    selecting, by the computing device, a parameter set corresponding to the mouth parameters from an animation library, the parameter set representing frame segments; and

    generating, via a noise producing entity, speech associated with the stimulus that is synchronized with the frame segments and overlaying the frame segments on a larger entity to synthesize a whole animated image.
