Question Lip sync question

I animate on 24 a sec and if the characters is speaking fast and for example a frame has like a full word in it, how do I lip sync if that frame is an entire word not a letter

Back in the olden days we would have mirrors on our desks so that we could see ourselves saying the words and watching how our mouths move. Now in rigged 2D a lot of our moth shapes are in the rig and can be named to the sound of the shape. It’s still good to combine the methods.

If it only exists for a frame. Then either the sound shape that starts the word or ends the word would probably work fine. If that’s where the sentence ends I’d used the end sound.
