Well, it all depends. if you want to do smooth mouth animations like in Unrenewable and Picturesque, you can create a video of the moving face in After Effects using masks, save it, open it in a new composition with the video, and then use the CC Cylinder tool to make it 3D. But if you want to have the animated mouths like in Changes for 6 music, you have to make the different mouths in Gimp, Illustrator, or Photoshop, Save them as a PSD, and then import them into After Effects. You then open the individual file and alter the visibility of the mouth patterns to the sequence of voices, and then use CC Cylinder on this.
Create a solid layer that is black, stick a mask on it, then keyframe the mask.
