Most of the movie makers I know use a product called "Crazy Talk". It's not related to Secondlife at all. It's a 3rd party program, designed specifically to sync an avatar to an audio stream. It's hugely accurate even with no tweaking at all. It uses voice recognition technology and is hugely customizable. But you will need knowledge with things like garbage matting and post production tracking to get the lips/face onto your avatars. It works well with close-ups. Most use the default mouth animations for wide shots and Crazy Talk for closer shots where lip sync is necessary.

Yes, I use it too, but for long shots the SL mouth movements are great. I wouldn't say CT is "hugely accurate with no tweaking at all" - it's a lot of work but worth it.

There's a beta one in RC? Any webpage with details on how to use?

Atom Burma@ I did see that but seems its best suited for news reporters or short scenes...and doesn't work sideways

I believe it is in the Advanced Menu > Character > LipSync Beta or something along those lines,if I'm wrong if someone can clarify. Not near an SL viewer at the moment to confirm
