An animation creating apparatus that realizes more expressive "talking animation" by simplifying interface functions of a voiced/silent decision section and animation creating section and providing these sections in independent configurations, and that flexibly support various animation creating schemes and enable portable terminals to have lip-sync animation creating functions. In this apparatus, voiced/silent decision section 102 outputs degrees of voicedness of input speech signal (called "degree of voicedness") and outputs them to animation creating section 103 . Animation creating section 103 stores three images of a closed mouth, half-opened mouth and opened mouth, selects corresponding images from the three images by deciding the degree of voicedness input from voiced/silent decision section 102 with decision criteria in 3 stages of L, M, S, and performing a state transition, creates "talking animation" and outputs it to display section 104.
