If you mean sequecing s/w then I'm using Light Show Pro. I also use that s/w to animate my Halloween faces.

In 2012 I did a single 4 channel 5 foot x 5 foot face. I just finsihed building three 6 foot x 6 foot Halloween faces for 2013.

Any of them will do it since it is really just turning on/off a channel to make the different mouth poses.

Papagayo is commonly used to line up the words to generate where to turn channels on/off (there is even a plugin in Vixen to pull in the file it produces)
HLS has an editor built in to do the papgayo step

I used LSP last year for Halloween and just manually translated the timing marks from Papgayo on to the grid in LSP.

So, if you have a sequencer you are comfortable with it may just be a matter of adding papagayo to your sequencing work.

Here's a good thread over at DIYC about it:
