I want to make facial animation using deformers. I know we have to duplicate the face for each emotion, and then use deformers to make changes. But how do I set it to that one instance of the faces changes into the next ones? I tried looking it up on Google but the tutorials I found are not very good. Anyone have better tutorial sites for this? Please help!

Do you mean "Blend Shapes"?

Blend Shape and some non-linear deformers.

You would have to use blend shapes for facial expressions, but if you're going into more complex shapes then I highly recommend the advance rigging kit.
