Lip Syncing

What is lip syncing?

Lip syncing is used throughout the music industry, it is where a singer moves their lips silently in synchronisation with a recorded soundtrack. It also includes the imitation of musical instruments in some cases. Singers often use lip syncing in music videos, there are a few reasons behind this. Firstly they may do it because their music video includes a dance routine or something similar this means they may not be able to produce their best singing voice while doing it therefore use lip syncing to hide this. If done properly it can look very professional however if done inaccurately it can ruin a whole music video.


Here is an example of lip syncing used well, it is a take that video called shine they have dance routines throughout and it is clear it is no a live performance therefore lip syncing can be used to effect here and they have done so.
