lip-syncer
Silent vocal pretender
A lip-syncer is someone who moves their lips in synchronization with recorded audio, creating the appearance of singing or speaking live.
Performers lip-sync at concerts when vocal demands are too strenuous, or in music videos where live recording is impractical.
The term often carries a whiff of inauthenticity: The pop star was exposed as a lip-syncer.
Also spelled lip-syncher.
