lip-synching
Faking vocal performance
Lip-synching is moving your lips in synchronization with recorded sound—usually a singer mouthing along to a prerecorded track during a live performance: The pop star was caught lip-synching at the concert.
The practice is common in music videos, television appearances, and drag performances.
Also spelled lip-syncing.
