lip syncer
Mouthing the words
A lip syncer is someone who moves their lips in synchronization with recorded audio, typically a song or speech, without actually producing the sound.
The term applies to performers in music videos, drag queens mouthing to tracks, and anyone caught faking a live vocal: The singer was exposed as a lip syncer at the concert.
