lip syncing
Mouthing recorded words
Lip syncing is moving your lips in synchronization with recorded audio—usually music or dialogue—without actually producing the sound.
Performers lip sync when singing live is impractical or risky: She was caught lip syncing at the concert.
The term extends to dubbing foreign films or matching dialogue in post-production.
Also spelled lip-syncing or lip-synching.
