lipsync
Mime the lyrics
Lipsync is moving your lips in synchronization with recorded audio—singing along to a track in performance, or matching dubbed dialogue in film.
Performers lipsync when the actual audio comes from elsewhere: She lipsynced the entire concert.
The practice is common in music videos, live shows with complex choreography, and drag performances.
Also spelled lip-sync or lip sync.
