lipsynch
Fake the singing
Lipsynch is a variant spelling of lip-sync, meaning to move the lips in synchronization with recorded audio—typically a song or dubbed dialogue.
Performers lipsynch when the actual sound comes from a recording rather than live vocals: The pop star was caught lipsyching during the halftime show.
Also spelled lip-sync, lip sync, or lipsync.
