lipsynching
Silent singing performance
Lipsynching is mouthing words to a prerecorded vocal track, matching lip movements to the audio without actually singing or speaking.
Performers lipsync on stage when vocal demands are too taxing, or in music videos where live recording isn't practical.
The spelling varies: lip-syncing, lip-synching, lipsyncing.
