lipsyncs

Fakes the vocals

Lipsyncs is the third-person singular verb form of lipsync—to move the lips in synchronization with recorded audio, creating the illusion of singing or speaking live.

Performers lipsync on stage when vocal demands exceed what's practical, and drag queens lipsync as central to their art form: She lipsyncs to Whitney Houston every Friday night.

Also spelled lip-syncs.
