Lip syncing and its importance

What is lip syncing?

Lip syncing is when the visuals of someone singing in linked completely in time with the sound. This is done during the editing process and can sometimes be very difficult to do perfectly. If the lip syncing is good you wont think about it while watching the video. However if the lip syncing is badly done it is very noticeable.

Why is lip syncing important?

Lip syncing is important because if the lip syncing isn't perfectly in time it can distract the audience from listening or watching the rest of the video.

How do help insure good lip syncing:

• Insure the singer knows the lyrics well
• make sure you singer can hear the song while lip syncing to be able to get the correct timings
• It can also help if instead of mouthing the words to singer sings along to the song so you get the correct lip movements
