Question

Will this work with opera songs?

Community Answer

Lip syncing is just moving your lips and acting like you're the one singing, so you can do it to any kind of music that has lyrics!

Question

Are you actually singing along with the song, or singing with an instrumental?

Community Answer

Lip syncing is silent mouthing along with the song.

Question

Isn't this plagiarizing?

Community Answer

No. You're not trying to pass off the song as your own work; you're just emulating someone else's movements.

It's a fine amount of time, if that's the length of your song.

Question

I'm planing to lip sync "Sweet Victory" from SpongeBob Squarepants. Would it work to have trumpets pretend to do the fanfare at the beginning?

Community Answer

Yes, I think that would be very cute and funny. If you're doing it for an official competition, just make sure there aren't any rules about not permitting props.

If I were doing the Mickey Mouse theme song, should I dress up as Mickey?

You could; it would definitely make for better performance. The costumes are only limited by your imagination. Go crazy!

Question

I am still scared of lip syncing. What should I do?

Community Answer

Give yourself time. Lip syncing skill and/or courage to do it doesn’t come overnight. Start by practicing in front of a mirror. Then try it with a good friend or family member. Relax and have fun!

Question

How many people lip sync to their own song at concerts or performances? And why?

Community Answer

That would be very rare (and not considered ethical), but it might happen if the performer was ill and unable to sing normally.
