  • 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.
  • Question

    It's a fine amount of time, if that's the length of your song.
  • Question
    Do you have to make a voice when lip syncing?

    No.
  • 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.

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

    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.
