What is Lip-Syncing and why is it important

Lip-syncing is a technical term for matching lip movements with sung or spoken vocals. The term can refer to any of a number of different techniques and processes, in the context of live performances and recordings. It is often part of the post-production phase.

During the production of a music video the film track and music track are recorded separately as a result to this artists usually lip-synch to their songs this may allow for better quality audio in the video but it will also rule out the need for microphones which could ruin the visual experience.

Artists often lip-synch during strenuous dance numbers in both live and recorded performances, due to lung capacity being needed for physical activity. Using lip-syncing here will allow for a better on-screen performance as the artist will not have as many things to focus on. It also makes life much easier for the artist as it will be easier for them to manage their breathing.
