LIPSYNCING

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Lip syncing matters as at live performances it can be quite obvious if the artist isn't on track with the timing and has the correct pronunciation however on television artists are able to get away with it due to editing . One issue this brings is that people pay to see their favorite artist and they are supposed to be "performing" however they just move their lips in sync to their music which isn't the real talent of the artist. Sometimes lip syncing can be off track slightly which will make it look as if the artist does not know the words and not putting effort into their work and performance casuing frustrations for the audience.

HOW DO YOU DO IT?

In order to lip sync you match the words of the song to the movement of your mouth to make it look like your performing or singing the song however your practically miming it and making it seem real sit. This takes a lot of skill especially as one mistake could mean having to re-take the whole track.

HOW DO YOU FIX IT IF IT IS BAD?

If the lip syncing is bad you can try and align the sound and the video of the track by specifically zooming in to specific parts and removing to make the song and recording the same length or you could retake the shot.
