Pretending to sing

0 The other day I heard an expression which meant that a singer was on stage mouthing the words of a song, but not actually singing, although this could only be noticed by people at the front of the stage. I guessed the meaning but didn't quite catch the words to express it. I think it had OVER in it, but I'm not sure.02br
00Can anyone help?02br
00Thanks. Marco0-

00You may be thinking of the term 'voice over', but that does not seem appropriate here. If someone is only pretending to sing, the common term is 01font00'lip-synching''02font00 (synchronizing the movement of their lips with the music).02br
