Lip-synching in music is "moving the lips in synchronization with ()recorded speech or song"〔The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition copyright 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Updated in 2009. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company.〕 to give the appearance of a 'live' performance. It is generally considered dishonest, though some producers argue that it needs to be done in some performance contexts. Lip-synching, also called ''miming'', can be used to make it appear as though actors have musical ability (e.g., ''The Partridge Family'') or to misattribute vocals (e.g. Milli Vanilli), to enable them to perform live dance numbers, or to cover for illness or other deficiencies during live performance. The practice of lip synching during live performances is frowned on by some who view it as a crutch only used by lesser talents. On ''American Bandstand'' and most variety shows of the 1960s, vocals and instrumentals were all synced to pre-recorded music. Since the advent of MTV in the 1980s, many artists have focused on visual effects, rather than singing, for their live shows.〔 Artists often lip-sync during strenuous dance numbers in both live and recorded performances.〔 Some singers habitually lip-sync during live performance, both concert and televised, whereas others do lip syncing only for certain songs or types of performances. ==Videos== Because the film track and music track are recorded separately during the creation of a music video, artists usually lip-synch to their songs and often imitate playing musical instruments as well. Artists also sometimes move their lips at speed faster than that of the track so as to create videos with a slow-motion effect in the final clip, which is widely considered to be complex to achieve. Notable exceptions to this trend include Bruce Springsteen's hit "Streets of Philadelphia", which only uses the instruments as a backing track while the vocals were recorded with a microphone attached on the singer, giving a different feel to it. Lip-synching is almost always used in modern musical films (''The Rocky Horror Picture Show'' being an exception) and in biopics such as ''Ray'' and ''La Vie en Rose'', where the original recording adds authenticity. But some early musicals usually use live recordings. And when songs appear in non-musical films, however, the actors sing live on set, but later dub their voices in ADR using a "better" performance of the song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lip-synching in music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
