lip synch
Definition
- Noun:
- The act of matching lip movements to pre-recorded audio: "lip synch" refers to the technical process or performance technique where a person's lip movements are precisely aligned with a previously recorded soundtrack. This is commonly used in film, music videos, and live performances to ensure perfect synchronization between the audio and the visual of a person speaking or singing.
Usage
- As a noun: The term is used to describe the technique itself or a specific instance of its use.

- In filmmaking, good lip synch is essential for dialogue scenes shot with separate audio.
Advanced Usage
- "To be in lip synch": Describes the state of perfect synchronization.
- After several takes, the actor's mouth was finally in perfect lip synch with the dubbed dialogue.
- Technical Context: In audiovisual production, "lip synch" (or "lip sync") is a critical post-production and performance concern to maintain realism and avoid the distracting effect of unsynchronized audio and video.

It is distinct from "playback", which is simply the act of playing recorded audio, without the specific emphasis on matching lip movements.
Noun
-
combining audio and video recording in such a way that the sound is perfectly synchronized with the action that produced it; especially synchronizing the movements of a speaker's lips with the sound of his speech
