What is lip syncing?

As the day before spring break gets closer, many students are thinking about their entry for the Lip Sync contest. Lip syncing is a fine art. You need to memorize the words to your song. Then, you pretend to sing in time to the music. Some people add dancing to go with their pretend singing, but pretending to sing is the most important part. For a GREAT example of lip syncing, please watch the video below!

DJ Fresh - Louder

I can't control this feeling,

something's happening inside me.
Our senses come alive,
the chemistry is building.
It's something that we're feeling,
there's nowhere you can hide.

(Chorus)
It's gonna' get...
It's gonna' get...
It's gonna' get louder.

We're gonna' get...
We're gonna' get...
We're gonna' get stronger.

We're gonna' feel...
We're gonna' feel...
We're gonna' feel better.

You can't tame this energy inside

I gotta reach...
I gotta reach...
I gotta reach higher.

I wanna burn...
I wanna burn...
I burn like a fire.

Gotta move...
Gotta move...
Gotta move faster.

You can't tame this energy inside.

Perpetual emotion.
It's just a ripple in the ocean.
A shadow in the night.
Changes we're making for the better,
we're going through together.
There's nowhere you can hide.

It's more than a feeling,
We're building a dream that we've always had clear in our sights.
Watch it ignite as we open our eye,
it's the one way we know to survive.
We're powerfully changing the world,
We're reclaiming our unity,
They can't divide.
They push us around,
but we're tearing it down,
and we're having the time of our life.

Repeat (Chorus)

Faster
Louder
Stronger
Better

Faster
Louder
Better
