Genre: Playback Singer

A playback singer, also known as a ghost singer, is a singer whose singing is pre-recorded for use in films. Playback singers record songs for soundtracks, and actors or actresses lip-sync the songs for cameras; the actual singer does not appear on the screen.

South Asian films produced in the Indian subcontinent frequently use this technique. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
