Lipdub: singing drama?

Although I like drama and I know my students love it too, as I’m always in a rush I never have time to prepare anything.

We only do role-plays or games while we are learning lesson after lesson.

But we have a project, we are going to make a lipdub:

first, we have to choose a song in English,

then, we are going to learn it,

after that, we are going to decide how to act it and

finally, we are going to record it.

Lipdubs are very fashionable nowadays, they are a nice way of learning a language, and also to do drama.

The difficult part is that normally they are recorded without stopping…

A lip dub is a type of video that combines lip synching and audio dubbing to make a music video . It is made by filming individuals or a group of people lip synching while listening to a song or any recorded audio then dubbing over it in post editing with the original audio of the song. There is often some form of mobile audio device used such as an MP3 players . Often they look like simple music videos, although many involve a lot of preparation and production. Lip dubs can be done in a single unedited shot that often travels through different rooms and situations within a building. They have become popular with the advent of mass participatory video content sites like YouTube .
