Are Lip Sync Videos a Good Idea for a Brand?
Lip sync videos may be better left to kids and to content creators putting out fluff, in Loren Weisman’s view. A brand with an authentic message of its own can use its own voice and images of you and your product instead. Speaking as yourself may also be one more way to differentiate while so many others lip sync and pretend.
- People have been lip syncing along to TV phrases, songs and celebrity clips for years, as he sees it.

Leaving Lip Sync Videos to the Kids
Consider leaving the lip syncing videos for the kids and the content creators that are just putting out the fluff and stuff. My name is Loren Weisman. I’m a brand communications and optics strategist and right now inside of Optics there are many people and I mean this has been happening for years that lip sync along to this TV phrase, this song, other celebrities saying things.
Your Message, Not Someone Else’s Audio
But if you’re genuinely trying to put out a message in your videos that’s authentic, that’s honorable, that’s yours, don’t use the audio track of somebody else, don’t play the fool and redirect stuff and cutesy crap. Be you.
Let the Images Be of You
In a time when so many other people are pretending and faking and pretending to be someone else, be you, showcase you. Excuse me, Let the images be of you, from you, about you and about your product.
It’s one more way to differentiate while so many other people are lip syncing and pretending to be things that they aren’t.

Questions and Answers
Do lip sync videos help a business brand?
Lip sync videos may not fit a business with a genuine message to share, because they borrow somebody else’s audio instead of your own voice. Kids and content creators putting out fluff may be a better fit for that trend, in Loren Weisman’s view.
How can a brand stand out with social media videos?
A brand can stand out by using its own voice and showing its own people and product instead of lip syncing to someone else’s audio. With so many people pretending and faking, being yourself on video may be one more way to differentiate.
What makes a brand video feel authentic?
A brand video can feel authentic when the message and the images are yours: of you, from you, about you and about your product. Leaving behind borrowed audio tracks, cutesy edits and pretending to be someone else may help the message stay your own.
