Lip Sync Assignment

Choose a song (or portion of a song) that is more than 90 seconds, but less than 3 minutes and construct a performance with it through lip-synching.

• Do not dance
• Do not pretend your are a singer or musician
• Be a person saying these words as speaking to the audience or imaginary characters on stage

• Your performance must involve some movement and a variety of facial expressions that connect with the context of the song.

• Lyrics must be memorized

Beatles songs like “Elenore Rigby” or “Penny Lane” are a good choice, as are a lot of Disney movie songs; not the love ballads, but the fun one’s like “Be Our Guest”, “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” or “Pour Unfortunate Souls” (from Little Mermaid). But you can pick any song you want as long as it’s within the time limit and does not contain foul language. It’s okay if it’s the “clean” iTunes version of a song that was originally explicit.

The assignment is due – as in you will be performing it – on April 4
