Art of a person moving their mouth and pretending to reproduce their own or someone else's voice that is already recorded

It is a concept that is made up of the union of two terms such as being a phone, which refers to voice or sound and mimicry that consists of a expression characterized by the performance of movements and gestures with the face and body.

Normally, the phonomymic is used in musical shows that require the protagonists singers a huge physical effort, or when they are not able to reproduce live the same quality voice obtained in a recording studio.

This last situation happens frequently to artists who do not have a great volume of voice and who at the same time their shows demand a great physical effort, that is, they perform a great choreographic display on stage and then this added to the

interpretation vowel is practically impossible for them and that is why they resort to phonomics.

Although, as we just mentioned, phonomics is an art that is quite widespread throughout the world, especially in the artistic, at the request of works by theater musicals, in musical television shows and in musical presentations of groups or soloists on big stages, many times, their use is not concealed or directly assumed and it is realized that they are actually singing live, when in reality they are not doing.

An emblematic case in this regard, which set precedents has been that of the group Milli Vanilli, of enormous success and repercussion, of whom, it was learned as a result of a flaw in the recording that they were doing phonomics, even more, they had always done phonomics, not being their voices the ones that had always been listened.

This event marked a milestone in the world of music and of course it was a major scandal that ended absolutely and immediately with the race of this group that at that time was certainly successful and seemed to have no ceiling in terms of successes.

A similar practice is usually used to give voice to animation characters, known as dubbing, but we must emphasize that they cannot be confused, since they do not imply the same thing.
In the case of dubbing, there is an actor who voices an animated character, and quite the opposite of what we have been commenting on about the rejections generated by the phonymic in the In the case of dubbing, the opposite happens, since the public is usually attracted to see a movie when they know that this or that actor is responsible for one of the characters intervening parties.
