Ed Sheeran is opening up about a secret in the music industry. The singer, currently on his Mathematics tour, revealed that many artists rely on lip-syncing during live shows\u2014even if they never acknowledge it publicly.<\/p>\n
The Grammy-winning star appeared on the Beta Squad YouTube channel, where he was tasked with identifying the voices of major pop icons. During the segment, one of the contestants admitted she would consider lip-syncing in a concert if her voice wasn\u2019t strong enough. Sheeran quickly responded, \u201cI don\u2019t know if a professional singer would admit to miming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pressed further by another contestant, who asked if many artists do it anyway, the Shape of You<\/em> hitmaker confirmed, \u201cThey don\u2019t admit to it though.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked if he had ever used backing tracks or mimed on stage, Sheeran made it clear that wasn\u2019t possible in his case. \u201cI can\u2019t get away with it because it\u2019s me with a loop pedal and a guitar,\u201d he explained, before adding that he never cancels a show because of vocal strain. \u201cI\u2019d always push through, even if it was, like, slightly raspy.\u201d<\/p>\n Sheeran emphasized that while some singers do mime, it\u2019s something they would never publicly confess to. \u201cI feel like if you are a professional singer, even if you do mime\u2014because there are professional singers that mime\u2014but they would never admit that they mime.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ed Sheeran is opening up about a secret in the music industry.
