How to Fake Sing

Many people dream of stepping onto stage and stealing the spotlight with their singing, but most of us have to settle for fake singing. We pretend to sing along with the song and imitate our favorite singer's style. Fake singing is entertaining with friends or alone standing in front of the bathroom mirror.
