Armenian singers argue on lip-synching ban
A singer must not deceive the audience, Armenian singer Suzan Margaryan told a news conference in Yerevan today.
Supporting the opinion, musician Artavadz Bayatyan said, however, that before passing the ban on lip-synching, a number of problems had to be addressed.
"We lack professional sound technicians and can't pay high price for concert halls," he said.
On February 25, Armenian Minister of Culture Hasmik Poghosyan signed a lip synching ban aimed at the improvement of the singers' performance quality at state events.
According to the decree, lip-synching is not forbidden at private events, yet the organizers are obligated to mention about the use of audio record in the advertisements and leaflets announcing the event.
