Instagram Reels are a blatant copy of what is seen on TikTok. And it seems that Instagram doesn't even want to hide it. In fact, it continues to add TikTok features in its own short video section. The last ones have to do with the sound, and are key for more users to decide to replicate videos, trends and dances thanks to the music used in them.

If you are a TikTok user, you surely know the lipsync or dubbing that the application allows you to do. Just watch a video that you like, click on the disk icon to access its audio and, if you want, play it with your own interpretation. This way you will dub a famous sound and shared by all, but with your own touch. Well exactly the same thing happens on Instagram Reels.
All you have to do is select the video you would like to replicate and look at the name of the audio at the bottom left of the screen. By clicking on the name of this audio you access a screen with more videos that have recreated the same scene but from the perspective of each author. So you can get inspired and see what has been done with that audio and what hasn't.But the interesting thing is that you create your own content.

At that moment you will go to the Instagram Reels recording screen as usual. The difference is that when you press the record button, the music in the audio will start playing synchronously. So you can represent the scene to the rhythm of the music, or pretend that it's you who speaks to do the dubbing or create the video as you wish. Just like on TikTok.
