Looking at the address? (3-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lip-reading

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'looking' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'at the address?' is the wordplay.
'at' becomes 'lip' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'the address?' becomes 'reading' (reading is a kind of address).
'lip'+'reading'='LIP-READING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lip-reading that I've seen is " Interpretation by following mouth movements".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
