Use revolting fabrication — it could help you sound believable (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

silver tongue

'it could help you sound believable' is the definition.
(someone with a silver tongue is a good liar)

'use revolting fabrication' is the wordplay.
'fabrication' indicates an anagram.
'use'+'revolting'='userevolting'
'userevolting' anagrammed gives 'SILVER TONGUE'.
