When Doing Sign Language, Is It Required That You Mimic Speech With Your Mouth While Doing the Signs?

I'd like to learn American sign language but I want to keep my mouth closed at all times, is that allowed

Some professional signers do this as an assistive aid for those who are primarily oralist (i.e., labeled as "lip readers" which is actually "cued speech").

No, one does not have to do this.
