[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5933320, member: 19675"] Hollywood has a long tradition of overdubbing singing parts. It mainly comes down to whether the actor's singing matches what the director hears in his head. [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NonSingingVoice]Non-Singing Voice - Television Tropes & Idioms[/url] Some voice actors make a career of overdubbing singing for movies, like Marni Nixon. [url]http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/ae/articles/2008/06/15/20080615fairlady0615.htm[/url] Mark Wahlberg, despite launching his career as a singer in a boy band, had his character's songs in [I]Rock Star[/I] overdubbed by actual metal singers Mike Matijevic (Steelheart) and Jeff Scott Sotto (Malmsteen and other bands). Almost all of the other musicians in the movie performed their own music...and there were a lot of them. In Woody Allen's movie, [I]Everyone Says I Love You[/I], everyone sang their own parts...except Drew Barrymore. OTOH, Marlon Brando really couldn't sing, but his distinctive voice was really wanted by the director of [I]Guys & Dolls[/I]- they pieced his performances together from dozens of takes. And of course, some movies like [I]Rock of Ages[/I], [I]Evita[/I] and others do let the stars do the singing. (I've heard some clips...it may work for the movie, but I don't think I'm buying that soundtrack.) [/QUOTE]
