Non-Singing Voice: Difference between revisions

Line 81:

I'm sorry it isn't mine. }}

* Averted in the movie version of ''[[Guys and Dolls]]'', where the tone-deaf [[Marlon Brando]] was given singing voice by the miracle of sound editing. (It's ironic that he played a singing lead part, given that the musical's second male role, Nathan Detroit, was originally played by the tone-deaf Sam Levene and written to suit. In the movie, Nathan was played by ''[[Frank Sinatra]]''.)

** The same thing was done for Gloria Grahame as Ado Annie in the 1955 film version of ''[[Oklahoma]]''.

** The same thing was done for Gloria Grahame as Ado Annie in the 1955 film version of ''[[Oklahoma!]]''.

* Most every film role that [[Lucille Ball]] did before television. After becoming a TV star, she used her own not-quite-singing voice for ''Mame'' (and the unsuccessful Broadway musical ''Wildcat'' which she starred in and co-produced).

* In ''[[Gigi]]'', Leslie Caron's singing was all dubbed by Betty Wand except for the verse of "The Night They Invented Champagne."

Line 133:

* In Jeff Wayne's [[Rock Opera]] adaptation of ''[[The War of the Worlds]]'', Sir Richard Burton is the narrating voice of the Journalist, whereas Justin Hayward is the character's singing voice.

* In Jeff Wayne's [[Rock Opera]] adaptation of ''[[The War of the Worlds (novel)|The War of the Worlds]]'', Sir Richard Burton is the narrating voice of the Journalist, whereas Justin Hayward is the character's singing voice.

* Inverted by the [[Gorillaz]]: 2D was originally played by real-life singer Damon Albarn, but had a second voice actor, (Nelson de Freitas,) hired to record his speaking voice.

* Milli Vanilli was an extremely popular, award-winning rap/pop group in the late 80s and early 90s that returned a Grammy after it was revealed that the people getting all the credit for the music were just models dancing and lipsynching to uncredited vocalists. They were the original [[Trope Namer]] for [[Same Language Dub|the acting version]].

Line 172:

*** Neve Campbell (Kiara in ''[[The Lion King]] II: Simba's Pride'')

*** Linda Larkin (Jasmine in both ''Aladdin'' sequels, replacing Lea Salonga from the first movie—which is perfect, seeing as it's ridiculously easy for someone to mistake Liz for Lea and vice versa).

** [[Hercules (~~Disney~~ film)|Hercules]] had no fewer than three voices - Tate Donovan as adult Herc, Josh Keaton when he's younger, and Roger Bart when he's younger and singing.

** [[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]] had no fewer than three voices - Tate Donovan as adult Herc, Josh Keaton when he's younger, and Roger Bart when he's younger and singing.

*** Averted in the Mexican Spanish dub (see below).

** Matthew Broderick can sing, but for whatever reason, Joseph Williams replaces Simba for singing in ''[[The Lion King]]'' (and Cam Clarke afterwards). Young Simba is also replaced (Jason Weaver instead of Jonathan Taylor Thomas), and Jeremy Irons sings some of Scar's lyrics, but partway through, the harsher lyrics were replaced by that of [[Jim Cummings]].

* In ''[[Lady and the Tramp]] [[Better Than It Sounds|II Scamp's Adventure]]'' there are three examples of this Buster's speaking voice is Chazz Palminteri while his singing voice is Jess Harnell, Scamp's speaking voice is Scott Wolf and his singing voice is Roger Bart, and Angel's speaking voice is Alyssa Milano and her singing voice is Susan Egan.

** It's funny that the singing voice for [[Hercules (~~Disney~~ film)|Hercules]] and Scamp is Roger Bart, and Susan Egan the voice for Meg is the singing voice of Angel, Scamp's girlfriend.

** It's funny that the singing voice for [[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]] and Scamp is Roger Bart, and Susan Egan the voice for Meg is the singing voice of Angel, Scamp's girlfriend.

* In the ''[[Baby Blues]]'' episode World's Greatest Dad the scantily clad big busted Birthday Lady's speaking voice was Kath Soucie and her singing voice by Elizabeth Daily.

* In the animated version of ''[[The King and I]]'', as like its live-action counterpart, Anna had a separate voice actor as her singing voice.

Line 224:

** Funny when you consider that [[Hey, It's That Guy!|Sonic's singing voice is the same guy who voices]] [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Double D]].

* In the ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' episode "Fanning the Flames", the song sung by [[Musical Assassin|Ember]] was by a woman named Robin Kimissel while her main actress is Tara Strong. Strangely, this is the only incident of that happening. Ember sings another song in another episode which as far as anyone knows, Tara Strong does. Robin Kimiseel only does one episode and is never heard from again.

** Kimissel was also the singing voice for [[~~Chalk Zone~~|Penny Sanchez]]. Rudy and Snap kept their regular voices.

** Kimissel was also the singing voice for [[ChalkZone|Penny Sanchez]]. Rudy and Snap kept their regular voices.

** Averted with pretty much every other Nicktoon.

* In ''[[The Fairly ~~Odd Parents~~]]'' [[Musical Episode]], the pixies, normally voiced by Ben Stein, had their singing voices done by rappers Methold Man and Redman.

* In ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' [[Musical Episode]], the pixies, normally voiced by Ben Stein, had their singing voices done by rappers Methold Man and Redman.

** A bit of a subversion, though, in that the two voices (dull monotone as opposed to, well, rapping) were so different that it was very obvious, as with the ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' episode below.

* In an episode of ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' Filbert discovers he has a talent for lounge singing. His regular speaking voice was done by Doug Lawrence and his singing voice by Tom Kenny (Heffer), who in addition to voice acting is also a professional singer.

Line 237:

* While [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] often sings in his normal voice, on special occasions he shows off a fantastic singing voice that sounds nothing like him, with him being voiced by a different guest singer every time.

** Also, in "Welcome to the Chum Bucket", Mr. Krabs's singing voice is done by [[Dee Bradley Baker]] instead of [[Clancy Brown]].

* In ''[[Toy Story]] 2'', Jessie is voiced by Joan Cusack, but her yodeling was by the late Mary Kay Bergman. Wheezy (voiced by [[Pixar Regulars]] Joe Ranft) sings a reprise of the original film's "You've Got a Friend in Me" at the end, sung by Robert Goulet. (the series has many first-person songs such as "When She Loved Me", "You've Got a Friend in Me", "Strange Things" and "I Will Go Sailing No More", but it's more of "music to fit the situation" instead of "character singing")

* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 2'', Jessie is voiced by Joan Cusack, but her yodeling was by the late Mary Kay Bergman. Wheezy (voiced by [[Pixar Regulars]] Joe Ranft) sings a reprise of the original film's "You've Got a Friend in Me" at the end, sung by Robert Goulet.

* Averted in ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'', where Billy Crystal and John Goodman sing in character as Mike and Sulley over the end credits.

* In ''[[The Flintstones]]'', Wilma and Betty both had several different singing voices. None of them sounded anything like their speaking voices.
