** [[Hiroshi Kamiya]] ''does'' sing one of the ''ending'' themes himself though. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhiHq54Vg58&feature=BFa&list=PL264D77032AF42804&index=79 Very nicely, actually.]

* Averted in the [[FUNimation]] dub of [[One Piece]], where the English voice actors sang the character song "Family" during a scene in Skypeia.

* When Viz Video attempted to create a North American version of the vocal group DoCo (which was made up of the five primary voice actresses from ''[[Ranma ½]]''), four of their five dub actresses could sing well enough to take part. However, for some reason Angela Costain (the English voice of Nabiki Tendo) was replaced with a fifth singer who sounded nothing like her. This is most ~~notable~~ during Nabiki's parts in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onjsj6zyewg English version of "Red Shoe Sunday"].

* In ''[[White Christmas]]'', Vera-Ellen's singing voice was provided by one Trudy Stevens. For the song "Sisters," Rosemary Clooney [[Solo Duet|sang both parts]].

** Other movie musicals featuring Vera-Ellen had someone else do her singing voice, except ''[[On the Town]]'', which assigned her a non-singing part.

* In ''[[Back to The Future]]'', Mark Campbell was the one to sing "Johnny B. Goode" - in the place of Michael J. Fox. The song was credited as having been "performed by [[Character as Himself|Marty McFly]]".
