Non-Singing Voice: Difference between revisions

*** He also did the [[Image Song]] "Kageri no Fuuin" for ''[[Harukanaru Toki no Naka de]]'''s [[Onmyodo|Abe no Yasuaki]]; a remake version of it was used in the ''Hachiyou Shou'' TV anime as the [[Ending Theme]] for Yasuaki's [[A Day in the Limelight|character episode]]. The song might be a bit strange, but then again, it's ''[[Artificial Human|Yasuaki]]''. This, unfortunately, is his ''only'' normal song in the entire series; otherwise they are just talk tracks.

* Another anime where this happens is for Koyuki's singing in ''[[Beck]]''. It's painfully obvious, too. Funnily enough, the ''dub'' averts this, as [[Greg Ayres]] does his own singing.

* For the three North American dub CDs released of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', most of the show's voice actresses don't sing their characters' [[Image Song|image songs]]. Jennifer Cihi sings [[Dub Name Change|Serena's,]] songwriter Shandi Sinnamon does Amy's, Sandy Howell does Raye's vocals, and Patricia Tollett does Lita's.

* In [[Love Hina]] dub, during episode 11 and episode 18 when the characters sing, the show switches back to the Japanese vocal track. However, the song in the Spring Special is dubbed by the English [[VAs]].

** [[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.

*** Bernadette Peters too.

*** And the "additional voices" is a who's who of Broadway, including J.K. Simmons and Andrea Martin.

*** He was also the singing voice for Gregory in ''[[South Park]]: [[The Movie|Bigger, Longer, & Uncut]]'' who's speaking voice was Trey Parker.

* The Live action Alvin and the Chipmunks has Theodore voiced by Jesse [[Mc Cartney]] for speaking only. However, Mccartney is a professional singer and did not record his character's singing voice.

** More actresses Liz Callaway has pretended to be:

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

** [[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.

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

** This was a [[Shout-Out]] to the fact that, originally, the film was going to be a musical with songs written by [[They Might Be Giants]]. As awesome as that could have been, it apparently [[Mood Whiplash|ruined the creepy tone of the movie]], so the idea was scrapped. "The Other Father Song" is the only remnant of the musical idea.

* Notably averted in ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoRundeX6O0 Yep, that's really Batman singing there]. The writers discovered that Kevin Conroy was trained as a singer, and figured that it was just too funny to pass up.

** [[Mark Hamill]] and [[Paul Williams]] also sing for the stage Joker and Penguin but you can just barely make them out because they sing in unison.
