Line 105:
* In ''[[Gypsy]]'', Rosalind Russell's singing was dubbed over by Lisa Kirk. Natalie Wood, however, got to use her own singing voice this time.
* ''[[Gold Diggers of 1933]]'' had Joan Blondell's singing dubbed over by Marian Anderson in "Remember My Forgotten Man." (Blondell used her own singing voice in ''Dames''. It was not pretty.)
* The film version of ''[[Oliver! (Theatre)|Oliver]]'' had the vocals of the title character (played by Mark Lester) sung by Kathe Green, who was the daughter of the musical director.
* In ''[[The Great Race]]'', Natalie Wood's singing was once again dubbed, this time by Jackie Ward.
** Only when she was singing "The Sweetheart Tree". During an earlier scene, she sings "My Country Tis Of Thee", and it is noticeably off-key.
Line 207:
* The ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "Don't Make Me Over" saw the Griffins forming a family band fronted by Meg. Trouble is, Meg's voice actress, [[Mila Kunis]], can't sing (unlike [[Lacey Chabert]], who originally voiced Meg - see ''Anastasia'' above), so they called in Tara Strong to perform Meg's song.
* The film adaptation of ''[[Coraline (Film)|Coraline]]'' sees the Other Father (voiced by John Hodgman) sing a [[Ear Worm|catchy little ditty]] about Coraline, in the voice of John Linnell of [[They Might Be Giants]].
** 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.
** It's not the first time Kevin Conroy has sung in the DCAU, either--in the ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' episode "Out of the Past", Bruce and Terry see a performance of "Batman--The Musical!". Kevin Conroy provides the singing voice for the onstage Batman (as does Adrienne Barbeau for the onstage Catwoman).
Line 223:
** In a similar example, [[Asian Store Owner|Mr. Hyunh]] of [[Hey Arnold]] has an inexplicable country singing voice, done by none other than Randy Travis.
* ''[[Sonic Underground]]'' had the three hedgehog protagonists (yes, even the girl) voiced by the same voice actor, [[Family Matters|Jaleel White]]. However, when it came to the [[Once an Episode]] singing segment, they were voiced by three separate Voice Actors: Sam Vincent for Sonic, Tyley Ross for Manic and Louise Vallance for Sonia.
** 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.
Line 242:
* In ''[[The Flintstones]]'', Wilma and Betty both had several different singing voices. None of them sounded anything like their speaking voices.
* Notably averted throughout ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]''. However, some autotuning was required to improve the quality of several characters, especially in "Come Fly With Us." The lack of this probably explains why Cody sings so little, despite lasting second-longest out of a team that was called to perform more than any other. Notably Ezekiel and Tyler, also voiced by Peter Oldring, don't sing much either. (Of course, you'll find plenty of fangirls who still like Cody's singing anyway...)
* All over the place in ''[[Quest for Camelot]]''; also a major case of [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Kayley is voiced by [[Glee|Teri Schuester]] (speaking) and Andrea Corr (singing); Garrett is voiced by [[The Princess Bride (Film)|Westley]] (speaking) and Bryan White (singing); Kayley's mother is voiced by Jane Seymour (speaking) and [[Celine Dion]] (singing); King Arthur is voiced by [[Pierce Brosnan|James Bond]] (speaking) and [[Journey (Music)|Steve Perry]] (singing). (And I think we already know that [[Pierce Brosnan]] [[Mamma Mia|should never sing]].)
* Otto the gorilla from [[The Haunted World of El Superbeasto]] is voiced by [[Tom Kenny]]; his singing voice for his [[School House Rock]] parody song is done by Chris Hardwick.
* In the ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]'' episode "Woodstock Slappy", the speaking voice of the [[The Who|Roger Daltrey]] caricature is voiced by [[Jim Cummings]]; his singing voice, however, is provided by [[Rob Paulsen]].
