Was she singing during episode 3 of "This is Us"?


Does anyone know if that was Chrissy singing during Kate's performance of "Time After Time"? Wow. Beautiful voice. I think it really was her singing, but I would like to know if anyone can confirm this.

I would think so-otherwise, I don't know why they would put that in the plot.

I'm sure it was her, but it sounded suspiciously artificial [auto-tuned]. That entire scene annoyed me; an opportunity for yet another endearing quality in this already-great show was wasted by a cheap selection out of the writers' bag of tricks.
Here's my beef with that...
The obvious next step in the plot was this newfound boyfriend bringing Kate out of her shell. It could have been done by any number of selfless gestures, a wonderful and unique surprise that would win him a place in our hearts. Instead, we get the regular "Wow, you can sing: I'm going to affectionately trick you into performing for an audience!" This plot device has been done to death. It simply has no "Wow, this guy's a keeper" effect anymore... as if it ever did.

Well, she probably dubbed it in in a studio after filming or it was recorded in a recording studio first.

The acoustics on a set wouldn't be very good for live singing.

I don't think it sounded autotuned at all. You could hear the little wobbles here and there in her voice, which I liked. It's a natural voice.

It WAS her singing, she's also quite a talented recording artist who has her own funk/r&b band called Chrissy and the Vapors.
