Does Efron sing in this movie?


Has he sung since he hit pubirty in high school musical ?

reply

Yes, he has a few parts where he sings. I believe all of the songs in this movie were sung by the actors/actresses themselves.

Yes, they were. They are lip-syncing to the music but it's not so noticeable that it takes you out of the movie. And Efron sings well, a few numbers where he even really impresses. Rewrite the stars for one and another with him and Jackman, I forget the name of at the moment.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see and if you have any thoughts or criticisms, i'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/8_-6y44Ueio

The actors/actresses always lip sync those singing parts in movies. Otherwise they can't possibly pickup the same studio sound quality.

reply

Yeah, only "Les Miserables" has tried to do singing live on set for the full movie, and for some musical movies, it could work, but this movie needed the lip-synching

Actually Loren Allred sang the part of Jenny Lind, which was played by Rebecca Ferguson :)
