Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Cinderella”
Whoopi’s got pipes
But it wasn’t just the professional singers who got a chance to exercise their vocal chords. Actress and comedienne Whoopi Goldberg also hit a few notes in the film. But it wasn’t exactly a comfortable feeling for her.
She told Jet, “That was me singing. But it’s not my forte. It’s not my thing. It’s a fight, an internal fight. I’m a good comic. I’m a good drama actor. But I’m not known as a song-and-dance person. It was a very hard thing to do because I’m surrounded by singers. Whitney, Brandy, Jason Alexander are singers. Bernadette is a singer. Then there’s me.”
She held her own though and Whoopi’s voice is actually quite nice.
