Film Music Should Should Have Singer Voice

Turkish - Businessman

I love singing live, actually. And I'm dying to sing in a role, whether it's in a musical or a biographical film about a singer. It's always been one of my aspirations.

Michelle Dockery

I love doing my music videos. I have grown up loving independent music and I am more of a performer than a playback singer and hence I want that if it's my voice, then it should be my face too.

Neha Bhasin

I love music; I was never the type of singer to say, "This is my specific genre, or I only sing R&B music." I feel like as a singer, you should be limitless and you shouldn't be stuck in a box.

Heather Headley

I don't call myself a singer, I'm a voice, lent to music

Debby Ryan

A film is being made on his life, so as a daughter and as a singer I will definitely be a part of it - not only in terms of the music but also in other aspects. It's an emotional project for us, every member of Kumar family will be associated with it. I am very happy to lend my voice in my father's biopic.

Tulsi Kumar

Mine is an actor's voice, not a singer's voice, but the part was written for an actor (Richard Burton), not a singer.

Jeremy Irons

If someone asked what kind of music I play, I wouldn't say I'm a folk singer; however, if folk music means music for the people, and playing music to entertain them and share different messages, then sure, I'd like to think that I'm part folk singer.

Langhorne Slim

Those who are not trained singers will find that their voice quavers. That should not happen. The quaver should be used only where necessary and not because a singer cannot hold a note or a tune.

Asha Bhosle

She was twenty and had come to realize that, though she had a voice, she wasn't a singer; that to endure and embrace the life of a singer demands a whole lot more than a voice.

James Baldwin

Whitney Houston's voice was the very first voice I fell in love with. She was the voice that made me want to become a singer.

Melanie Fiona

My grandma's into music. My mom is a singer. Even my sister is a much better singer than I am. So you could say music runs in the family.

Arijit Singh

I remember someone once saying, "Pete, you know you really should take voice lessons." And I said, "Well, if I could find any voice teacher that could teach me to sing like Lead Belly I'd spend every cent to study under him." But every time you'd go to a voice teacher, he'd teach you to warble, as if you'd want to be an opera singer, and that's not what I'm interested in.

Pete Seeger

When I do the music, I make the musicians listen to what's happening in the film. That way they treat the dialogue as if it was a singer.

Mike Figgis

I want to experiment with my voice and music because people have type-casted me as a soft ballad singer. I have to break that image.

Jubin Nautiyal

I don't know why people call me a jazz singer, though I guess people associate me with jazz because I was raised in it, from way back. I'm not putting jazz down, but I'm not a jazz singer...I've recorded all kinds of music, but (to them) I'm either a jazz singer or a blues singer. I can't sing a blues – just a right-out blues – but I can put the blues in whatever I sing. I might sing 'Send In the Clowns' and I might stick a little bluesy part in it, or any song. What I want to do, music-wise, is all kinds of music that I like, and I like all kinds of music.

Sarah Vaughan

There's a lot of female singers and I don't want to dismiss them, but the male - and I have to be careful - the black male voice in jazz, whatever you say, is an important voice, because there's a tradition of the music that should be touched on, there's a sound that should be touched on.

Gregory Porter
