I could swear I've read Whoopi was dubbed in the Sister Act movies. Though on IMDB it says she did all of her own singing.

Anyone know the real deal?

I hope she wasn't dubbed because they spent a lot of money for a voice that had no range.

Whoopi gave a great singing performance in Sister Act, but a great singer she ain't.

I don't think she was dubbed. The voice sounds exactly like her.

The one I know for a fact was dubbed was Wendy Makkena (Sister Mary Robert). Her singing voice was provided by Andrew Robinson.

Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

You mean, Andrea Robinson, SM2

No, Whoopi did her own singing. Compare it to her verse and a half in "Cinderella."

Sister Mary Robert was dubbed, but that is actually Whoopi singing.


speaking of which, does anyone know is that same woman who sang for Mary Robert sang the part of the mother in the opening of Newsies after the nuns sing their verse? I've always thought they sound very similar.

Thanks, husk. *blush*

Pippin, I don't know about NEWSIES, but Andrea Robinson was the voice of Ariel's mother in ARIEL'S BEGINNING.

Pippin, I've always thought the same thing.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
