Stunning Impersonations of Divas - Little Voice

submitted by Eden

1 decade 7 years 4 months 3 weeks ago

Jane Horrocks is a super talented performer - she did ALL the her own singing for this film, Little Voice (1998). She plays a very shy girl with no social skills, who has learned to imitate performers such as Dietrich, Garland, Monroe and Bassey through listening to her dead Father's record collection. In this scene, pushed into performing by a sleazy agent (Michael Caine) she briefly finds the confidence to put on a wonderful show while she imagines her proud Father in the audience.
Jane is well known for playing Bubble in 'Absolutely Fabulous' with Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley.

Now if most "pop stars" could be this good at singing...

I miss the bands that were actually bands. More artists should play with a full jazz orchestra. It sure is fun to play in a jazz orchestra with a great vocalist.

It's great to see a voice actor get some actual screentime - a true talent indeed.
