As we can see Marc Martel has taken a big part on bohemian rhapsody movie, if you're wondering what is his role, Marc Martel Lends His Voice As Freddie For Bohemian Rhapsody.
1.- Marc Martel it's one of the reasons the movie is shit to me. His voice takes me out of the mood, it sounds terrible. 2.- It wouldn't have been so difficult. Firstly, he's not in any important scene. Secondly, Brian May has access to Freddie's vocal tracks of probably every song. They could have use any of those instead of Mark Martel. And they could have twitched them a little bit to add anything they wanted, like voice cracks. (Like they did with Keep Yourself Alive at the beginning of the movie)
Thanks for posting .. I don't know what the british Equity rules are, but really, SAG-AFTRA and british equity need to stop producers from inserting that Marni Nixon non-disclosure clause in contracts. transparency, guys.
@@GiorgosTube, NONE of Rami's voice was used in the movie. That was just said for publicity's sake. Rami sang into a dead microphone, just so the audience could see his neck muscles moving and know he wasn't just mouthing the words. That was first leaked by Rami's "movement coach," then later confirmed by comments from a couple of the top people on the sound crew for the movie.
U 100% sure? Rami did say that he had to actually sing and record it for bri and roger to hear on one of the Jimmy shows can't remember if it was falling or kimmel. ..I think it was kimmel idk
If John Deacon was to ever reunite with Brian and Roger for one final show (not likely, but we can all dream, at least), I’d want Marc to do it. He’s the only one that could get that close to Freddie. Not even Adam Lambert, with all due respect, can do that.
2:40 no actually in the MOVIE it’s freddie’s love aid vocals, but ON SET Marc replicated it so Rami could mimic the vocal cues and so he could just hear the vocals and not the crowd on the tape.
Also in very early screenings, and some foreign showings, they used Martel's vocals because they didn't have the remastered version of the Live Aid show done. That's why there's a weird cut/pause at the " life---ha- jus- begun," they had to make some adjustments so the lip syncing was correct.
The part where Freddie is at the piano playing and singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" and his voice cracks, that really is Freddie's voice. It was taken from an old recording while they were in the process of producing the song "Bohemian Rhapsody". It was kind of like one of the audio outtakes the band had stored away. Even the world's greatest vocalists sometimes have voice malfunctions every now and then.
An article from Sound on Sound supports your comment. This is an excerpt from the interview with the mix engineers. "In the end, the decision was made to work with the live recordings and improve them as much as possible. The only singing by the vocal double that was used are bits for which no recordings of Freddie exist, for example where he sings 'Happy Birthday' to himself at the piano. We are all very picky about technical quality, but you have to balance that against the emotional impact. You want the energy of the original performance. No-one will be sitting in the cinema thinking, 'Oh, my goodness, there's a tiny bit of distortion on the lead vocal.' You just go: 'This is exciting!' In fact, that little bit of distortion adds to the excitement. And also, that concert is so well-known, if you change anything in it, you're going to be nailed to the wall!"
Yes it's on one of the vocal tracks, I recognized it immediately...and yes I definitely knew the differences between Marc and Fred lol but it was passable and I'm glad they chose Marc
Rami sang only during the shooting so that the facial and neck movements would be realistic. Freddie and Marc are the only ones you hear on the sound track apart from a few bridging bars by Rami
There is a scene, after the minute 0:49, in wich one Freddie plays pianno and sings a part of Lazing on a Sunday afternoon, made in the film by Marc mertel and it's one of my favourite parts.
1:28 you are wrong, is Freddie's voices, if you look for some Bohemian Rhapsody vocal tracks (some not used to the final album mix) you can find that one (and many other about Freddie make some "mistake")
@@gcarap ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5lPbNcJcNWw.html at 9:23 Maybe they have mixed marc's voice with freddie but you can hear the voice crack in that video of borhap recording, just the same that was used in the movie
@@gcarap yeah but there is a video showing literally showing bloopers of making of the song bohemian rhapsody. Though it could be just Marc+Freddie=this scene I watched the video and it sounds exactly like the one in 1:27
In the movie Marc Martel sang every part of Freddie where they didn’t use tape of Freddie, he says he is under a really ironclad NDA and officially he can only say he was one of the singers of Freddie in Bohemian Raphsody....but he’s also not aware of any other singers
Bohemian Rhapsody piano part (verse) was Freddy but when when it switched to live it was Marc. Then the entire Live Aid concert was all Freddy even the entire instruments part was Queen, Brian shared Queen's Live Aid recording to the movie, even every acapella of the songs.
Even the directors and Marc himself said they had him and the actor sing and vocalize to sound like the actors a bit more but since Marc was so similar to Freddie , they wanted have someone who sounded just like Freddie so every part there was singing , Marc and the actor did it together .
The live aid performance recording was Freddie in the actual live aid. If you listen to both the film and the live aid performance they’re the exact same
You missed the part after the 'happy birthday to me' when he sings a bit of Lazing on a Sunday afternoon when he says "I come from London town I'm just an ordinary guy,Fridays I go painting in the Louvre"
The one where he chokes on BoRhap is Mercury’s voice from a studio take. That day his voice was cracking a lot and there are other parts of the song he misses the notes as well. Since there are over 70 hours of voice recordings from the studio sessions, I’m sure it wasn’t the only time that happened either. The live BoRhap is from Earl’s Court in 77. I really loved the way he sang “...and leave me to die”, so I did quite a bit of digging to find where that came from. They did a restoration on the audio so his voice was clearer. Here’s the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Po8_uxXhBuc.html
@@gcarap It's a mix of two different unused takes from "bohemian rhapsody" you can find the original audio on youtube. But I think they used marc for the "Ooos" because I can't find that anywhere.
@@sajanaryal6932 I disagree. It is an extraction filtered from Live Aid muting the audience. There's a reason why the movie won an Oscar for sound mixing ;)
I'am not. Marc sounds like crap. His voice is not even similar to Freddie's. And it only took me out of the mood constantly by hearing his hiena noises in the middle of the movie.
@@MrYaco123 I have never realized that there are such idiots as you - but of course for such an imbecile as you are I should have written "best sound editing" and "best sound mixing".
His voice cracking while singing bohrap is actually a vocal outtake from when freddie was recording bohrap and freddie singing live and in live aid is freddies voice
Yes, we (Queen fans) know that! It's been discussed and was all confirmed by Brian, Rami and the sound techs. The Freddie's isolated track is available on youtube for those interested but... try to reason with MM's fans..seems like they don't care!
1:28 this is Freddie. I found a video of outtakes from bohemian rhapsody and this was in it. This clips audio was actually mixed up audio from those outtakes. In iMovie I found the clips in the video and matched them up to this video clip and it was mixed up.
I argue in this way, if the Bohemiam Rapsody Film has come to take the Oscar for best sound editing it will be a sound there will be a reason. Marc Martel has done a lot but a lot more than some want us to believe. l love Marc
I know that this comment is late but i was busy. I love this vid beacuse I can see what voice is daje and what's real voice lol.... Love it as a really BIG FAN OF QUEEN FOR SO SO LONG 🥀🥀🥀...
The fans by the concert tickets. The fans by the CDs. The fans by the shirts. The fans have spoken we want Marc Martel as the new lead singer of Queen!
@@blueterran9636 You really want Brian and Roger to stop touring? I already knew that MM fans don't care about Queen. You'd rather watch a tribute band than rocklegends.
@@evaknauf6744 Roger almost doesn't play at the Queen concerts - he is too old and he always needs a support of another drummer. So now only May has left. Do you really call it Queen?
@@blueterran9636Obviously you haven't seen a Queen + Adam Lambert concert. I wouldn't call two hours of drumming and singing backing vocals "barely plays". He also sings the lead on two songs while drumming. Yep, that's Queen.
I think the point is that Marc Martel's singing, vocal impression of Freddie Mercury is perhaps 90% or better of being close to Freddie's voice. That's probably ten times better than anyone else could do, and for the movie it was exactly what they needed to fill all the vocal / singing gaps. Marc spent a few months in the Abby Road studio, and while there are several instances (as shown in this video) where it was obvious that they had to use Marc's vocals to recreate a vocal scene, there are other parts of movie, including Live Aid, that they had to mix Marc's vocals in to fill gaps, sound level drops, etc.
1) Rami didn't sing AT ALL. He sang into a dead microphone, purely so the camera would pick up his throat muscles move, so it didn't look like he was just mouthing the lyrics. This was revealed by his movement coach for the movie, and later confirmed by one of the sound engineers. The only reason it was ever claimed he sang in the movie was to help him get the Academy Award. I've actually heard Rami's singing voice. He truly "can't sing a lick," as they say in the American south. 2) Marc Martel's voice was in most, if not ALL, of the songs. The 30 year old, analog tape masters would not have been of acceptable quality for Dolby Atmos Digital Sound, so Marc's voice was blended with Freddie's, in what's called "vocal layering." You can see the tracks in this photo from the Live Aid scene mixing board, where Freddie's track is "LV-STEM LVAID DRY FREDDIE_01" and Marc's track is "LV-STEM LVAID_01," directly beneath it. i.imgur.com/Oqxw81z.jpg . That also explains why Marc had to spend MONTHS, recording at Abbey Road studios, for the movie. As an aside, almost all the promotional videos for Marc's tours include the announcers saying Marc was "the voice of Freddie Mercury" in the movie. Note that neither Queen nor 20th Century Fox has issued "cease and desist orders" to ANY of those advertising agencies, for making that claim. If they did, they would have to prove the statement is false, something they can't do. When asked about it, during interviews, Marc just smirks and says, "I can neither confirm nor deny..." which refers to his NDA.
People are saying that he Live Aid part is Freddie but I watched the part in the movie, in sync with the real Live Aid and it is ever so slightly different than Freddie's voice. This makes my think that it was mostly Freddie's voice but Marc's was put over it very quietly.
@@Xarulu Yes. someone else posted that on one of my other comments, I stand corrected. Fact that I had such difficult time telling the difference between Freddie's multitrack version and Marc's One Take version is a huge compliment to Marc though.
Brian May specifically stated that ALL of the singing in the film (INCLUDING Live Aid) IS Freddie... Except in segments like the ones noted here, where they were depicting a scene with some kind of "impromptu" singing bit in it. (Which is where Marc's singing was utilized to fill-in)
Marcella Cumberbatch I don’t know if Brian May thinks that people are deaf, but you can hear Martel quite clearly in many parts May did not mention. Also, i have the info on very good authority.
@@papabearM3 May I ask on what authority? I'm just curious. As far as I can tell, for live aid, Marc's voice was used to fill in gaps where Freddie moved away from the microphone. But there are plenty of other parts where they just use Marc's voice by itself.
The entirety of live aid is sung by mr Mercury. However I know in certain parts of the film where Marc did sing like the doin all right, and happy birthday, bits of Ramis voice were mixed in
Some of them sound like Freddie and others don’t... I know bohemian rhapsody at the piano is actually Freddie and I’m pretty sure the Live Aid scene in the movie is the actual audio from live aid. To me, the happy birthday and Keep yourself alive doesn’t sound much like Freddie, but the rest is pretty dang close. Marc is awesome 👌🏻
Okay, a lot of these are Freddie’s Vocals Earls Court is Freddie’s, Live aid is 100% Freddie’s and the bohemian rhapsody with the voice crack at the end was also Freddie’s, it was just an outtake
MrInferNO 290 Earls Court, yes. But go listen to the original. You will hear mic drop. Marc filled that gap in, as well as many other gaps and corrections. In the rest of the scenes mentioned by you, Freddie and Marc are mixed to a various degree.
It Would’ve Been 100% Way Much More Better If Marc Martel Should’ve Play The Lead Singer Main Character Named Freddy Mercury In Bohemian Rhapsody The Movie.
No he cant he sounds simular but not 1 to 1 perfect marc martel sings 3 octaves, hut errors freddy sang a verry rare 4 ovaves whit no error going extremely high like g and c
