Naomi Ackie: The Lip-Sync Queen (or Not Quite)

QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.

The Magic of Technology (and a Lot of Hard Work)
Creating a movie where the lead actor doesn't sing all the songs is no small feat. It requires a delicate balance of lip-syncing, vocal coaching, and probably a sprinkle of magic fairy dust. Naomi underwent rigorous training to mimic Whitney's vocal style, and the result is pretty mind-blowing. It's like watching a masterclass in lip-syncing.
