OBSESSED!: Dissed by Meg Ryan, Liz Callaway Talks to Her Cat and Becomes a Better Singer
Ойын-сауық
www.playbill.com/video Liz Callaway started her Broadway career in the Sondheim classic "Merrily We Roll Along." Despite this pedigree, it appears that she has taken some odd and alternative approaches to her music over the years - she claims that her singing voice has improved by talking to her cat and that her signature ending to a "Baby" tune was the result of a cold.

SHE WAS IN SO MANY movies, you have noo idea. She did Swan Princess, Anastasia, Lion King II, the two sequels of aladdin, little toaster, chorus work for pocahontas, beauty and the beast, I mean, endless list. But yes, Anastasia is her most famous work.

So far...
I wish she had done the speaking part for Anastasia as well, her voice is just so pretty. I would listen to Liz reading the phonebook.

I know right? She's got the most gorgeous speaking voice I've heard, much nicer than Linda Larkin or Meg Ryan. She needs to fully voice a new Disney princess, she still sounds so youthful!

I feel the same about Lea Salonga not doing the speaking voice for Mulan.. apparently she was considered for it but she couldn’t affect a deep sounding man-like voice ...

And she wouldn't have been as insipid as Ryan.
6:27 I love how she is so professional and jumps right into character, perfect pitch, eyes lit up, and a beautiful tone... nailed it

Love her humor about what is really an incredible talent/career/prestige. She could be Patti, but she’s the anti-diva
When Liz said “Well you deserve it” she gave me a disney princess vibe
Wow, that was so rude of Meg Ryan! If I were Meg, I'd be honored to meet Liz, and thankful for her outstanding singing. Anyway, Liz's work is still remembered and beloved all around the world; it's her heartfelt singing that makes Anastasia a classic that still amazes and moves people today.
She still has that gorgeous tone!
"only one movie" LIES LIES!!!!!!! She was also the singing voice for Odette in Swan Princess!! How'd they forget that one??!! Lol!

I'm always amazed that everyone doesn't already know who the voice actors/singing voices for animated films are. Especially when they're amazing singers like Liz Callaway and Lea Salonga.
her speaking voice is so nice to listen to!
Ahhh the clarity in her voice... in awwww!!!!
Amazing voice, amazing woman!! I recently had Liz Callaway out at my school for a performance/workshop and she blew us all away, not just musically, but also her humor, patience, and kindness. Brava Liz!!
She was a chorus singer in Beauty in the Beast, and she was listed in her sheet music as a singing napkin ring 😂.

Wow. Incredible. Still that bright, gorgeous tone that is so pleasant and emotional. I do not hear age in her voice at all.
This VIDEO IS too short, it should have gone ON AND ON AND ON AND ON :D
Liz is so clearly such a gorgeous person.... as lovely as her voice.
Lovely job on the song. I saw her in Miss Saigon in 1991 as Ellen and her voice was so impressive. The alternate Kam Cheng was playing Kim that night and did an outstanding job. So, I never realized how Liz's voice was similar to Lea Salonga's until I saw the two of them on "Evening at Pops" I think. Also, Liz picked up the singing voice for Princess Jasmine for "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" & for "Aladdin and the Return of Jafar" where Lea only sang for the first "Aladdin".
Her voice is magic! It's no wonder she was Anastasia! I loved that movie's music. She's amazing.
Makes me cry every time. Thanks, Liz My mother just passed May 31, 2023 and this has always been my Mothers song for me. I am so happy I have a cry to go too on youtube Thank you both
That´s so rude from Meg Ryan. What´s the point??? Everyone was gonna know about it sooner or later. Liz deserved a great recognition for her job
Liz is such an amazing singer! I love her singing Once Upon a December. My mom used to sing me that song.
One of the songs of my childhood...back in the '80s my parents' friend from New York would send us cassette tapes of songs from different Broadway cast recordings but they would be from different musicals. I grew up listening, loving, and singing this song and not knowing until many, many years later that she's pregnant and talking about her child. I love this song.
Wow, her voice is still perfection. Fantastic.
Her performance of What More Do I Need? was my obsession for like a year.
I love how Liz is so charming and kind and humble even though her name is rather.. like you know huge in the world of Broadway and disney. she's amazing. meg ryan is she like doing anything nowadays? I never knew who she was really.. she seems really witchy. lol
She is EVERYTHING! I just love her so much. I could listen to her sing all day and night.
She also sang for Jasmine in the Return of Jafar.
She still got it!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!!!
omg her voice is sooo beautiful!!
Liz should also be getting speaking parts, her voice is so lovely. And Meg Ryan was pretty big in the 90s, hence full of herself. Her career is over anyway, while Liz still sings and her voice is as brilliant as ever. She made Anastasia with her iconic performances in the movie.
I haven’t liked Meg Ryan ever since I found this out

For me, it was when she cheated on her husband and abandoned her child to "find herself" with Russell Crowe. But if she hadn't done that, I definitely wouldn't have liked her after watching this. :)
I keep watching this over & over. I love listening to her sing the song from Baby.
Liz Callaway is amazing. One of the great, most unique voices ever.
i just realized, by what i read - that she also sang for jasmine in the sequels, that lea salonga and liz sound similar

I always knew she was the magical gorgeous singing voice on Anastasia!! 🎉
She forgot that she was also the voice of Oddete form SWAN LAKE
I hope that doesn't sound shady... But I never knew she was so pretty. Those eyes... And that gourgeous tone... Oh my... Liz, you should stop wherever you're doing cause it's confusing my sexuality, ok? Just quit it! LOL

You're so right, Liz is simply gorgeous and mesmerizing, just like her voice and personality, all around a beautiful person. Liz and Paige O'Hara are my favorite ladies behind animated princesses, they're such angels.
CALLAWAY :Still gorgeous in tone . Really beautiful belt and head mix lovely !!
SHE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE SINGERSSS EVER
was smiling all throughout the video
I became aware of her from the concert version of Follies 1985(?)
wait...she also did odette in the swan princess, and Kiara in lionking 2!
A-Mazing. Blows me away.
oh my god! I WISH I had her breath support! Lover her to bits!
Beautiful voice. I didn´t know her..very nice!

I think she's a light-lyric. She has resonance because of her impeccable technique like Mariah and stuff. Voice is too girly and light to be a full-lyric soprano. She's amazing though.

Wow! This is interesting read for the many of us not learned in music education. Please patronize me by labeling the voice of Lea Salonga just so I can learn a bit more from what you're talking about here.
@robertarthur3889

@@nyenye9393 There is "head register (a falsetto sound is a pure head register sound), there is "chest register" (which is akin to a speaking voice that naturally originates in the chest) and the mix happens in the middle of the voice. You can have a head dominant mix or a chest dominant mix. Lea Salonga I would say sings in a head/mix voice.
Why on earth would Meg do this when so clearly it's not her singing!
