      what...? Marcs entire career is BUILT OFF OF sounding EXACTLY like Freddie Mercury. That's the whole reason he's where he is now lol. Just cause he says he "tries not to sound exactly" like freddy, he's very clearly doing an immitation AND CHANGING his speaking voice to sound even more like him lol. That's why he's never going to be anything but the queen guy, and personally even if I could sing as good as him and sound like freddy, I'm not sure I would want to. That's a fucking nail in your career that will keep you from being able to do ANYTHING else. You will always just be the queen imitator. I don't mean any of this as a knock on him. He's an incredibly talented singer. Maybe one of thee most talented singers I've ever seen. However, it's insane to say he's not deliberately altering his voice to sound as much like freddy as the record. Shit, Marc is even telling the story about how similar his voice is in this video. He even shifts his lower jaw forward to get the same ennunciation as freddy lol. So lets not pretend he's not trying to make his voice the same. That's the whole point of what he does.

      @@Southboundpachyderm you COMPLETELY lost me when you say he is changing his speaking voice. He is speaking in lower, gentler tones because he's preserving his voice for the concert ahead that night. At the time of this interview, he was on an arena tour with Christian music legends Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith (they do an annual Christmas music tour and Marc was the special guest this time). They also had a No. 1 song together. He releases Christmas music every year, and a single or two always chart on the AC Billboards, so he doesn't JUST do Queen.

      Noraly That’s because you were hearing Freddie’s voice.
      "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!" (Soundonsound)

    At first i thought Rami Malek was actually singing the songs on the film, but then someone said he wasn't, so then i assumed they must have used remastered archive recordings as they sounded so good.
    I only just realised this guy was the actual vocals on the movie. He sounds exactly the same as Freddy.
