“She calls it worming,” Cynthia said. “So our voices are very different, as you know, but for some reason when we sing, they sound like one voice. We discovered it when we were rehearsing and singing together. We work really well together, our voices…”

“It’s amazing. We still, it astounds us. I love listening to her, she loves listening to me. I love singing with her. We love singing together because when we can find the sound together, it’s really lovely.”

She also dished that she does her own stunts and sings live in the movie!

“To play this role has been one of the roles of a lifetime, to be honest,” Cynthia shared on the TODAY Show. “And it’s very exciting and fun, and wild, and heart wrenching. I’m doing my own stunts and singing live.”
