- How did you get the role of Jasmine in Aladdin, back in 1992?I did an audition by Sony music, it was with several artist that where called at the same time, after Disney USA listen to my audition I was accepted.
Actually it was a little dificult because the melody is made for a soprano singer and I am a mezzo soprano, but with a little bit of technique I was able to solve it. It was done at the first try, in one take. |

Well I auditioned again and got the role! The song was again sung by Lea Salonga so I was called to dub her again. It took a little longer time than Jasmine, because the voice and emotions were hard to get together - I know several people, both men and women use the song as a mark in their life.
Until this day, "Mi Reflejo" ("Reflection") is the best song that I have ever sung in a dubbing. It's almost like an autobiography. I have listen to some international versions, and the ones that I have enjoyed are the French and Japanese versions, because they are similar to Lea Salonga's voice, the original. |
