Amanda Seyfried's Role in Les Misérables
Amanda Seyfried played Cosette in the 2012 film adaptation of Les Misérables. The movie is based on the musical by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, which itself adapts Victor Hugo's novel.
Did Amanda Seyfried Sing in Les Misérables?
Yes. Seyfried performed Cosette's songs live on set, including "Castle on a Cloud" and "One Day More." The film used live singing rather than lip-syncing to playback, a choice shared by most principal cast members.
Vocal Performance and Reception
Critics described Seyfried's voice as light and clear, fitting Cosette's youthful and innocent characterization. Her performance is often contrasted with the more dramatic vocals of other leads.
