LoglineAn accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the USS Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike.

Are those actually all of the actors singing? I thought they just got separate singers

I think they are real cuz they included Chapel’s song and the amount of autotune they added probably wouldn’t have happened if they hired a professional singer. Still liked the song, it was just very noticeable.

They also didn’t have a great deal of time to record. They did their studio work over weekends.

For those who weren’t musical theatre performers (Gooding, Chong, Romjin) earlier in their careers, getting a clean run through or even portion of a song would be a difficult challenge. Just the stress of getting it done in a single day or two of sessions would be likely to put them out of tune.

Gooding and Chong came from musical theatre though.

Oh no. Those are the actual actors singing.

Anybody who went to acting school has some background in music and dance. Obviously not their best talent or else they'd be a singer instead of an actor. I often consider that most people on television can sing and absolutely knows how to dance, we just never see them do it.

Sweeny Todd is a good example of this. You know almost the entire cast from something else and had no idea they were capable of doing music all this time. But, a classically trained actor has definitely been in a musical before, we just never knew about it. Alan Rickman wasn't exactly a vocalist, but he could keep up with one.
