Can Emma Stone Sing?

Emma Stone has proven to be one of those Hollywood A-listers who truly fit the label. Since getting started around the early 00s, Emma has consistently shown audiences what she can do as a performer–and boy, she can do a lot and she does them well. Now fans wonder, is singing included in her list of talents?

While Emma Stone is no professional singer or recording artist, the actress can definitely sing. She showcased her vocal prowess in La La Land, the movie that brought in her first Oscar award.

The Oscars may not be the Tonys, but winning the Best Actress trophy for her role in La La Land is plausible proof that Emma Stone is also talented in singing. Let’s explore the multi-awarded actress’ background in that area of the performing arts.

Did Emma Stone get singing lessons?

Emma Stone had always wanted to be a great entertainer before she even learned how to properly talk. At an early age, her parents signed her up in Valley Youth Theatre (in her hometown, Arizona), where she had her first acting experience. She played Otter in the group’s production of The Wind in the Willows. 

Broadway

Thanks to her training in theatre, Emma had the right foundation to help her make a big leap–into Broadway, no less. From November 2014 to February 2015, Emma Stone took over Michelle Williams to portray Sally Bowles in Cabaret. 

While her singing was criticized in a Variety review, it caught the attention of Damien Chazelle, who was impressed by her performance. So impressed was the Whiplash director that he cast her as the female lead in his then-upcoming project, La La Land.
