Are they really singing in pitch perfect 2?
Moreover, do the pitch perfect cast actually sing?
I believe that the cast did in fact sing all of the songs in the movie. Some are even professional a capella singers. Everyone in the films who plays a singing part had to sing a full song for their audition. Any time protagonist Beca, played by Anna Kendrick, was singing alone, she was singing live on set.
Beside above, are they really singing acapella in Pitch Perfect?
Pitch Perfect is all about a cappella singing, which means there are absolutely no instruments. Every 'guitar' part, 'drum' part, beatbox, and 'sample' is actually sung by a human being. We ended up recording 95% of all the a cappella vocals that you hear in the final, in that crazy building.”
Brittany Snow sings up a storm in Pitch Perfect 3. When Brittany Snow landed a part in the 2012 musical comedy Pitch Perfect, she thought it was the last time she'd be immersed in the Barden Bellas' competitive world of a capella. “After the first one, it was kind of a wild ride,” Snow said by phone from Sydney.
