who sings the songs in the movie selena
Selena (film) Principal photography began September 1996, in San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Poteet, Houston, and Lake Jackson, Texas. Nava used locals as extras for the film.[21] Selena's singing voice was dubbed into the film, with Lopez lip-syncing the songs.[16] During the opening of the Selena Etc. boutique scene, Suzette believed Lopez was wearing Selena's clothing to her disbelief that the costume crew members had replicated the suit the singer wore.[6] Costume designer Elisabetta Beraldo remade Selena's dress she wore when she won the Grammy Award in 1994.[6] Suzette said how she was overcome with emotions after viewing Lopez in the dress. During the elopement scene, Perez explained how he had reminiscent the event as if he was "transported back in time" and remembered how he had a do not disturb sign and hearing a knock on his door. He found the scene to be one of the hardest to watch after reliving the moment when Selena had told him that eloping was the only resource they had and that they would never have a wedding she dreamed about.[6] Perez refused to visit the set and explained that he did not want to partake in the film's process.[6] Seda convinced him to visit for the scene where his character auditions for the role as the new guitarist for the band.[6] After researching on how to perform a riff on a guitar and having lessons from Perez, Seda felt that the scene would not come off as authentic since he could not replicate Perez' guitar riffs.[6] He tricked Perez into visiting the scene so that he could play the riff and have the director shoot a close up of his hands for the film.[6] Seda said how after the film was released that people believed he could play the guitar, he said he tell fans how Perez was actually the one performing the riff in the scene.[6]
