	Actors - Little Voice

Little Voice is a 1998 British film directed by Mark Herman, and adapted from Jim Cartwright's play The Rise and Fall of Little Voice.

It stars Jane Horrocks as a shy girl who discovers she has a remarkable talent for recreating the voices of famous singers, including Judy Garland and Shirley Bassey. The character played by Horrocks is universally referred to as "Little Voice" or "LV", however her real name is Laura. She is subsequently taken on and promoted by sleazy showbusiness agent, played by Michael Caine.

Caine won a Golden Globe Award for his performance, and Brenda Blethyn was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance as Little Voice`s domineering mother. However, many critics expressed surprise that Horrocks was not nominated, particularly as the film showcased her uncanny vocal impressions.

The movie was filmed on location in the seaside town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire. It also features Ewan McGregor as a pigeon fancier who is interested in Little Voice, and Jim Broadbent as a nightclub owner.
