The actresses did not use their voices to sing. Instead, Hanna-Barbera dubbed over their voices with archived songs performed by Kathleen Dougherty, Cherie Moor, and Patrice Holloway, who were the singing voices of Josie, Melody, and Valerie, respectively, in the 1970s Josie and the Pussycats animated series.[1]
