Case Study: Maria achieves authentic Maria Callas vocal isolation with AudioShake

Bringing Maria Callas’ Voice to Life

The customer was the production team for the film "Maria," a biopic about opera singer Maria Callas. Their challenge was working with archival live recordings from the 1960s and 70s that required enhancement while maintaining the authenticity of Callas's original iconic voice. The filmmakers utilized AudioShake's stem separation technology to address this audio challenge.

AudioShake's solution isolated Maria Callas's vocals from the orchestral instruments in the original recordings. This gave the audio team greater control, allowing them to blend the isolated vocals with Angelina Jolie's performance and enhance the score. The result was a final mix that preserved the integrity of Callas's legendary voice, ensuring the film authentically sounded like her, a crucial achievement for the biopic. AudioShake's technology made this intricate process possible.
