Like when there's a singer dubbed over them. Lots of the Disney animated musicals used different VAs for the songs than the regular dialogue. Zac Efron didn't sing in HSM1. Rebecca Ferguson didn't sing in The Greatest Showman.

Why not just get someone who can sing and perform the whole role?

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.

Not in HSM1 era. He was a nobody at the time. They could have easily found a hunk that could actually sing.

Yeah, he worked on it and did his own singing in the sequels, which i appreciate. And in Hairspray and Greatest Showman. But he must not have been very good when he was initially cast or they wouldn't have brought in a pro to dub over him.
