Marthino Lio Shows His Singing Ability In Glenn Fredly The Movie

JAKARTA - Marthino Lio shows his singing talent in the film Glenn Fredly The Movie. Playing the figure of the late Glenn Fredly singer, Martino explained that in the process of producing this film, there was a Voice Actor named Bung Heldy who had the ability to imitate Glenn Fredly's voice very well.

However, Martino still sings in order to show expression and breath so that it looks natural in its role.

"Do I still sing? Yes, so that I look at the veins, and take my breath. So, I only performed Bung Heldy while singing, but the sound that came in was Bung Heldy's voice," said Marthino when visiting Wisma ANTARA B in Cikini, Jakarta, Tuesday, March 26.

Despite using Bung Heldy's voice as a reference, Marthino still attends workshops or training to learn how to play guitar and piano in order to perfect his performance as Glenn Fredly.

Meanwhile, Marthino Lio not only plays Glenn Fredly in the film that tells the life journey of the Indonesian music legend, but also presents his skills in acting which displays the human side of Glenn Fredly.

"Maybe it's not just a star, but also an activist. He is someone who really cares about humanity and has a human spirit," he said.

Previously, Marthino admitted that he had met Glenn Fredly in 2005, where he witnessed a live appearance from Glenn on stage.

Although they did not know each other personally, unexpectedly, the two met again two months before Glenn Fredly died and had a chance to greet him.
