Mary Costa, the original singing and speaking voice of the Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. Mary had reportedly been so excited by the prospect of meeting Walt Disney, it had been her initial trigger to continue with the auditioning process. “I knew I wouldn’t get the part, but I wanted to meet Walt Disney.” Recalling the first day she met: “I told him I was excited about recording, and he asked me if I was going to use a lot of colors. I laughed, because I didn’t know what he meant. He said, ‘Everyone has a unique set of colors, like a kaleidoscope. I want you to go to the studio and visit Marc Davis, look at his storyboards, and ask questions. You must know Briar Rose so well that you actually become the character. How does she feel about her godmothers, and living in the forest? How does she feel about the many shades of green in the trees and shrubs, and the different colors of the flowers? Does she laugh and cry with her godmothers? I want you to let all of those vibrant colors respond to each thought that comes from your mind and heart. Memorize your lines and when you get in front of the microphone I want you to become Briar Rose. Let all of those rich colors in your mind drop to your vocal palette, and paint with your voice.”
