Voice Roles in The Prince of Egypt
While Val Kilmer was an integral part of bringing Moses to life, his contributions were primarily focused on the speaking aspects of the character. He provided the conversational voice for Moses throughout the film. Additionally, Kilmer also lent his voice to the uncredited role of God.
For the powerful musical numbers that Moses performs, a different vocal talent was utilized to ensure the songs had the required strength and emotion.
Here's a breakdown of Moses's voice roles:
