#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Did Audrey Hepburn sing her own songs in Funny Face?

What a correct answer would look like:

Yes, Audrey Hepburn sang her own songs in the 1957 musical Funny Face. This was her first musical role, and she performed the vocals for "How Long Has This Been Going On?" (solo), "'S Wonderful" (duet with Fred Astaire), "On How to Be Lovely" (duet with Kay Thompson), and the ensemble number "Bonjour, Paris!". Her performance in this film directly influenced Henry Mancini when he composed "Moon River" for her in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961); Mancini specifically tailored the song to the vocal range she displayed in Funny Face. In contrast, her singing voice in the 1964 musical My Fair Lady was largely dubbed by Marni Nixon.

What the LLM said (errors and omissions annotated)

Yes, Audrey Hepburn did sing her own songs in the 1957 musical film Funny Face, which was her first musical role.

This is a notable detail because her singing voice in her later, and arguably more famous, musical, My Fair Lady (1964), was largely dubbed by Marni Nixon.

The specific songs and types of performances she sang in Funny Face include:

Solo Performance: "How Long Has This Been Going On?"
Duet with Fred Astaire: "'S Wonderful"
Duet with Kay Thompson: "On How to Be Lovely"
Ensemble Performance: "Bonjour, Paris!"

While critics have noted her voice was not on par with a professional singer, it was considered charming and fit the film's tone. Her successful singing performance in Funny Face was also a factor that influenced the musical style of "Moon River" in her later film, Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), a song she also sang herself.
