Idina Menzel was born on May 30, 1971 in New York City, New York as Idina Kim Mentzel. She's an American actress, singer & songwriter. She's best known as Maureen in Rent, Elphaba in Wicked & the voice of Elsa in.
Idina Menzel provided both the singing and speaking voice of Elsa. Eva Bella and Spencer Ganus were cast to portray Elsa as a young child and as a teenager, respectively. Actress and singer Megan Mullally was originally cast to voice an adult Elsa, but was replaced by Idina Menzel.
The song was performed in its original show-tune version in the film by American actress and singer Idina Menzel in her vocal role as Queen Elsa. It was later released as a single, being promoted to adult contemporary radio by Walt Disney Records in January 2014.
The singing voice of the character Anna in the movie Frozen is provided by actor Kristen Bell. Well the singer in English is Kristen Bell, and she also does the speaking voice.
Idina Menzel said she told herself to 'sing, b----' after John Travolta messed her name up at the Oscars. At the 2014 Oscars, John Travolta mistakenly introduced Idina Menzel as "Adele Dazeem." Menzel then had to perform "Let it Go" from "Frozen," in which she played Elsa.

Why is Idina Menzel called Adele Dazeem?
But among the singer and actress' many alter egos was a special mention for the one and only Adele Dazeem, a nod to John Travolta's famous blunder from the 2014 Academy Awards when he appeared on stage to introduce Menzel and messed up her name.
When did John Travolta mispronounce Idina Menzel's name?
When it comes to butchering people's names, John Travolta made one hell of a doozy. The Pulp Fiction actor mispronounced Idina Menzel's name at the 2014 Oscars - but the Frozen star was able to get even with him the following year.
Evan Rachel Wood voices Iduna (Elsa and Anna's mother), and Delaney Rose Stein voices the young Iduna. Alfred Molina voices Agnarr (Elsa and Anna's father), and Jackson Stein voices young Agnarr.

This iconic quote marks Elsa's first step into accepting who she truly is, with all her virtues and flaws. At this point in the journey, Elsa has still got some things wrong — like believing she should be isolated.
All Of Frozen's Main Cast Members Sing Their Songs
Menzel, Groff, Gad, and Fontana each received critical acclaim for their musical performances prior to being cast in Frozen, so it is no surprise they sang their own songs.
Jennifer Lee, CCO of Walt Disney Animation Studios and co-director of both Frozen and Frozen 2, confirmed on Twitter that, for the main part of Frozen's story, Anna is 18 and Elsa is 21.
In Frozen 2, Elsa's voice changed slightly to reflect the character's growth and evolution since the events of the first film. Idina Menzel worked closely with the filmmakers and the voice over agency to ensure that her performance captured the changes in Elsa's character.
Elsa is a young woman in Frozen and the voice actress wasn't sure if the character was really going to sound like a young woman coming into her own the way she had previously sung “Let it Go.” So she decided to sing the song higher in order to give her voice a more youthful feel.
Throughout the movie, Elsa develops a romantic interest in Isabella. She later comes to realize that Isabella loves her back. In the end, they get married. In their honor, Anna gives up the throne for Elsa and her new wife.
Say the names quickly in sequence to hear the similarity. According to Jennifer Lee, Anna is 18 years old in the film, while both Elsa and Kristoff are 21 years old and Hans is 23 years old.
Anna's parents rush her to the sacred realm, where discussions with the trolls reveal that Elsa was born with her powers/ depigmentation and deafness, rather than them being due to illness or accident. Grand Pabbie troll heals Anna but removes her memories of Elsa's magic.
