In terms of the series, Claflin spoke about how the cast had to attend a rock camp to learn their instruments and they had to perform in front of Prime Video execs before getting the OK to film the series. “It was a strange experience,” he says to Entertainment Weekly. “It was the first time we were all in costume together, and we were on a stage. And at the last minute, they were like, ‘Oh, can you also introduce each song and do some banter between each number?’” Daisy Jones & the Six / Instagram Keough adds that being able to do that concert helped the castmates grow into what felt like a real band. “We got to a place where we were like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe we can get through the whole set and not mess anything up,’” she said. “There was a moment in the beginning where we were thinking we were going to have to fake a lot of these things. The fact that we were able to do it for real — we impressed ourselves.” In a separate interview, Keough also spoke about the process of getting the role of Daisy and how nervous she was at first. “I just knew I was gonna be Daisy... It was very weird," she says. “I was really like, I don’t know if I can do it. I think there were discussions early on of like, ‘Can they sing it? What do we do if they can’t?’” Daisy Jones & the Six / Instagram Claflin also discloses how they had been talking about using vocal doubles at one point, but it instead gave them the motivation necessary to do it on their own. “I remember having that conversation. Like, ‘We’ll get someone else and maybe have a stunt vocalist,’ is what they said,” he continues. “I was like, what does that mean? That was the kick in the ass I needed.”
