The film is directed by Trish Sie (Step Up All In).

Alana Da Fonseca (Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Perks of Being a Wallflower), serves as one of the movie's vocal arrangers/producers, along with Ed Boyer (The Sing Off) and Deke Sharon (International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella co-founder).

NBC's The Voice Top-12 Artists and the stars of Pitch Perfect 3 debuted the first-ever full-length music video in the history of The Voice during the November 21 episode, highlighting the signature styles of each vocalist.
