<p>Aretha Franklin has asked Halle Berry to reconsider playing her on the big screen.</p>
<p>The Oscar-winning Monster&#8217;s Ball actress has said she couldn&#8217;t play the Queen of Soul in a forthcoming biopic about her life because she can&#8217;t &#8220;carry a tune&#8221;.</p>
<p>But in a letter read by US talk show host Wendy Williams, Aretha is reported to have wrote: &#8220;Many actors have portrayed vocalists by lip-syncing to the artist&#8217;s original recordings.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added: &#8220;I would have liked Halle Berry to portray the older Aretha in the upcoming biopic of my life based on my memoir Aretha: From These Roots.&#8221;</p>
<p>Halle insisted her voice isn&#8217;t up to the challenge at the Golden Globes red carpet. </p>
<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t sing! If I could carry a tune, I&#8217;d consider it. Someone should tell Aretha that I can&#8217;t do her justice,&#8221; she told Ryan Seacrest.</p>
