Inexplicable Laura Marling performance

I just stumbled across this Laura Marling "in session" video on the superb Wongie's Music World blog and I can't stop watching it... Because I have to know what the trick is.

How does Marling produce such a resonant, bewitching, pure vocal with so little effort? Her mouth barely opens wide enough to stuff in a Jaffa Cake. More disturbingly, I can't see a single frame where she appears to breathe in.

The only logical explanation is that Keith Harris is hidden in the corner, throwing his voice.
