Actress Angelina Jolie has opened up about her emotional journey while preparing for her role as opera legend Maria Callas in the upcoming biographical film Maria.
In a recent interview, the Oscar-winning actress revealed the challenges of learning to sing opera for the first time.
Jolie shared: “The first time, he said, ‘OK. Plant your feet’…He took me seriously as a singer, which was very moving to be already.”
Her director, Pablo Larrain, approached her as a serious artist.
Jolie explained: “He said, ‘Take a deep breath and then start to make sounds’ – I started crying. Because I think we hold so much in that we don’t really let out. We don’t let our full voice out.”
Jolie also spoke about the encouragement from her six children during the difficult process.
“I think I knew when I got better, because I think in the beginning it was more like they were proud of me for trying so hard,” she said.
Her kids, who range from 15 to 22 years old, were honest but supportive throughout.
