The actress spent six months refining her physicality and vocally training to sing in the film, a process she described as the “therapy I didn’t realise I needed”. “I had no idea how much I was holding in and not letting out,” she continued before adding, “and so the challenge wasn’t the technical, it was an emotional experience to find my voice, to be in my body, to express.” “You have to give every single part of yourself,” she noted. Jolie also shared the story of her first time singing as Callas. “I remember being so nervous,” she revealed. “My sons were there and they helped to block the door [so] that nobody else was coming in, and I was shaky.”
