Angelina was honest about her insecurities when singing opera.
‘I was terrified. But I think it’s a gift as an artist, and I know you felt it in your film too, when you’re just not sure you can do it,” she said.
‘You’re not sure you’re good enough. The task, the challenge, is posed and you feel small. It’s a gift for an artist…
‘People continue to cite me because I made it, not because of the mistake; I admitted that it was like therapy. But it really is.
‘Because I didn’t realize that practicing it and learning it is one thing, but it was finding my voice and letting it out that was really difficult for me.
‘And I was very excited about it. He didn’t know how much he had lost his voice.
‘Maybe when I lost my mother, maybe when someone hurt me, whatever it was, the different things that made him smaller and locked him away;
The Mr and Mrs Smith actress said in a previous interview that someone she was in a relationship with told her she had no say.
“So finding him and letting him out was very emotional, and it’s a feeling I wish everyone had. I wish everyone could know what you feel when you sing with your beautiful voice and know what can come out of your body.
‘And it’s not just about what you can do for an audience or how to tell a story, but can you make that sound. Maria said something… she said she doesn’t like listening to records because they’re perfect.

“I can’t not talk about some of the joy of this movie that you’ve made,” Brad Pitt’s ex said.
‘I remember taking my daughter, some of my sons, but my only daughter, who, when she saw Defying Gravity, I remember that moment. Because as a mother we want art to influence.
“I felt that feeling of ‘Oh, she needs this; “she feels this desire to know that there are infinite possibilities and something inside her that she hasn’t discovered yet.”
‘That’s how I felt at the time. I loved seeing it live. “I loved it, I loved it when the end of this movie came.”
Erivo revealed what it was like to sing live for Wicked.
‘On Broadway, you have to perform in the back of the house. You want them to see everything, you want them to be able to read the emotions, so you have to send it. When we were on camera, Jon Chu, our director, pulled us out of the way. There were no footprints; we just agreed to sing live on the set… When we were doing a song like ‘For Good’ (for ‘Wicked: Part Two’), there was silence in my ears and he was saying, ‘You start and The pianist will come in.’
‘We could even include all the pauses in the voice; if it becomes a whisper, then it becomes a whisper, and then you can build from there. “That was really the joy of being able to do all that on set, because you could really connect in the moment, change your mind in the moment.”
María has already been released in movie theaters. It arrived on Netflix on December 11.

Erivo on Defying Gravity: ‘There was a big responsibility, because it’s a very well-known song.
‘And people know it; people love it. I really meant it. The physical work was hard, because I’m in a harness: I’m flying and singing at the same time; There are many things happening. That was new for me, discovering how my body, my brain, and my voice would come together to function as one. I felt really proud to be able to discover that physical and practical side. But I think to get to a point where I could control the words, I really thought about the whole journey to get to that moment.
“Not only in the realization of this particular project, but in the journey I have taken to get here: being in theater school at 20, improving myself, finishing at 23, not getting a job and not being seen or feeling really”. accepted, feeling very strange, very different. And having to figure out how to make it on my own, because this business is hard, and this business is really hard when you’re a black girl who sings.’
