- Angelina Jolie, a renowned American actress, has disclosed that she stopped singing due to her ex-boyfriend’s severe criticism of her voice.
- The actress, who initially believed she couldn’t sing due to her ex’s unkindness towards her, has since rediscovered her singing voice.
- In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, Jolie revealed that her ex-boyfriend’s criticism had a mental impact on her, and she had to adapt to their perspective as her reality.
Renowned American actress Angelina Jolie has disclosed that she ceased singing due to her former partner’s harsh critiques of her vocal abilities.
She reflected on how her ex-partner’s unkind remarks led her to believe she lacked singing talent; however, she has recently reconnected with her singing voice.
In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Jolie expressed that the criticism had a significant impact on her mental well-being, causing her to internalize her ex-boyfriend’s views as her own reality.
“It was an out-of-body experience because I don’t sing. I had somebody in my life who was not kind to me about singing. It was a relationship I was in. And so I just assumed I couldn’t really sing. I’d been to theater school, so it was weird that it even had an effect on me,” she said.
“I just kind of adapted to this person’s opinion. So it took me getting past a lot of things to start singing. And discovering also that I was a soprano.”
She added, “I thought I had a low voice my whole life. I was explaining [to the singing instructor] that my voice is deeper, and he said, ‘No, you’re actually a soprano.’ And probably something happened. Your voice changes when you go through different things in your life. So that was a shock. That was very strange.
