Angelina Jolie, a well-known American actress, has revealed why she has decided not to pursue a singing career.
Angelina Jolie recently explained her decision in an interview with Hollywood Reporter, saying that it stemmed from the severe criticism she had received from an ex-boyfriend, which made her doubt her vocal abilities.
She recounted that, despite having attended theater school, she had assumed she was incapable of singing because of her ex-boyfriend’s disparaging remarks.
“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.
