Angelina Jolie revealed that she stopped singing after an ex criticized her voice.

She went to theater school before but that person affected her.

She tells Hollywood Reporter, "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. 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."

"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".

Then she tells that she had to take many lozenges because she was rehearsing whole nite and morning for the shooting of "Maria".

"Loung [Ung, the Cambodian American human rights activist who is the subject of First They Killed My Father] is one of my closest friends. My mother was very close to me. I lost her. I’ve had a few friends over the years not be there for my family in their hour of need. I have a couple of people that I trust. What did Maria Callas die with? Two trusted people."

Jolie tells about acting as famous opera singer Maria Callas, "I’ve relearned that word from Maria, I have a new relationship to it.
