Singing is more lenient than acting in some ways. I feel like when I have emotional scenes, where I’m really crying and feeling what I’m already feeling and being present in That, I feel relaxed and comfortable because crying really is a facilitator. Singing the same way. Just like expressing feelings through music and melody is so magical. When you feel like you’ve gotten there, your voice is where it should be and your voice is as powerful as it should be And it wasn’t working [‘Les Misérables’]. “
