00:00Amazing movie by the way. You were just incredible. Thank you. So good. Was it
00:05intimidating to sing so many songs by so many incredible artists? Yes it was
00:09because these are you know pop anthems and they're such iconic songs that
00:14everybody knows the lyrics to everybody knows what they sound like and what
00:17they're supposed to sound like to them so for me I was like I don't want to
00:21ruin that and dancing on my own is my sister's favorite song so I had to
00:26couldn't let her down I had to do her justice and for that but also at the
00:31same time I mean Violet is a character and she would be singing these covers of
00:37these songs for the you know for auditions and and for these teen spirit you know
00:42American Idol type shows X Factor type shows it has to sound like Violet it
00:47can't sound just like a reproduction. What was it like preparing for a singing role
00:51versus just straight acting? Yeah well it was three months three months before we
00:56started filming it was every day I would get Morris DeVries was the music
00:59supervisor I would go to his house every single day and we knew all the songs
01:02that were in the film except for the very Don't Kill My Vibe the very last song
01:06they waited very late in the game to find that song so that was the most
01:10important song but I knew that one the least out of the group but I mostly I
01:17spent every day singing the songs with him and doing crazy vocal warm-ups and
01:22and getting my voice to a place that I could you know the stamina was not going
01:28to to break me down because that's when you do those live performances you're
01:33having to sing over and over again and and not get hoarse and make sure you're
01:38breathing properly and it was yeah it was very challenging but it was it was a
01:43very I felt very proud after with the results you know. Do you see yourself having a
01:49musical career? Oh my gosh maybe honestly this opened a door that I would
01:55not say no to that it was I really I absolutely I've always loved singing and
01:58I've always wanted to do a musical so it would be very cool. Which musical
02:05artists do you admire or think are on the rise? Oh on the right you know Mitski do
02:10you know Mitski she's really really great I don't know she's she is kind of risen I
02:15think people but she is she's really I do love her I love Ariana Grande's new
02:21album I mean she's def she's she's definitely risen she's at the top. And
02:25last question why do you think people remain so captivated by shows like The
02:29Voice and American Idol? And I am I watch those shows I always have I would be the
02:34kid that would call in and like vote for the contestants on American Idol and on the
02:38show and be like put on hold and all of that so I understand. I think I think that
02:46there's something everyone loves that story which is this kind of fairy tale
02:50journey of someone coming from a small town or completely unknown completely
02:56fresh and very like an authentic person achieving their goal I think it's a story
03:02that will never will always see it on TV you always see it in films and movies and
03:06it's it's very cinematic
