Timothée Chalamet and Angelina Jolie undergo vocal coaching for musical biopics

Timothée Chalamet and Angelina Jolie are preparing for their musical biopics with extensive vocal coaching. Chalamet portrays Bob Dylan, while Jolie plays opera singer Maria Callas. Their coach, Eric Vetro, emphasizes a relaxed approach to help actors manage the intensity of training. Vetro's coaching varies based on the actor's experience. Jolie, with little singing background, trained for seven months, while Ariana Grande practiced almost daily for her role in Wicked. Vetro focuses on technique and the unique qualities of each singer. Vocal lessons include exercises that may seem silly but help actors overcome inhibitions. Homework assignments reinforce learning, and Vetro notes that the process is rewarding as actors gain confidence and improve their skills.
