Actress Lily James went to extreme measures to make sure her voice was in
tip-top shape before filming for "Mamma Mia 2".
In the sequel to the
beloved 2008 film, which centers around the music of ABBA, James portrays a
young version of Donna (played by Meryl Streep), and sings along with her group
The Dynamos, reports people.com.
Just days before the film hits theaters
on Friday, James revealed that she's "struggled" with her voice a lot since
leaving drama school.
"I lose my voice a lot," she said. "I have issues —
it's really scary and heartbreaking," she said,
To prepare for her
singing parts in the film, the actress said she "didn't speak for a week before
we recorded." "I went on steroids and didn't talk".
"I watched Mamma Mia
over and over again to channel the essence of what makes Donna so unique and
brilliant and fearless and courageous," she added.
