Penelope Cruz locked herself before singing debut

Penelope CruzPenelope Cruz has revealed she was so paranoid about protecting her voice before her musical debut in “Nine” that she became a recluse.

The Spanish actress felt the pressure of recording her vocals at London’s Abbey Road Studios and decided to lock herself away in her hotel room and speak to no one as she prepared to hit the high notes, reports buzzhollywood.com.

“I thought it would be more responsible and professional if I didn’t talk to anybody before I had to record. So I was laying on my bed like Dracula, looking at the ceiling and waiting to go to the studio,” she said.

“I got so tense from trying to protect myself too much… The second day I was much more relaxed,” she added.
