‘Blitz’: Saoirse Ronan on Training to Sing Onscreen and Performing ‘Winter Coat’ in Front of 300 Extras
"Blitz' star Saoirse Ronan talks about training to sing and perform "Winter Coat" in front of 300 extras.
McQueen and Ronan met over Zoom, but it wasn’t until the actress had a singing lesson and vocal coaching that she landed the role. She credits her vocal coach for making her “feel safe, calm and secure enough to be able to perform the piece in front of 300 extras.” Up until that point, even the crew hadn’t heard her sing. Adding to the day’s emotions, Ronan says many of the extras were young women who would have had grandmothers or great aunts or knew family members who played pivotal roles during the war.
