Moreover, she also talked about going through intense training in order to replicate her admiration. 

In conversation with the podcast host, The Divergent actress stated, “It’s been really exciting. It’s been over six years of putting it together.

Janis is someone I’ve always deeply respected and admired, like the spirit in her, the soul she was on this planet and kind of the light that she was on this planet.”

Elaborating about her experience working with Perry, Woodley claimed, “I’m not like a trained singer, but I feel and I can sing in my shower. It turns out I can also sing outside of the shower, which I didn’t really know until I started working on the Janis project and working with Linda Perry, who’s an amazing music producer and musician herself.”

The actress continued to say, “She’s really encouraged me and helped me find my center and my own voice, which is incredible.”

While the details of Shailene Woodley’s upcoming biopic will be rolled out soon, on the work front, the actress starred in Three Women, and might return for season 3 of Big Little Lies.
