Jennifer Lawrence might take every opportunity to downplay her vocal talents — despite the fact that we hear her sing in both Mockingjay — Part 1 and Mockingjay — Part 2 — but some old home-video footage proves she had some surprisingly early experience singing for an acting role. In a CNN segment, Jennifer's hometown drama coach remembered the "precocious" and "unflappable" middle-schooler and shared a look at her local theater debut at age 14. Jennifer played Desdemona in a stage production of Othello and even performed a mournful ballad during the play. Give it a watch and tell us what you think of her voice, then and now!
