ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Did you go into this competition thinking you had to disguise your voice?
Because so many viewers guessed it was you pretty quickly.
They also seemed to sense your shyness.
JORDYN WOODS:I guess I’m very distinctive.
So people were quick on it.
I was always super shy growing up, so I’m not too shy anymore now.
So I guess it’s appropriate to say that I was shy, but I had fun.
When did the producers first reach out to you?
He asked me, “What do you think of this?
Would you ever do it?”
It was just crazy.
How long were you studying with your vocal coach?
Well, I’ve known him for a long time.
We just really started working together again probably five years ago.
Are you going to sing?
You have a great voice, we need to start working."
So we started working together again.
Have you ever performed in front of a live audience?
Even back in grammar school?
Honestly, just the school plays that you have to do.
I didMacbethin elementary school, but I was never in theater or anything like that.
Wait, did you sayMacbeth?
I played one of the witches.
It was interesting, but it was the requirement in fifth grade.
We had to do it.
Did you have several costumes to choose from?
From the beginning everyone was pretty sold on the Kangaroo for me.
It had that kind of appeal of, is it a boy or is it a girl?
I think the mystery of the characters is really cool, so I wanted something that had people wondering.
And kangeroos are strong animals, they’re fighters.
It’s a lot like my personality although I don’t really like to fight.
So talk about your first performance of Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own.”
How did that feel?
What was going on in your stomach?
I mean, if I could look in myself, my hands were probably shaking.
My heart was racing, I had butterflies.
Who did you have sign the NDA?
The only people who knew were my family … my mom and my sister and my brothers.
I didn’t tell my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, my friends.
I just felt like it was better for it to be a mystery.
Did your friends think it was you?
A lot of people did reach out.
They would be like, “I’m so proud of you.”
I’m like, “What are you talking about?”
If I don’t say anything, now it looks suspicious.
I would say how tired I was because I was working the day before.
And they were like, “Oh, what are you working on?”
I’d say, “Oh, just an action pilot.
Little did they know I’m actually running around in a kangaroo costume.
So there is no action TV pilot on the side?
Honestly, not yet.
Jordyn, you could be the firstMasked Singercontestant to release a debut album!
Even after I got kicked off the show, the judges were saying the same thing.
“This is going to be life-changing for you.
I hope you’re ready and I hope you keep making music or you start making music.”
I don’t know what to expect.
The Masked Singerairs on Wednesdays on Fox.
