Natalia Oreiro was invited to the 3rd season of podcast “Las Pibas Dicen” where they talked about fears.
“However, I started to have a lot of fears when I become a mother. I believe that in this kind of sense that nothing can happen to me because I have to live for someone else, because he needs me. When he was newborn, to feed him, to protect him and then I realized that there was nothing more important to the world than his well-being, his health and of course, the panic of something can happen to him. And I become the mother of Pink Floyd, right? That overprotected thing, now who is 12 years old, I am working to let it go because I am also very controlling, in general, and it fears me also this. I fear to let it go.”
She talked about the fears of her parents and due to that fears her sister Adriana was not allowed to do things she want to. “At my 12, I escaped to go at club. At 15, I went to see Ramones in Chile.” Natalia explained that her plans were not included to become a singer. “I was not prepared to become a singer. Let’s say to take it at professional level, I was prepared to become an actress and out of nowhere I did a movie where I sang and released a track. Voila in Gran Rex. I have no tools and I felt panic. I was at the bathroom resting the legs on the toilet saying “a little hole to run away” because I couldn’t handle so much pressure and not only I went down hanging from the roof because I was doing fabric, so I come down in a splits hanging for 15 minutes till everybody is done coming.”
When one presenter was talking about the panic she had going on stage, she commented: “It happens to me when I sing. My only technique I have to lower down my heartbeat is 5 minutes before I go up is to sing. To do visual contact with the person. I seek a person inside the audience and only the look and the smile calm me down”. To a question from a presenter was mention her fear of driving a car: “I don’t drive by fear. I am afraid of killing someone. I did 5 times the course or 4 more but i did not go to give exams”.
