The "Lost in Translation" actress was so determined to incorporate unique sounds on her debut LP "Anywhere I Lay My Head" she even taped the call of the nocturnal birds.

She said: "I spent days trying to record owls. I would hear them and then run outside to find them."

"My producer David Sitek told me to keep a mini-recorder with me all the time and record sounds I liked."

"That was the most elusive thing we recorded - the owls. We recorded all kinds of stuff - even rainstorms."

Scarlett couldn't care less about the criticism her album has received, because she is confident she has a good voice.

She added to NME magazine: "I think a lot of actors have good voices. We are mimics."

"If you were to hum something now, I'd probably be able to sing it right back to you. I'm a pretty decent singer."
