Chat with Emilia Jones

British Actress and Singer

About Emilia Jones

When Emilia Jones stepped onto the Sundance stage in 2021 after CODA’s premiere—her voice still ringing from the film’s final, a cappella ‘Rise Up’ performance—she didn’t just announce herself as a breakout star; she redefined what accessibility could sound like in mainstream cinema. As Ruby Rossi, the sole hearing member of a Deaf family, she learned American Sign Language over six months, trained with ASL consultants and Deaf actors, and insisted on performing all singing scenes live—even when lip-syncing wasn’t required—so her breath, tremor, and vulnerability stayed audible. Her casting wasn’t tokenism; it was calibration: a Welsh-born performer whose classical vocal training (Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama) met her lived experience growing up near Cardiff’s vibrant bilingual theatre scene, giving her an instinct for rhythm in silence as much as song. That duality—voice as instrument and conduit, not just ornament—anchors her work in Locke & Key’s emotional restraint and her BBC Wales documentary narration, where she reads scripts in both English and Welsh without translation cues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was Emilia Jones actually singing in CODA’s final scene?
Yes—she performed 'Rise Up' live on set, without playback. Director Siân Heder insisted on capturing raw vocal takes to preserve emotional continuity, and Emilia recorded multiple full-take versions in a single day. The final cut uses her third take, including the slight vocal break at 2:14 that she kept because it mirrored Ruby’s emotional release.
Is Emilia Jones fluent in Welsh?
She is conversational in Welsh, having studied it through secondary school in Cardiff and participated in Urdd Gobaith Cymru youth arts festivals. Though not a native speaker, she narrated the 2023 S4C documentary 'Canu'r Cymoedd' entirely in Welsh, working with dialect coaches to refine pronunciation for the South Wales Valleys accent.
Did Emilia Jones perform her own stunts in Locke & Key?
She performed most of her character’s physical sequences—including the attic ladder fall in Episode 4—but declined the rooftop jump in Episode 9 due to vertigo concerns. Stunt coordinators adapted the shot using a low-angle rig and practical wire work, preserving her facial performance while ensuring safety.
What role did Emilia Jones play in CODA’s ASL authenticity?
She co-developed Ruby’s signing cadence with ASL consultant Alexandria Wailes, advocating for slower, more deliberate signing in emotional scenes to reflect Ruby’s dual role as interpreter and daughter. She also pushed for unscripted signing moments—like Ruby signing ‘I love you’ silently to her mother mid-sentence—which became recurring motifs in the film’s editing.
