In the clip, Celine could be seen posing poolside for a series of photoshoots and also in the recording studio, working out some of the songs that would be going into the record.

She said: "Once I started listening to songs again to pick up for this album, it was like I never left it. It was kind of like 'okay time to pick songs again, what can they give me, what can they offer me? Play me some stuff'."

She continued: "I didn't try to control my vocal cords, I didn't let them control me, totally. I wanted my soul to be in charge. 

"I wasn't searching for a note or song or holding for something or searching for something or proving something for me. I'm doing it because it's fun. Singing is fun. I'm happy."

Celine opened up about finding her voice in the documentary

The post also came with the message that the entire documentary was available for fans to view on YouTube, and they responded in the comments section with messages of love and appreciation for the Canadian legend.

"Whether she uses her vocal cords, her heart or her soul, Céline always manages to move me to tears. No one else can convey emotions and touch my heart the way she does," one lovingly wrote, with another also saying: "My god, this voice Celine."
