Saying it all my life

Question

Says Vidya, "It wasn't easy for me. I couldn't say the word out loud. During rehearsals I'd just mumble it under my breath or not say it at all. My co-star Arshad Warsi said I'd have to say it out loud in the rehearsals, or it wouldn't come out right in the final take. But I insisted on just skipping the word in the rehearsals. But when I said it out aloud in front of the camera it sounded like I had been saying it all my life. Fortunately Ishqiya had sync sound, so I thought I wouldn't have to say those expletives again."

Could you please explain to me the emboldened parts?

All my life means 'since I was born', 'in my whole life'.

Thank you friend.

Then does that mean "in his whole life this is the first time she is saying such words"?

MichalS · Answer

No, it's just the opposite actually.

User_garyBut when I said it out aloud in front of the camera it sounded like I had been saying it all my life.

This sentence in this context means that she/he said this word out alound for the first time (it was probably a very difficult word to pronounce) but it came out very good, just like as if she/he had said it all the time in her whole life ("it sounded like I had been saying it all my life").
