After Austin Butler worked tirelessly to play Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s animated biopic of the music icon, the actor was on the awards season circuit for his Oscar-worthy performance. As Butler she has made numerous appearances, including her recent one Golden Globe win fans have expressed concern that he looks like Elvis in real life . While some people have accused the actor of putting on an Elvis facade lately, one of his voice actors thinks he knows why Butler can’t get rid of his famous accent.
Irene Bartlett, an associate professor at Griffith University, was among the vocal specialists who worked with Austin Butler in Elvis about his accent. when we talk to abc gold coast , Bartlett defended Butler against those who roasted him for continuing to sound like the “Burning Love” singer. He shared that the larynx doesn’t stabilize in a person until age 30 (Butler is 31), making it entirely possible that the accent he perfected over three years could be part of his real voice. for a while ‘. In his words:
I’m sorry people say that, you know, he’s still acting [but] actually taken [the voice] on board. I don’t know how long it will last or if it will stay there forever.
Butler does everything possible for Elvis including not seeing his family for years and really focusing on speaking like El Rey for three years, rarely losing his accent as he made a “connection” with Elvis over details like his mannerisms and singing voice. More recently, fans noticed that he looked like Elvis when he accepted the award for Best Actor in a Drama at the Golden Globes.
Right after the honor in the Golden Globes press room, Austin Butler was asked about his voice change. Here’s what he had to say:
I dont think about it. I don’t think I always talk like him. But I guess I have to because I listen to it a lot. You know, I often compare him to someone who has lived in another country for a long time. I was three years old when [the role] it was my only purpose in life, so I’m sure there will always be pieces of my DNA that will always be connected like this.
Three years is a long time to be Elvis, and with Bartlett’s perspective in mind, there are other reasons Austin Butler’s voice has changed involuntarily since then. Elvis, instead of deliberately taking the accent from the ending. It certainly seems like it’s the result of a lot of determination on the actor’s part to get the right voice for his character, and as a result, he goes head-to-head with Brendan Fraser, who recently won the Critics Choice Award for him for this year’s Oscars.
