“I probably damaged my vocal chords with so many songs. Each one took us about 40 takes.”
‘Elvis’ Star Austin Butler Is “Getting Rid” of His Mississippi Accent Once and For Allafter having attracted the attention of social networks.
About to find out whether or not he will win the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of ‘The King’ in the Baz Luhrmann biopic, the Californian has been making an effort to abandon Presley’s characteristic accent since filming ended.
Talking about the situation in The Graham Norton ShowButler commented: “I’m getting rid of the accent, but I’ve probably damaged my vocal chords with so many songs. Each one took us about 40 takes.”
A little later, the future Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, remembered the sensations in front of his co-star, Tom Hanks, who plays Colonel Tom Parker in the film.
“I had no idea what it was going to be like to meet someone I have admired for so long.. You hope they’ll be nice to you, but you never know. He’s a genius at his job, he was intimidated, but The first time I met him he gave me a big hug and joked about how nervous he was,Butler commented.
“When I admitted to him that I was terrified, he said, ‘Nobody knows how Colonel Parker talked, but we all know how Elvis did!”
Previously, talking to Entertainment Weeklythe actor gave his opinion on how Presley’s characteristic voice had worked.
“I would listen to him say a specific word and I would separate that clip to know how exactly to do it,“I confessed.”I created my own file of how I said each word and each diphthong. I also recorded how he used the musicality in his voice.“
The truth is that it worked quite well.
