OMG! That is so true. After reading this I just realized that. I always thought that he really just wanted to be a rock star not an actor, and being an actor payed the bills.
He’s a grown man, not a prepubescent boy. Your voice can’t go from a high clear pitch to an obviously forced low monotone. He just likes the way it sounds and is riding it for as long as he gets clout from it.
he spent 2-3 years only speaking like elvis and is naturally still speaking like that cause that's how he spoke every minute of every day for 2-3 years. It's like how you pick up an accent if you live in England or Australia for long enough.
Originally born and raised in Detroit I lived in Nashville TN for 5 years for my music career and spent days around people with southern accents. I started to develop a southern accent. When I moved back to Detroit that accent started to fade so my point is based on my own experience, I believe it's completely normal for him to still be speaking a little like Elvis. It's been in his brain for 3 or more years to be Elvis it's going to take awhile before it fades out. He definitely took the roll to heart and what a gift he gave the world in giving that role all he had. It was the best portrayal of Elvis I have ever seen. Can't wait to see his next acting role.
I was born and raised in Windsor and move more north. I still had some of the accent the Windsor/Detroit area has. I still say Pap once in a while and it’s been over 20 yrs
I only took 4 two-month long trips to Georgia when I was 21 and I picked up some of the accent with certain words but it faded quickly. I still find myself saying y'all sometimes with a little twang. I can't imagine spending years doing someone else's voice that would really mess with me.

I'm Australian and when I lived in England for almost three years, I picked up an English accent which I couldn't shake when I left. It was only when I had to learn an American accent for a theatre role that I weirdly started to get a bit of my Australian accent back. I still speak with a mixed British/Australian accent to this day and it's been 7+ years since I lived in England.
i can relate to the struggle, having lived in many different places, i often pick up things (from slang to accents to whole expressions) without even noticing until someone else points it out. With that said, the thing with Austin is a lot more to do with the voice he put on, and less so the accent. He has this Trump growl-whisper now, and sometimes he breaks character and drops the voice, then he remembers and goes back to it, like in his interview he just did with Seth Meyers. It's fine but you can't blame people for being amused.
I’m a vocal coach. Once singers or actors start separating their vocal folds to create a similar tone, they can often struggle to regain full connection of their vocal folds afterwards. It depends on how long they do it and also if they have a way of keeping their regular voice in shape during the duration of the project. When the vocal folds stop connecting as easily, the person is more likely to run their words together. Now if he still has an accent, that’s another story.
@@dblanc3870 It’s not the vocal folds that make the timbre and tone of the voice, but the shape of the cavity above those folds. So the answer is yes. We change the shape of our mouth and throat continually when we use different emotional tones. Comedians who do impressions have learned how to do it intentionally. However, changing the shape of your natural instrument or distorting your voice for extended periods of time can cause issues, even long term ones. A good example is this video.
There you go. a professional answer! Love Austin Butler.. I don’t care if he’s just spoke long enough that’s now his voice, or if he’s choosing that voice to speak. He earned in! ❤️❤️
@@JNMKlover it doesn’t sound psychological to a vocal coach. We hear singers and actor personalize things that go wrong all the time when they don’t have an understanding of what is happening. A good vocal coach should be able to help get a persons voice back after incidences like these.

The man gave 3 years of his life straight to mimic someone. That means personifying his voice so well that when he says words Elvis didn’t say, it sounds as if he did. Plus Austin Butler was given a lot of love by people who like a deep voice. So between the years of conditioning and the positive attention he is receiving, doubt he try to revert back.

He is beautiful and authentic! If the family, who are the best judges of Elvis and the person that played him, says he is truly authentic: HE IS!!!! For the critics out there that say different, you are not listening. He trained HARD, with fierce determination and dedication for this role and received it for a reason. He looked and sounded somewhat like ELVIS prior to beginning the training and three years of living it has accentuated his voice and not changed it! There is a difference. He is not acting!

Leave this kid alone. He had his voice professional trained. I am sure that is not so easy to lose right away. Austin you are adorable.....pay no mind.
I’m a Brit and one of those people who naturally starts picking up other accents from being around others a lot. I’ve ended up with my friend’s very specific Scottish accent from a (she calls it tiny) place between Glasgow and Edinburgh for 5 days, my cousin’s NSW Aussie accent for *weeks* whilst he lived with us when we were teenagers, my Nonna’s Italian accent on English every time I’d see her. I can’t imagine being stuck for, what is at this point, YEARS! I can however imagine the amount of crap his friends are throwing at him over this though, because I’ve been there, had it done to me, and was even given a t-shirt!!! 😂😂
I got a question and don't bash me for this but I'm like 46.0% British and Irish but mostly European and I have an American accent but can do a convincing British accent does that at count for anything just wondering
@@Dankginger420 that’s cool! More friends is always good. I’m guessing with that breakdown you’ve done one of those DNA genealogy kits to get that percentage. Do you know when your family emigrated, and from where?
I noticed this deepish voice when I heard him first after winning-i didn't know him before that- and so even though I had never heard his voice prior I knew that deep voice wasn't his original voice, you can tell.
Austin amazing and a beautiful soul.... Media needs to leave this guy alone.... He has given a beautiful contribution to Elvis life story... No one could have done a better job..... Media needs to stop harassing him
They dated for 9 or 10 years. He spent 3 years preparing and playing Elvis. He wanted to perfect it. It is not uncommon for things like this to happen.
He has strained his voice so much to do this part and now it's just the way it is....He's so genuine and sincere...and I bet if Vanessa was still his girlfriend she wouldn't be making these comments...get a life of your own and leave his alone Vanessa !!!!!
When you workout for a particular sport, you develop that way. He's still singing almost everyday as a permanent hobby. His vocal chords have become more muscular, they trained in the range and tone of Elvis. Meryl Streeps voice has gotten lower and more husky now she's singing all the time too.
We the polyglots/ classically trained interpreters are in awe! We master other languages, utilize them in hospitals and courts, but this guy and his speech coach deserve McArthur genius award.
The reason why is simple. The new voice is cooler. Elizabeth Holmes did a similar thing. She chose a voice that better fit the way she wanted to be perceived.
the question is why are you simplifying it so much? Why does it need to be "because it's cooler". That could be one of ten reasons why his voice (and many other actors voices) change after a role. Another is habit, another is doing press tours and constantly talking about the movie, another is vocal chords actually changing during training. It's endless. But for some reason you want to exclude all other possibilities
My sister is born and raised in Montreal but has been living in Liverpool for 12 years and he accent has switched not because she wanted to but her surroundings formed her language.
I’ve just remembered that there’s another actor that this has sort of happened to! He’s an Australian by birth, but moved to the USA for work and had to keep using the generic American accent for jobs so much he was holding it all the time whilst filming to make it easier for him. Then it continued to his home and now he just has that accent. At least that’s how I heard him describe what happened. It’s Dominic Purcell who was one of the leads in Prison Break and in the DC TV ‘verse.
2016! He is six years older now, his voice changed. He even did a young Elvis voice and an older Elvis voice in the movie. He might have hung on to a little bit of a drawl but that happens when you talk Southern.
Your voice doesn't change as a man from your mid-20's to your early 30's. Before anyone points it out, drug use, heavy smoking and certain health problems can do it but not with healthy young men.
It's so stupid that people keep picking on him about this! He has a nice voice! Why not just leave it at he did a FANTASTIC job with the movie and move on?
My thoughts are - Let the guy be and leave him alone with these questions about his voice changing- there is so much more to know about him, he is more than that, he is an AMAZING actor and has so much potential. I can’t wait so see him in future movies. ❤️❤️❤️
just ask daniel day lewis he total became his characters near to a breakdown for his art it's totally possible and i think this kid has done an incredible service to elvis presley his family and his fans which are notoriously hard to please love him❤️🇬🇧
Please do not compare Daniel day Lewis with Disney kid actor Austin Bulter; While Daniel Day-Lewis is an accomplished method actor with three Oscars, Austin Butler's only claim to fame is dating Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens and an oscar wannabe. Comparing the two is insulting and inaccurate, as the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino are in a league of their own, far beyond Austin Butler's level.

Mel Gibson was raised in Australia and his accent in Mad Max was his real voice. But his long time working on American films caused him to drop the accent (except for a tiny bit of it creeping in when he was drunk and very angry at his girlfriend) but he kept the American accent even though he had Irish and Australian citizenship. He was born in NY but wasn’t raised here.
Two things were going on, 1. Austin’s dedication to being and becoming Elvis to an unimaginable commitment. 2. He experienced sickness after shooting such a taxing role both emotionally, physically, mentally and physically!!! Extreme vocal chord stress and a virus that mimicked appendicitis after 3 YEARS of his vigorous task. The OSCAR IS HIS !!!!🏆🥰❤️
I fully get it. I am American, but my ex-husband is from Mexico, so a big chunk of my Spanish I get from him and I definitely speak with an accent sometimes.
Just to point out, he was 24 or 25 in 2016 and that was his so called man voice. I get it, heavy smoking, drugs or certain health problems can change your voice in an unnatural way but putting aside the extremes, there's no reason why his voice should sound different but if he likes it, he can knock himself out and do whatever.
I think sometimes, when these actors or actresses play a character, one that you have to embody, most likely does become a part of you. From what I understand Austin did a major deep dive into the persona of Elvis Presley, and then some.
Omg 😱 He’s the most genuine guy…. He just talks like that! Leave the kid alone! Sound’s nothing like ELVIS anyway. He’s just got a deeper tone than before….. that’s it!
Omg❤ give him some time it will fade away👏🙌👊✨ as his supporters will say he earned every bit of his success ✨🙌👏why it’s even bothering his critics👊🥹😮 he is definitely a brilliant actor => naturally gifted a unicorn …❤🎉❤
First, I don’t see where there is such a big difference in his voice! Secondly, WHO REALLY CARES! I mean SERIOUSLY? People really need to get a life and leave his alone. Austin is a beautiful, sensitive, compassionate man and has done nothing except made an awful lot of people very happy by portraying so impeccably a man that millions of people in the whole world adored so. And all people are worrying about and ragging on him about is a “slight” voice change that is both hard to just drop and perhaps something he simply prefers not to. SO WHAT…it is HIS choice. Does anyone tell YOU how YOU should sound? Get a life people.🤦🏼♀️
i mean imagine how much repetition he had with the elvis voice. Safe to say it became a solidified habit like breathing. He doesnt even think anymore about it,
Its with heartfelt gratitude I wanna say thank you for your kind words. I don't usually do this often as I'm not on social media but your kind words attracted me, Its been an honor.

My thought is that he’s not faking it … he’s stuck for now, and maybe forever. As someone who has lost her voice numerous times throughout the years, I know my voice has become deeper when it came back, than it was when I was in my 30’s. However, I think he sounds more mature now than he did before. Give him a break!
Aspects of it are his actual/natural voice. He just needs another role where there is a vocal change for him to practice and then this intonation/nuance will be altered. 🤷♀️
I moved to the southern US for a few months and when I called my Canadian mom after a month, she said I sounded like Daisy Duke lol I didn't notice it, either. I think Austin Butler sounds hot. I'd love to feel that sweet voice on the back of my neck
When you do some exercises with your voice you actually can make it sound different (deeper) forever, and even more so when you do it for so long. I think it is how his voice sounds like now, it might get a little higher in the future, but it probably stay like this for good.
I'm one of those people who easily pick up on accents and such when they are strong. It's something I am unaware I do at times. One time a British man thought I was making fun of him because of it as I didn't sound British when we started talking.....and it was only when he pointed it out that I noticed and I had to plead with him that I honestly wasn't making fun of him, it's something I do without knowing it. I apologized profusely and I think he understood but he really didn't say much to me after that so I am still haunted by it to this day. I never want anyone to think I am mocking them. Anyway all this to say I can definitely see how Austin could take in Elvis's voice even after no longer being in the roll. It's a way of speaking that he was immersed in for several years. Elvis has one of those voices I would have copied without realizing it I am sure, had I spent anytime listening to him talk.
I do the same. When I lived in England I picked up parts of the accent instantly. And when I used to work for a company where I dealt with people from the South I began drawling. Lol 😆
Didn’t Prime minister Margaret Thatcher’s voice undergo a similar change with the assistance of a vocal coach? And wasn’t she taken more seriously as a result?
Who cares, he seems like a nice polite bloke who was brilliant in Elvis, focus on his performance as opposed to his voice now…and does it really matter
This is not an accent! It's being trained to speak in a different sound in your throat and the diaphragm. It's like singing soprano and then going two octaves lower.
Lmao i liked his playing Elvis in the movie but when I watched him still having his Elvis voice after the movie, it was such a turn off 😂 Meryl Streep (and other actors) played 15+ different accents and she still talks like Meryl Streep
You have to remember though, he started to prepare to play Elvis before COVID, and the film had to be on hold for a while. Butler ended living as Elvis for 2 years! He had to sing like him, dance like him, talk like him, and basically live like him! Meryl Streep is not a method actor, and has never had to stay in character that long. Also, Butler knew that he had to kill this role for his career! If he would have bombed as Elvis it would have been over!
Or he just wanted a deeper voice. The same way women want a bigger bum. Women put plenty of effort into dying hair, wearing make up, filling their lips...
It's not that it sounds like he's faking it, it's that what he's actually picked up sounds fake. Real southern people don't sound quite like that. Also, his voice fizzles out and gets breathy when he goes too low because his natural speaking voice doesn't sit down there. The same thing happens when you try to sing a note that's a bit too high or low for your voice type.
I am from the South, and I moved north and lost my accent. When I went home everyone thought I was faking. How about when Madonna had a British accent and everyone thought she was faking it even though she had been living in England and married to a brit for years. It just happens. People need to understand that he wasn't just speaking like Elvis he was singing like him as well!
@@freddiegrace3770 I, too, lived in the south and moved north. Completely lost my accent, but can easily slide back into it when talking to family back home. I have no idea I’m doing it either.
It's not that he wants to, it's that the training involved literally alters it to a point to where he has to "retrain" to go back to normal. This isn't new and has happened to many actors, it's just not as in the light as big as Elvis and most find a way to taper the vocal change down enough to where it's STILL not their original voice, BUT they were able to change it AWAY from the movie persona. Get it? If you work out for 2 years consistently, you don't just lose all your gains no matter how shitty of a diet you take on afterwards, the mass you made and shaped takes a long time to actually diminish to a point from where you started.
He gave so much of himself to prepare for that role for so many years and it's just part of his makeup now. It's like moving to another state where people have thick accents compared to how you speak and you end up speaking the same way. To tell you the truth with the examples that you gave I don't hear that much of a difference. People will find anything to talk about just to talk about it and make something out of it
Most actors also don't spend 2 years focusing on one role. Everyday citizens who try assimilating into new countries or languages do eventually adopt a permanent linguistic change from enunciation or pronouncing, tone and the like. Not sure why people are so strange about this.
y'all what's the big deal? he has nothing left to prove. he did his performance exceptionally well. Job well done. moving onward... let him talk how he wants. who cares? Sheesh 🙄
Johnny Depp is another perfect example , every since he played Jack Sparrow it seems like that's who he is now
OMG! That is so true. After reading this I just realized that. I always thought that he really just wanted to be a rock star not an actor, and being an actor payed the bills.
Exactly! I noticed it myself that Depp speaks almost like Jack Sparrow in real life. I think Jack will never leave Depp's body.
Linda McCartney had an English accent! People who are around different characters from different worlds take on their behaviors!
@@b.unicornette7734 Yes,Johnny sounds like a brit,so did Linda McCartney . Just works out that way sometimes .
Yes! And Jack Sparrow is a descendant of Johnny's time with Hunter S Thompson and Keith Richard's.
His voice gradually got deeper so I think it just happened over time and now that’s him and I think he sounds great!
That's not how puberty works lol

Austin is not faking his voice. Y would someone say that. He practiced that role for so long. He deserves the Oscar. He was phenomenal.
He is; all of his career has been faking it until you make it!
Austin amazing and a beautiful soul.... Media needs to leave this guy alone.... He has given a beautiful contribution to Elvis life story... No one could have done a better job..... Media needs to stop harassing him
They dated for 9 or 10 years. He spent 3 years preparing and playing Elvis. He wanted to perfect it. It is not uncommon for things like this to happen.
He has strained his voice so much to do this part and now it's just the way it is....He's so genuine and sincere...and I bet if Vanessa was still his girlfriend she wouldn't be making these comments...get a life of your own and leave his alone Vanessa !!!!!
When you workout for a particular sport, you develop that way. He's still singing almost everyday as a permanent hobby. His vocal chords have become more muscular, they trained in the range and tone of Elvis.
Meryl Streeps voice has gotten lower and more husky now she's singing all the time too.
Is there nothing going on in the world that this is constantly being discussed?
Lmaooo ikrrrrrr
I love his beautiful voice. Handsome man too.
Lol he's still in character 😂
We the polyglots/ classically trained interpreters are in awe! We master other languages, utilize them in hospitals and courts, but this guy and his speech coach deserve McArthur genius award.
The reason why is simple. The new voice is cooler. Elizabeth Holmes did a similar thing. She chose a voice that better fit the way she wanted to be perceived.
the question is why are you simplifying it so much? Why does it need to be "because it's cooler". That could be one of ten reasons why his voice (and many other actors voices) change after a role. Another is habit, another is doing press tours and constantly talking about the movie, another is vocal chords actually changing during training. It's endless. But for some reason you want to exclude all other possibilities
Hahahaha “permanently altered” 😂😂
I love his voice! It's sexy. And I agree. It makes sense that he now talks like that because he spoke with that voice for so long.
Same with Rick Springfield.
love it please keep it it SO fits your personna Elvis would be proud
My sister is born and raised in Montreal but has been living in Liverpool for 12 years and he accent has switched not because she wanted to but her surroundings formed her language.
he doesnt sound like elvis, he is humble and a nice guy
I’ve just remembered that there’s another actor that this has sort of happened to!
He’s an Australian by birth, but moved to the USA for work and had to keep using the generic American accent for jobs so much he was holding it all the time whilst filming to make it easier for him. Then it continued to his home and now he just has that accent. At least that’s how I heard him describe what happened. It’s Dominic Purcell who was one of the leads in Prison Break and in the DC TV ‘verse.
2016! He is six years older now, his voice changed. He even did a young Elvis voice and an older Elvis voice in the movie. He might have hung on to a little bit of a drawl but that happens when you talk Southern.
Your voice doesn't change as a man from your mid-20's to your early 30's. Before anyone points it out, drug use, heavy smoking and certain health problems can do it but not with healthy young men.
It's so stupid that people keep picking on him about this! He has a nice voice! Why not just leave it at he did a FANTASTIC job with the movie and move on?
His voice just sounds deeper.
My thoughts are - Let the guy be and leave him alone with these questions about his voice changing- there is so much more to know about him, he is more than that, he is an AMAZING actor and has so much potential. I can’t wait so see him in future movies. ❤️❤️❤️
Christian bale keeps the accent of the characters he portrays for the press tours
just ask daniel day lewis he total became his characters near to a breakdown for his art it's totally possible and i think this kid has done an incredible service to elvis presley his family and his fans which are notoriously hard to please love him❤️🇬🇧
Please do not compare Daniel day Lewis with Disney kid actor Austin Bulter; While Daniel Day-Lewis is an accomplished method actor with three Oscars, Austin Butler's only claim to fame is dating Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens and an oscar wannabe. Comparing the two is insulting and inaccurate, as the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino are in a league of their own, far beyond Austin Butler's level.

Mel Gibson was raised in Australia and his accent in Mad Max was his real voice. But his long time working on American films caused him to drop the accent (except for a tiny bit of it creeping in when he was drunk and very angry at his girlfriend) but he kept the American accent even though he had Irish and Australian citizenship. He was born in NY but wasn’t raised here.
Two things were going on, 1. Austin’s dedication to being and becoming Elvis to an unimaginable commitment. 2. He experienced sickness after shooting such a taxing role both emotionally, physically, mentally and physically!!!
Extreme vocal chord stress and a virus that mimicked appendicitis after 3 YEARS of his vigorous task. The OSCAR IS HIS !!!!🏆🥰❤️
I mean compare James Hetfield's voice on Master of Puppets (he was 23) and on ... and Justice for All (25). His balls dropped in between
I fully get it. I am American, but my ex-husband is from Mexico, so a big chunk of my Spanish I get from him and I definitely speak with an accent sometimes.
I think ppl should stop annoying him, that is his natural voice, it's deeper now because of his age and because of all the training, it matured.
Of course his voice is going to change as he grows into his man self! He’s gorgeous, all around!
Just to point out, he was 24 or 25 in 2016 and that was his so called man voice. I get it, heavy smoking, drugs or certain health problems can change your voice in an unnatural way but putting aside the extremes, there's no reason why his voice should sound different but if he likes it, he can knock himself out and do whatever.
I think sometimes, when these actors or actresses play a character, one that you have to embody, most likely does become a part of you. From what I understand Austin did a major deep dive into the persona of Elvis Presley, and then some.
Austin is a beautiful man
Omg 😱
He’s the most genuine guy…. He just talks like that! Leave the kid alone!
Sound’s nothing like ELVIS anyway. He’s just got a deeper tone than before….. that’s it!
I dont hear a drastic change of his voice from the 2016 clip. It just sounds a little deeper which comes with age for most men.
Omg❤ give him some time it will fade away👏🙌👊✨ as his supporters will say he earned every bit of his success ✨🙌👏why it’s even bothering his critics👊🥹😮 he is definitely a brilliant actor => naturally gifted a unicorn …❤🎉❤
He's also getting older. This is ridiculous 😅
i'm confused. from the two clips shown in this video, seems like his voice is just a little deeper now. what am i missing?
First, I don’t see where there is such a big difference in his voice! Secondly, WHO REALLY CARES! I mean SERIOUSLY? People really need to get a life and leave his alone. Austin is a beautiful, sensitive, compassionate man and has done nothing except made an awful lot of people very happy by portraying so impeccably a man that millions of people in the whole world adored so. And all people are worrying about and ragging on him about is a “slight” voice change that is both hard to just drop and perhaps something he simply prefers not to. SO WHAT…it is HIS choice. Does anyone tell YOU how YOU should sound? Get a life people.🤦🏼♀️
i mean imagine how much repetition he had with the elvis voice. Safe to say it became a solidified habit like breathing. He doesnt even think anymore about it,
Austin is sooo easy on the eyes and ears.
All of this going on and on about his voice borders on harassment. Why not comment on his amazing acting abilities!!!
When you look at that clip from 2000 I think you said 16 his voice still sounds like Elvis it’s just not quite as deep or raspy
If you know what muscle memory is, you'll understand.
He has a nice voice either way. It doesn’t sound terribly different to me - maybe a bit softer.
Its with heartfelt gratitude I wanna say thank you for your kind words. I don't usually do this often as I'm not on social media but your kind words attracted me, Its been an honor.
Leave Him Alone!!! Austin will "adjust" when it suits HIM.

My thought is that he’s not faking it … he’s stuck for now, and maybe forever. As someone who has lost her voice numerous times throughout the years, I know my voice has become deeper when it came back, than it was when I was in my 30’s. However, I think he sounds more mature now than he did before. Give him a break!
I like his voice now. Austin sounds better after Elvis. 😍❤️
Who cares? I hope his voice stays that way.
Hrs talking from his diaphragm now and he's getting older, it deepens on everyone.
Vanessa hasn't been in the lime light lately, so she is using this to get attention on her.
Aspects of it are his actual/natural voice. He just needs another role where there is a vocal change for him to practice and then this intonation/nuance will be altered. 🤷♀️
I'm not mad about his new voice. He can keep it up all he wants lol.
I moved to the southern US for a few months and when I called my Canadian mom after a month, she said I sounded like Daisy Duke lol I didn't notice it, either. I think Austin Butler sounds hot. I'd love to feel that sweet voice on the back of my neck
Man i wished my ex would speak highly of me like her
When you do some exercises with your voice you actually can make it sound different (deeper) forever, and even more so when you do it for so long. I think it is how his voice sounds like now, it might get a little higher in the future, but it probably stay like this for good.
I'm one of those people who easily pick up on accents and such when they are strong. It's something I am unaware I do at times. One time a British man thought I was making fun of him because of it as I didn't sound British when we started talking.....and it was only when he pointed it out that I noticed and I had to plead with him that I honestly wasn't making fun of him, it's something I do without knowing it. I apologized profusely and I think he understood but he really didn't say much to me after that so I am still haunted by it to this day. I never want anyone to think I am mocking them.
Anyway all this to say I can definitely see how Austin could take in Elvis's voice even after no longer being in the roll. It's a way of speaking that he was immersed in for several years. Elvis has one of those voices I would have copied without realizing it I am sure, had I spent anytime listening to him talk.
I do the same. When I lived in England I picked up parts of the accent instantly. And when I used to work for a company where I dealt with people from the South I began drawling. Lol 😆
If he talks differently now, what's your problem with that ?????
I think Austin sounds like himself.
He’s awesome and his acting rocks!!!
Didn’t Prime minister Margaret Thatcher’s voice undergo a similar change with the assistance of a vocal coach? And wasn’t she taken more seriously as a result?
Who cares, he seems like a nice polite bloke who was brilliant in Elvis, focus on his performance as opposed to his voice now…and does it really matter
This is not an accent! It's being trained to speak in a different sound in your throat and the diaphragm. It's like singing soprano and then going two octaves lower.
Austin Butler is cute! Let him have the voice he wants to have.
Lmao i liked his playing Elvis in the movie but when I watched him still having his Elvis voice after the movie, it was such a turn off 😂 Meryl Streep (and other actors) played 15+ different accents and she still talks like Meryl Streep
You have to remember though, he started to prepare to play Elvis before COVID, and the film had to be on hold for a while. Butler ended living as Elvis for 2 years! He had to sing like him, dance like him, talk like him, and basically live like him! Meryl Streep is not a method actor, and has never had to stay in character that long. Also, Butler knew that he had to kill this role for his career! If he would have bombed as Elvis it would have been over!
His voice can stay like that forever. love it. Its a muscular change thats PERMANENT. get over it!!!
He sound the same to me….and he’s older….
The reason he's putting in so much effort is that he craves attention and validation.
Or he just wanted a deeper voice. The same way women want a bigger bum. Women put plenty of effort into dying hair, wearing make up, filling their lips...
@@adamcraig1468 it doesn’t matter because he still lost lol 😏😝🥳
He wants to be Johnny Depp
It's not that it sounds like he's faking it, it's that what he's actually picked up sounds fake. Real southern people don't sound quite like that. Also, his voice fizzles out and gets breathy when he goes too low because his natural speaking voice doesn't sit down there. The same thing happens when you try to sing a note that's a bit too high or low for your voice type.
I am from the South, and I moved north and lost my accent. When I went home everyone thought I was faking. How about when Madonna had a British accent and everyone thought she was faking it even though she had been living in England and married to a brit for years. It just happens. People need to understand that he wasn't just speaking like Elvis he was singing like him as well!
@@freddiegrace3770 I, too, lived in the south and moved north. Completely lost my accent, but can easily slide back into it when talking to family back home. I have no idea I’m doing it either.
Leave the poor guy alone already.. he's great with or with out the 'fake voice'
I just think his voice has matured as well. 1:22
It's not that he wants to, it's that the training involved literally alters it to a point to where he has to "retrain" to go back to normal. This isn't new and has happened to many actors, it's just not as in the light as big as Elvis and most find a way to taper the vocal change down enough to where it's STILL not their original voice, BUT they were able to change it AWAY from the movie persona. Get it? If you work out for 2 years consistently, you don't just lose all your gains no matter how shitty of a diet you take on afterwards, the mass you made and shaped takes a long time to actually diminish to a point from where you started.
Love Austin Butler
It did change but he doesn't sound like Elvis.
It's also called.....maturing.....
They were together for almost 9 years actually but yeah I like how his voice sounds period
He gave so much of himself to prepare for that role for so many years and it's just part of his makeup now. It's like moving to another state where people have thick accents compared to how you speak and you end up speaking the same way. To tell you the truth with the examples that you gave I don't hear that much of a difference.
People will find anything to talk about just to talk about it and make something out of it
It sounds pretty much the same, I watched him on The Carrie Diaries and knew he would be a star! Super sexy, great actor.
Most actors also don't spend 2 years focusing on one role. Everyday citizens who try assimilating into new countries or languages do eventually adopt a permanent linguistic change from enunciation or pronouncing, tone and the like. Not sure why people are so strange about this.
y'all what's the big deal? he has nothing left to prove. he did his performance exceptionally well. Job well done. moving onward... let him talk how he wants. who cares? Sheesh 🙄
Talk about what a great job he did for the movie. He sounds fine.
Who cares. If he wants to keep the voice of Elvis let him. People are altering their bodies and getting sex changes. We don't pay his bills.
Nothing wrong in sounding like Elvis.
Comparing him now to something from almost 10 years ago is totally not fair as people's voice changes as they age. Leave the man alone!
Sounds like he damaged his voice 🥺
Well he just sounds tired for me
Jeff Bridges has been Rooster Cogburn for 12 years.
Leave him alone, it’s sexy. It’s not like he sounds like Steve Urkel or something. Do your thing, Austin!
😂😂😂
