On January 10, 2023, American actor Austin Butler makes his way to The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California, for the 80th annual Golden Globe Awards
Talking About His Accent
For the movie, the star of Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis adapted and maintained the music legend’s southern drawl. Butler’s new voice has received a lot of attention, especially following his address at the Golden Globes last month, but it appears he’s finally losing it.
In a preview for Friday’s episode of The Graham Norton Show, he declared, “I am getting rid of the accent.” “But all that singing has undoubtedly hurt my vocal cords. It required 40 takes for one song.”
The Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination for Best Actor have helped to make up for it, though.
About His Movies
The 31-year-old native of Southern California described the success of the movie and his awards as “a whirlwind.” “It’s interesting because you never truly know how a movie will be received when you are shooting it. There were a lot of potential pitfalls with this one, so the positive response has meant the world to me.”
Before he was even given the part in 2019, Butler took on the persona of the “Hound Dog” vocalist. He claims that after sending Luhrmann a tape of himself singing “Unchained Melody,” he went through “a five-month audition” process.
After that, there was a screen test, and he ultimately got the part. He received daily instruction from a dialect coach to perfect the accent before filming even started in Australia in 2020. He also practised vocal exercises to widen his range. He also practised karate every day with a movement specialist to develop his dexterity for dancing and hip-shaking.
He Gained A Lot Of Attention
The movie was released in June, and the fact that he still dresses like Elvis has garnered a lot of attention. After dedicating two years of his life to the character, he stated last year, “That it works is nothing to be astonished about. Who knows how I’ll sound in 20 years when I’ve played many different roles?”
Butler’s statement at the Globes in January further stoked the debate and drew harsh criticism. After delivering his winning speech, he declared, “I didn’t even consider it.
However, even Vanessa Hudgens, his ex-girlfriend of eight years who had pushed him to accept the part, noticed the shift in his voice. When his voice instructor warned Butler’s accent might end up being permanent, she laughed out loud in front of everyone.
