He doesn't sound as much as elvis as he used to before but there is still a hint of it in his voice.

'Crazy' comment. The Elvis movie has already been a success. Who knows if the MJ movie will be? Also, so what if MJ nephew is playing him in the movie. Since when does an actor have to be related to the person they are portraying? Who cares if the Elvis movie was released the day before MJ death anniversary. That has no relevance. Also, Lisa Marie (Rip) was not stolen by anyone. She will always be Elvis' daughter. She was only married to MJ for under 2 years and then left him. In interviews etc. you could tell she regretted that whole thing with MJ and it followed her for the rest of her life. She had said that she was stigmatized because of it.

I was gonna say that there’s a hint of it still there but for me I find it cool lol

@Paige Cartwright 👍

@crazy4corbinbleux Why do they have to compare to each other? They're both great singers from different times. It's not a contest lol.

He was preparing for Elvis for ages. Plus it's a cool voice, so who cares?? 😂😂

@crazy4corbinbleux bruh who cares? Just enjoy what’s been given.

If an actor did a British accent for a movie, then kept doing it for months after the movie because he thought it sounded cooler, everyone would agree he’s a lunatic...

It's extremely strange.

I think his voice sounds amazing. It has aged like a fine wine.

@JaneDiamond 551964 Great! I don't know if this relate but if you have interest in chatting with him I will send you the details if necessary.. just showing fan love

@JaneDiamond 551964 completely agree with you and CB. I was experiencing hoarseness and throat irritation, went to the ENT and he sent me to a speech therapist. She told me I was speaking in a lower tone than my natural voice, so it was causing strain, they actually call it "frying" your voice when you do that. I went through about 4 or 5 sessions to learn how to find and speak properly for my natural tone. They call it resetting the voice, and I could feel the difference in my throat. So I think he learned how to talk like elvis, but if he likes how it sounds, why would he work to change it back? And he would have to work to get it back, because now it's not second nature to talk in his previous voice. The only thing I hope is that a speech therapist or vocal coach is checking to make sure the technique he learned and how he's speaking isn't damaging his voice. He said he thinks he damaged his vocal chords, but I hope not!?

@crazy4corbinbleux ok cry about …

@JaneDiamond 551964 yes I think something similar happened to Mariah Carey as well

@C B Austin was singing constantly on the set on certain days. Baz asked for a dozen or more takes on the songs he performed. Austin stated in an interview he tried to sing "Never Been to Spain" (which never made it into the movie) and it hurt his vocal chords. I also think that singing "Trouble" with such ferocity did a number on them as well. In the end, a throat specialist would need to check his throat to see if there is scar tissue anywhere. That is sometimes the cause of the raspy voice.

Austin put his heart and soul into portraying Elvis. After speaking in a certain tone for years, you can’t immediately shut it off. I personally liked it. His voice sounds a bit different now, but he just has a deep, great voice. He should never feel “ fake”, he’s an extremely genuine man.

In psychology studies for my degree, in a module regarding the human behaviour, it actually lists people who quickly (unintentionally and without noticing they’re doing it) mimic others mannerisms, accents, tone, voice etc as people who are highly empathetic people and there is a strong correlation between mimicking and those who are altruistic and kind hearted. So he shouldn’t be ashamed or embarrassed.

Sure Jan...

@Isabell P. LOL

This used to happen with work colleagues. Spending all day every day with them, I'd pick up subconsciously on their unique speech patterns and word usage and I'd catch myself telling my husband about my day and sharing stories at parties, using some of the same phrasing, verbiage, and timing as my co-workers. I think there is not just an empathy that goes with that but an ability to adapt and integrate stimuli from your environment into your persona. It's a survival skill that seems both primal and sophisticated at the same time. Look at ravens and their ability to mimic the human voice. It's terrifying and fascinating.

Yeah mimicking but not completely adopting, right? If that was what was happening here wouldn't he be mimicking the accents/mannerisms/speech patterns/inflexions of those around him and not just one person? Surely that would mean a fluctuating "voice" and not one committed adopted one. If he really can't shake the voice then it is most likely more closely related to habit than empathy or something along those lines.

yep, and also those of us with BPD also do this.

The fact that he felt self conscious of himself because people were comparing his voice now to when he was 17, like guys leave him alone 😔 His voice sounds great no matter what ❤❤

They're saying that as if he's old but he's only 31 smh

@J All acting is fake, welcome to the world.

@J Um explain to me how you can "fake" being self conscious about yourself?? And it's not cringey at all, it's a normal insecurity that people have.

I love his voice! I don’t understand why people think it’s such a big deal. My guess is people are just jealous that their voice isn’t as cool as his

@Petrovvskiii nah. I’m not a bot. I’m a real human. Who SAID WHAT I SAID

..well then you obviously don’t understand THE ELVIS FILM WILL NEVER COMPARE TO THE MICHAEL BIOPIC SET TO RELEASE IN 2025! Nice try Austin but you can't even come close! You're not even related to Elvis. Michael is going to have his blood line NEPHEW play him in his biopic. It doesn't get any more royalty than that. How does it feel? And don't think for a second we forgot the executives of 'Elvis' thought it was fitting to release the film the day before Michael's death anniversary on June 25th. You are NOT forgiven for that one. Michael >> Elvis. Long live the King!!

Or maybe they're concerned for his well being ... 🙄

I wish everyone would stop bugging him about his voice. It's his voice now and a lovely voice let it go!

​@Gabrio Fonda until he plays Gandhi 😂

@crazy4corbinbleux it hasnt even come out yet lmao touch grass

True. Like who cares? They should stop putting pressure on the guy.

@Teyona Miller you think it’s dumb because it’s trolling the truth is, ITS NOT! ITS SPREADING THE TRUTH!! Michael is #1 forever go spread the news!!

@crazy4corbinbleux this is the dumbest bit of trolling ever

I can't be the only one that wants him to keep the voice forever. He brought Elvis to the new world and young generation. He reinspired all the old Elvis fans and reminded us. Thank God for Austin!

@crazy4corbinbleux if MJ was really the best you wouldn't be so threatened by other artists' popularity and feel such a strong need to tear them down. get a grip on yourself.

@crazy4corbinbleux Bieber Fever was never about "This artist isn't good, because only Bieber rules!". So I really don't like your point of view. Elvis changed the music and the film was really good. MJ Cha her the music and the movie will probably also be really good. (And don't overestimate MJ, the release date of the movie was set just because it's a good weekend to release a blockbuster) 😉

@Dominik Leitner I’m actually not. LOL. why does everyone think somethings wrong me. I don’t do drugs barely alcohol. ITS CALLED MICHAEL JACKSON FEVER :) You know, kinda like ‘Bieber fever’ but MJ instead 😏

@crazy4corbinbleux On a scale from 1 to very - how drunk are you right now?

@Dominik Leitner Michael Jackson rules as #1 FOREVER! Spread the news !!

His voice is amazing, he sounds kind.💕

He’s created a voice that makes him 1000x sexier than ever before to every single person he meets. Is it really such a big mystery why he isn’t trying to change it back? 😂

You must be joking lol He is very weird looking

@S Stills True. There is a reason why 'crazy' is in my username. Authenticity is the key to life ;)

@crazy4corbinbleux holy smokes, you really are crazy.

Umm. THE ELVIS FILM WILL NEVER COMPARE TO THE MICHAEL BIOPIC SET TO RELEASE IN 2025! Nice try Austin but you can't even come close! You're not even related to Elvis.

exactly my answer, word for word! how long have you been a fan of his?

I love him. I love his voice. I love his acting. Austin, just be you!❤️❤️❤️

exactly my answer, word for word! how long have you been a fan of his?

“You have to pay me for that” I know that’s right Austin! 😂❤

@crazy4corbinbleux someones got their panties in a twist

That line was so lame

@Mallory Newcomb the simplest clap back lol

Silent killer that line was

Austin had focus and reached his goal!! Your dedication and your efforts helped me to see that it is worth persisting in my goals!! I just wish he lives longer than Elvis and takes good care of his health!! Thank you Austin! Brazil RJ #austinbutler

word for word! how long have you been a fan of his?

He has the sexiest most calming voice ever.. I want him to talk me through an anxiety attack 😂❤

I feel like he will always have a hint of his voice considering the amount of time he went basically listening to him on repeat

His voice is beautiful! Why can’t people stop hounding him about it ! Geez !!!!

He’s the one who decided to make a spectacle out of himself with this bizarre lie about his voice.

How long have you been a fan of his?

I love his voice no matter what. When I read or heard people complaining about his voice I'm like, "stop, be original". Austin is a very talented actor and all that people have to say is if he is faking his voice or not.

How long have you been a fan of his?

He has a deep voice

I hope his voice stays as it is.

How long have you been a fan of his?

I like Austin's voice when he doesnt talks like elvis..its a very deep voice, he should do voice acting if wants to because its a very unique sound and it would be amazing

he is just amazing his voice is perfect

He does naturally sound like Elvis.

Yeah, but he naturally doesn't look like him

@crazy4corbinbleux  how can you know it's better when it hasn't even been released yet?? Lol.

@crazy4corbinbleux And yes he does.

@crazy4corbinbleux Don't judge hypocrite.

I would say it is more of his cadence than accent. He has a more slow paced thoughtful lingering expression to his voice. And guess what? People get drawn into what he is saying because of it.

Yes!!! Absolutely! It’s the rhythm and honestly it is very nice to listen to!

You can tell people have got nothing else to do with their lives when they’re complaining about someone’s voice.

It’s an awesome voice! I have no issues with it and it suck’s so many people are all freaked out about it.

Elvis's voice is awesome, why would you want to lose it lol

A mi me encanta su voz☀️🤗

He seems like a total sweetheart

This kid is taking the mick now 😂

People are spending too much time trying to explain to Austin "how his voice has changed". When they don't have ANY references to what his voice was like just before he started methodically training to get the role. So... what are they going on about? Who cares? He is who he is, he spent YEARS perfecting Elvis, because of INSANE expectations and pressure put on him. He's respectful of Elvis' memories & legacy, and he smashed it out of the park. So give Austin a freaking break. Like he says, he's strained his voice for literally years. His voice needs to heal and is what it is NOW. Often people are super judgemental, without thinking logically. 😂

@R B yes, of course. The funny part is, ALL the ones "the press" have shown are from him being a teen or young adult. Not from recent years. If the general press asked him this question with recent videos, my comment would be different. 😂

I feel like if one were to be casting for a Tom Waits biopic this guy would be high on the list of people to ask. He's got the facial structure and hands for the role

I love Austin he the best and my favourite actor 💖💙💜

Does it matter what his voice sounds like he’s a damn good actor and singer I saw him in Elvis and he was brilliant.

Austin Butler.....Was Brilliant Playing Elvis He Had The Voice & The Moves.....Well Done To Him.......🎤👍👍🙂

Poor guy seems troubled. May he find peace.

Exactly my answer, word for word! how long have you been a fan of his?

I just love him. He is such a fantastic actor snd very sweet I just love him snd his voice.

its unbelievable that we're still on this

He's keeping that voice until the Awards season is over

I didn't understand the problem with his voice anyway. First, it needs time to get rid of the Elvis voice, as he had prepared for this role for so long. And, like he said, he's older, of course you will sound different. And no, I don't think he was faking his Elvis voice either.

@crazy4corbinbleux Typical Michael Jackson fan behavior

NO

Best comment ever ❤️

He’s dreamy…and talented…and dreamy.

Leave Austin alone about his voice. It's beautiful and sexy. These old men are just jealous. Austin lived, breathed, sang, spoke, studied Elvis for three years. Of course, a lot of Elvis will remain with him including his voice and most of us love it.

I even feel sick to death on his behalf, of him being asked this question!

@Auralia Delacroix OMG that’s nice 🙂. Can you tell me your favorites songs of Elvis’s?

@Williams Cooper all my life probably due to my family! I think it was in everyones record collection!

Elvis is a very good talented old country musician and he's full of some many songs that I can't deal with 🥰🥰he will always be in our heart❤️❤️❤️. Since when have you been listening to Elvis Presley songs?

I think his voice sounds very cool. I think it's matured like a whisky, red wine or a cheese. I don't have a voice as cool as his. I never have. I have a deep, low pitched voice that can be charismatic when I want it to be but, it's nothing like his.

vanessa hudgen's comment still gets me every time

It's just his voice + a slight hint of Elvis + puberty. After going 3 years of the same voice practice over and over again, It's only normal that it changes under those conditions.

Aw, he's so lovely....and a great actor....

exactly my answer, word for word! how long have you been a fan of his?

He DOES sound very different after he went to a vocal coach to learn how to sound like Elvis. Look at videos of him right before he started preparing for the role. Noticeable difference.

it amazes me how ppl say it is not his voice when they have not heard his real mature voice in the last few years...most probably ever.

It's not just the sound of his voice but how he carried his speaking. Obviously here he's more aware and trying to kick it. But all that was constant practiced result ... he did the ultimate method acting achievement. He went so far he needs to condition himself to get out of it.

He played a great elvis

He knows exactly what he's doing.

How long have you been a fan of Austin?

I find it so weird that people think he’s forcing the voice when he was training for the movie for over 2 years, yeah there’s going to be a hint of Elvis there in his voice for a while whether you like it or not😅

Don't be ashamed Austin! You're just fine!👍👍💖💖

he sounds similar to how he's always done, just that his voice is deeper now

He was awesome as Elvis

I love it. I think he should embrace the Elvis 😊

Exactly my answer, word for word! how long have you been a fan of his?

He was talking slower and now he’s back to a normal cadence

Did Graham seat the future Best Actor & Actress Oscar winners together? Let's hope so 🤞 Love Michelle Yeoh too 🥯

It is very unfair to compare someone's voice from when they were a teenager to when they are a 31 year old man. His voice is fine. Get over it lol

they're a bunch of haters!

He sounds raspy and i love it

I had that from playing an aristicrat where the recieved pronounciation would linger with me even after the performance was over with, this was due to the fact we would constantly rehearse night and day to get into the role which involves litterally meeting up with a dialect or linguistics coach learning to become that character from movement, facial expression and speech. Its starts to consume you as an actor after a while that you begin to mould bits of the character in ones self. To overcome this, it's just the case of doing other roles outside of the role you were doing so for him it'll be going from Memphis to London with the roles but Austin Butler isn't alone in this as even Josh O'Connor spoke like King Charles after he'd finished with the Crown.

He’s never gonna escape these questions man

Sigh hes so lovely. All I want in life is to meet and hug him and tell him hes great :(

Me toooo ❤❤❤❤

Enjoyed the movie 🎬 he a decent actor too 👍

He’s got a like a very calm introvert type vibe very chill like if he narrated like one of those mindfulness or relaxation videos you’d just zen out

Why would he want to loose that beautiful voice??? Sounds good! Sadly his Elvis voice is just about gone!!!

"Am being phony? Is this not really my voice?" 😂😂 The fact that people are stupid enough to believe this is how he really talks now is hilarious.

I think it will sound weird if has this voice in his future film characters, and it will make it much more difficult to escape his iconic Elvis role.

I love how raspy & deep his voice is! Sexy 😉😍

Oh god I wish they’d leave this kid alone. He worked for three years on the bloody thing of course it changed but he was magnificent as Elvis and doesn’t sound anything like him now?! Mad. Within about 5 minutes of loving him and his breathtaking talent the ridicule started. I can’t stand people sometimes

How long have you been a fan of his?

Leave him be. He sounds lovely 🥰

Yeh boy I feel you. Did POTO and messed up my voice bad. Falsetto totally breathy now

When I was in JR High I somehow started laughing like Burt Reynolds, Smokey and the Bandit was out around then. I took me several months to make myself stop doing it, people kept commenting about it and thought I was doing it on purpose, I wasn't, I just picked it up for some reason.

he is definitely starting to sound like himself again

@Austin Butler fool

Elvis is a very good talented old country musician and he's full of some many songs that I can't deal with 🥰🥰he will always be in our heart❤️❤️❤️. Since when have you been listening to Elvis Presley songs?

Elvis’ voice also changed and developed deeper and deeper. It’s the vocal cord damage/adjustment

How long have you been a fan of his?

He has an Iconic voice just like McConaughey does. Thats just one of many things he will be known for.

I love his Elvis voice

Love the suit and shirt. He always has the best style.

Everyone could hear it at the Golden Globes.

Austin sweetie, if you're reading this I want you to know that you are beautiful and your voice is also beautiful..... Don't let haters get to you! They're all insecure men who sound like chipmunks

Hello there, it is I, Mr Austin. Here under an assumed identity for privacy reasons. TY for your kindly words. I shall sing a song for you. Altho you cannot hear it, it sounds beautiful. Farewell dear.

His voice is attractive. It was before and after the film.

We all have different bits of ourselves that we are releasing - great one, Austin!!!!

People that talk about your voice are just jealous that they can't talk like you

exactly my answer, word for word! how long have you been a fan of his?

I think it’s more about the cadence in which he speaks now, that is resembling his Elvis performance. ✨

I know he is sick and tired of that question omg, i like his voice anyways lol

I like his matured husky side of his voice. Very attractive and sexy.

glad that i didn't know how he sounded before his role as Elvis. so this voice here sounds quite natural to me, except that i've expected his voice to be slightly higher.

He has that steal-your-girl voice.

He must have developed some vocal chords callus feom all the training. My youngest son was always screaming and loud. He loved to scream to show excitement and ended up with a hoarse voice and then we found out he developed callus. We tried vocal therapists but it was kinda irreversible.

Bad it made him feel selves conscious. I love that his voice is alittle Elvish. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

GRAHAM WAS SO REAL FOR ASKING ABOUT THE SPEECH THERAPIST AND SAYING NO TO THE ELVIS VOICE

@crazy4corbinbleux Elvis his closet friends and family think differently 🥰 and so do i

its a damn voice... like what are we talking about really... let it be

At least Austin admits it :)

No but seriously his voice is coming back.

Natalie that's exactly my answer, word for word! how long have you been a fan of his?

Good.he sounds better with it. He needs to travel and sing more Elvis

People should get a life and leave Austin alone

Exactly that's what I was saying leave him alone

Austin really can't get rid of his Elvis voice.

Dear Lord, there's just no pleasing people! This man sounds divine! I don't care how much or little he sounds like Elvis. He could make a fortune reading naughty audiobooks!!

How long have you been a fan of his?

I wish the bullies would leave this kind man Austin alone...

I’m not from Alabama or New York, but my parents are and I have both accents now

He even didn’t sound like him what’s wrong with you all 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
