Why the hell does Austin Butler still talk like this?

Old voice

Is like my "old" sexuality. Discarded when no longer profitable.

There are only two explanations:

1. He is Autistic.

2. He is really Russell Mulcahy

He's older - Just sounds deeper.

R3 Russell do you know Austin? Was he up for Teen Wolf? Did he refuse to put out?

R1 in all the before videos he’s trying to talk loud to be heard above the crowd and in the after videos he’s talking much quieter.

OP you are making up stuff.

He doesn’t sound different just deeper. Probably a smoker.

Roy Fitzgerald's manager thought his voice was too effeminate. Had him bark like a dog for a week. It scarred his vocal cords but deepened his voice into the masculine Rock Hudson voice and made his career. The old studios had vocal coaches that taught starlets how to speak. Wonder who did an Ava Gardner makeover on Butler? His gay agent James Farrell at William Morris Endeavor no doubt. He also did the sexuality makeover on his other client Nicholas Galitzine.

R8 Tru dat

He takes himself really serious. I was surprised how good he was in Elvis even if the movie sucked. But he is profoundly unlikable on the screen playing an ordinary person. He's inauthentic

I hear some vocal cord damage more than it being deeper.

Say what you will about Timmy but rat boy has his own natural voice.

If he showed us what was under these shorts, all would be forgiven.

r11 "He takes himself really serious."

Oh, dear!

R9 Russell

How fucking gay are you?

R14: Another minimal talent who thinks he's above doing nudity.

His voice is just deeper.

But honestly who cares? Marilyn Monroe didn’t actually have a breathy voice.

R16 Bon appetit fou.

Austin is so hot. Too bad he's straight.

R20: He’s a fake climber and I don’t think he’s attractive at all.

R1, you don't seem to have noticed that the clips in which Butler is speaking in his higher-pitched voice were from interviews done outside in the open air, which would naturally require more volume and a somewhat higher pitch for projection against background noise, whereas the clips with the lower voice were from interviews in enclosed studios.

Now that I've pointed something you should have noticed, will you change your opinion?

[quote]I hear some vocal cord damage more than it being deeper.

I don't hear that at all. And if you're talking about vocal fry, which I also don't hear, that's not caused by vocal cord damage.
