When we think of Hollywood actors who transform into their film roles, we usually imagine someone who lost a ton of weight like Anne Hathaway in Les Miserables, or someone who gained pounds and pounds of muscle, like Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, or Chris Evans for their Marvel characters… really, all of the Chris-es. Or we hear incredible tales of actors who gave up everything and completely changed their lives to get into character, like Daniel Day Lewis or Shia LeBoeuf. But what we rarely think about is how much the best actors are able to transform their voices, in order to get lost in a part. But really, when you are famous and have a very recognizable voice, one of the best ways to become a character is to not sound just like yourself. Some of these amazing transformations that come to mind are the subtle yet very important ways that Elizabeth Olsen changes her voice to play Wanda Maximoff. Or how Margot Robbie’s Australian accent completely disappears into Harley Quinn. Natalie Portman not only changed the sound of her voice, but its entire rhythm and cadence to play Jackie O, just like Michelle Willams did to take on Marilyn Monroe. Christian Bale and Robert Pattinson made bold choices when it came to Batman, and so did Heath Ledger and Jared Leto to play his nemesis, The Joker. We can’t forget Tom Hardy as Bane, Andy Serkis as Gollum, and how Lupita Nyong’ completely transformed her voice for her incredible performance in Us.
