Wolverine Character Takes A Vocal Toll On Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine journey spanned seventeen years, making him synonymous with the X-Men character. However, the intense growling and yelling took a toll on his vocal cords.
In an interview with the BBC, Jackman revealed, “My falsetto is not as strong as it used to be, and that I directly put down to some of the growling and yelling… We learned a technique in school of how to shout and how to yell without ruining your voice. However, during Wolverine, I did some screaming and yelling and things that I think did damage to my voice.”
The actor acknowledged the damage caused during his Wolverine era, affecting his ability to hit the high notes.
