What is Mickey Barnes supposed to sound like?
Hes gone lower when playingBatmanand for his California drawl inMap to the Stars.
Weve seen physical chameleons gaining and losing weight or piling on a bunch of prosthetics.
Or is this just another put-on?
Pattinsons best and weirdest voice appears in a film in which hes never physically present onscreen.
In the English dub of Hayao MiyazakisThe Boy and the Heron, Pattinson lends theheronanunsavory croak.
That same approach, perhaps, explains why Pattinson pushes himself to sound different from role to role.
If 17s voice is Stimpys, 18s is more like Ren, as Pattinson toldEmpire.
The actor lowers his voice slightly, granting the newer Mickey a more confident, brusque personality.
Its not that hes afraid of what he sees but of what he hears.
