The Yoga Hosers star, 30, worked with vocal coaches all over the world to ensure that his singing voice sounded as much like the rock legend’s as possible. “I sang every day [while preparing and filming] and would do my singing exercises first thing in the morning,” the Shannara Chronicles alum told Entertainment Weekly in June. “[The voice] is really like a muscle. Through filming, I started noticing notes that I couldn’t hit in the beginning, suddenly, now I could hit those notes.”

Absolutely exquisite. Austin Butler channeled and embodied my father’s heart & soul beautifully.”
The Mississippi native, who died in 1977 at age 42, shared Lisa Marie, 54, with ex-wife Priscilla Presley. Elvis and the Dallas alum, 77, were married from 1967 to 1973. In the movie, she is played by Olivia DeJonge, who didn’t meet her until after filming was over. Instead, the 24-year-old read Priscilla’s book to prepare for the role.
“She was just a really, really beautifully caring girl,” the Better Watch Out star told Vogue Australia in June, noting that she wanted to make sure her
