Netflix show approached him in an earlier season and asked if he could alter his voice to sound more like his seventh-grade character, Will Byers.“It was the peak time of change, and puberty and growing up and just everything was changing with all of us, and the directors were just not loving it,” Schnapp said in an interview with Flaunt. “And I remember one of the producers coming up to me and telling me, ‘Noah, is there any way you could just speak in a higher tone and just slouch a little bit? Like, we need you to keep that Season 1 innocence that you had.’ “While the show’s main cast ranged from around 12 to 14 years old when it premiered in 2016, the show’s filming schedule couldn’t compete with the growth spurts of Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin.
