Lupita Nyong'o faces backlash for 'Us' voice after using a neurological disorder as her inspiration.
The movement disorder reportedly affects 50,000 in the United States, according to the"I studied that," Nyong'o shared on the condition. "I worked with an ear, nose and throat doctor, a vocal therapist and my dialect coach to make sure that I could do it and do it safely because I had two roles to play. I couldn't afford to damage my voice."
She said she didn't hurt her voice in the process because the sound she channeled was inspired by the condition and not an "exact replica." "While I was practicing and figuring it out, I definitely scratched my throat a few times," she added. "By the time we got to filming it, I was pretty set on how it should go and I was very good at warming up my voice and cooling it down."
Dr. Mark Courey, chief of laryngology for the Mount Sinai Health System, said, "when they speak certain words trigger their voice box to slam," on those affected with the condition. However, Nyong'o using the condition as inspiration for her character's voice is rubbing some people actually living with the condition the wrong way.From what I have read you have chosen to change your voice to sound like someone with spasmodic dysphonia. I sooo appreciate my condition being used as inspiration for your evil character. Not!!!!! Ignorance rules!!
