Guest of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, Jamie Campbell Bell gave a vocal demonstration by taking the voice of Vecna, his character in Stranger Things. And even recited the lyrics to a Lizzo song with that voice.
He traumatized the Hawkins gang in Season 4 of Stranger Things. Maybe fans too. And Jamie Campbell Bower just proved he can vocally transform into a Vecna like flipping a switch. And this, even when he is not wearing the character’s costume, which requires almost eight hours of make-up.
Guest on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ on August 2, the English actor gave a spine-chilling demonstration, reciting a series of famous movie quotes and song lyrics with his voice. deep and sinister of Vecna.
Before this impromptu performance, he explained to the audience his process to find the very particular way of speaking of the nightmarish monster:
“It took me a few months to get it right“, said the actor. “I sat at the reading table with everyone, I sat behind Millie Bobby Brown, and I was doing the voice. It started out sounding very nasal, more or less like Freddie Krueger, and it just didn’t work.
So I went home and worked on it, did a bunch of research on hellraiser and Doug Bradley [l’interprète de Pinhead, ndlr], especially. And it allowed me to kind of bring that deep voice out of the darkness.Bower added that his background as a singer helped him find the serious, gritty tone he was aiming for.
At the request of Jimmy Fallon, Jamie Campbell Bower then grabbed a microphone and took his voice from Vecna to deliver lines from cult films including Notting Hill and Titanic as well as a cereal commercial. The actor even recited a verse from the song About Damn Time by Lizzo.
Even if the performance is worth the detour, we suspect that there is a transformation of his voice thanks to the microphone he uses. Watch the video below where Rose addresses Jack in Vecna’s voice:
