Is Austin Butler Really Singing in 'Elvis'? Baz Luhrmann Reveals Which Moments Use His Voice!

Baz wrote on Instagram, “The response to Austin’s version of Trouble has been tremendous but so many of you still ask, ‘is it Austin singing?’ I feel I haven’t been clear enough in conveying that Austin sings all of the young Elvis in the movie, so forgive me.”

He continued, “I thought you might find this very early camera (2019) test fascinating as Austin and the guys are just jamming while we test our lenses. Even before his two years of vocal studies I feel that Austin is channeling the vocal qualities of Elvis. Thank you @austinbutler for letting me share this early test to give the fans an insight into your journey.”

Elvis‘ granddaughter Riley Keough also shared the clip and said, “One of the most remarkable parts to me about Elvis that people may not know (because he’s done such an fantastic job) is that Austin Butler is singing all of the early Elvis vocals himself. Baz shared this clip today from an early screen test of Austin that I wanted to repost because what he was able to do is just so beautiful.”

Austin has opened up about being rushed to the hospital after he wrapped on the movie.
