'The voice is the foundation. If you don’t, it’s like you’re missing the whole thing.” How Amanda Seyfried found her (deep) voice as Elizabeth Holmes in TheDropout
So, how did she do it?
At Theranos’ zenith, Holmes became known for her personal style, which seemed poised for mythmaking. Like Jobs, she adopted the black turtleneck, though she preferred pairing it with black pants rather than jeans and punctuated the monochromatic look with bright red lipstick. Her blond hair was usually ironed straight or pulled back into a messy chignon.
The limited series takes the position that it’s part of the ruse. Seyfried’s take on Holmes’s distinctive voice comes barely a minute into the first episode of “The Dropout,” during a scene where she’s participating in an interview well into Theranos’ rise. But the narrative quickly journeys back to Holmes’ pre-Theranos, pre-voice origin story.
“I went full force into finding out everything I could,” she added. “There was this huge [encyclopedia], that’s still actually on my desktop, of all the information that had been collected over the two years of research during the development phase of ‘The Dropout’ ... The thing that really helped with the voice and how that evolved for me was the deposition, because it was so many hours, and I could just play it on loop. I had them all on my desktop, little thumbnails.
While she didn’t work with her vocal coach, Liz Caplan, for this project — their collaboration tends to focus on singing — Seyfried did seek her advice early on because she was worried she was causing damage to her vocal cords.
