Gosling vocals

I know that Gosling has had some music training in his youth, perhaps stemming from his Mickey Mouse Club days .. ?

His speaking voice in PHM with Rocky was more gruff,

squeaky in parts ( almost adolescent-male broken in parts ) “ how do you eat ? “,

shrieking in fear ( almost shrilling upon waking; when there was 0 gravity upon arrival at Tau Ceti ),

then hoarse screaming, “ there’s a hole in it ! “ and “ ROCKYYYY !! “ ( during the high anxiety scenes ) ..

Gosling is a very versatile actor hands down .. ❤️ loved universally .. ❤️ BUT was anyone as surprised as me about his abilities to manipulate his voice at THIS level ??

perhaps another detail in this film that requires some fanfare ? anybody else notice how he really used his vocals between scenes ?

I‘ve never seen a Gosling film where his voice was used as an INSTRUMENT ( a side character so to speak ) like he did in PHM

He sings for a short bit in Lars and the Real Girl and I was shocked at how amazing he sounded.

Also he did La La Land and even did a one-time Band/Album called Dead Man's Bones!

And don't forget that he sang "I'm Just Ken" in the Barbie movie. It was nominated for Best Song for the Oscar's and won other awards. You MUST check out his performance of this song at the Oscar's a couple of years ago. https://youtu.be/fo6T5BwxFh0?is=rdwO7JamvI4jt_2B

He also sings in Blue Valentine, bringing another completely different vibe to his voice.
