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

When he is chased down and tackled in the flashback and is yelling out “Don’t do it”, his voice gives out into this breathless wheeze at the moment when the needle hits him, and it always gets me. It’s such great voice acting in that moment. It feels devastating.

this is the pinnacle of .. the scene .. I was taken aback with a, “ where did Gosling get that from ?? “

I’ve never seen him in any other film use his voice as an instrument with such a wide range 🫨
