But the days of Elvis’s scratchy twang may be behind him for good.

It made me self-conscious for a second because I thought, Am I being phony?

Is this not my voice?

Austin Butler is getting rid of Elvis accent

He added, to the relief of fans, I am getting rid of the accent.

Back in June, Butler explained that the voice was simply a habit he couldn’t break.

That was the voice I spoke in for two years, he toldYahoo!

It was so habitual.

You get done and you kinda don’t remember what your natural voice is.

In January, Butler’s ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgensreactedto a post on Instagram addressing Butler’s accent.

Elvisis nominated for severalAcademy Awardsthis year, including a best actor nod for Butler.

I think it’s only fair to let him deliver his acceptance speech in the accent should he win.

Just one last time.
