'Stranger Things' actor Jamie Campbell Bower makes Lizzo sound sinister with Vecna's voice
Stranger Things actor Jamie Campbell Bower has spoken to Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon about Vecna's lengthy prosthetic makeup routine, as well as developing the villain's sinister voice.
"It took a few months to get [the voice] right," said Campbell Bower, noting that he got the role of Season 4's main antagonist two months before the first read through in March 2020.
"I was there at the table read with everyone, I sat behind Millie [Bobbie Brown], and I was doing the voice. It started in this very nasally area, kind of more like Freddie Krueger, and it just wasn't landing. So I went home and worked on it, did a bunch of reference work on like, Hellraiser and Doug Bradley particularly. And it said that, you know, this deep, booming voice kind of comes out of the darkness."
Of course, Fallon then had Campbell Bower use his Vecna voice to read some very un-Vecnalike phrases, including some Lizzo lyrics.
Hahahahha I love him!!!!! 😂
ReplyDeletethe way brings up the names of everyone they're talking about, giving them credits and talking so good about them is just so admirable of him, he's truly the best, love you Jamie <3
ReplyDeleteHe's just himself, He's naturally adorable
Deletehe's so humble and so sweet :,)
DeleteSomeone cast him for a Bowie biopic! He would be perfect, probably one of the only actors/musicians around who could do it!
ReplyDelete❤️
DeleteThat or a Kurt Cobain biopic.
DeleteOoh, you're right, he has more of Cobain look to him than Bowie, though he's definitely WAY nicer looking than Cobain ever was. But I could see him doing Bowie, too.
DeleteHell yeaaahhhh... There's something about him that screams Bowie.
DeleteI feel so ecstatic for him! Finally, after years of being in the industry, his talent and amazing performance would finally get the long-awaited recognition. Looking forward to his future endeavors and hoping that his career would skyrocket. Jamie's such a gem, I'm in awe of this beautiful human being!
ReplyDeleteJamie ALWAYS credits the make up and costumes artists whenever asked about the process to become Vecna, if that isn’t just another reason to love him, idk what else to say lol!
ReplyDeleteright?! he's so humble and so sweet!
DeleteHearing Vecna say "I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" has made my life whole 🤣 For reals though, Jamie is incredible! Oh, and if you haven't seen the videos where they talk about getting him in costume, you should go find them asap. It's insane how much of it is real.
ReplyDeleteHe’s honestly gorgeous, his portrayal of vecna is honestly amazing and overall impressive. He deserves many awards for this roll. He also seems like such a sweetheart as well! He definitely has deserved this recognition!! Love him🤗
ReplyDeleteThere are no words to describe how much I love this man. Been here since his Mortal Instruments days and ever since I've been a HUGE fan and have been /praying/ he'd blow up like this. Jamie Campbell Bower is a national treasure. That is all.
ReplyDeleteThere is no stranger in this world, but there is no time to meet, do you say?
DeleteJamie really knocked it out the park this season. Glad he's starting to become even more recognized than before. Man has talent.
ReplyDeleteSo there is this really good looking guy, who also seems to have a really nice and funny personality, who is been into acting and singing for quite some time, and than he gets his break through as a an unrecognisable monster! And I like his style, the rings and all.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love how he can make everything scary just using his voice!
Jamie needs to be in more musicals. Loved him in Sweeney Todd.
ReplyDeleteThere is no stranger in this world, but there is no time to meet, do you say?
DeleteSweeney Todd is amazing
DeleteSeeing Jamie Bower back doing interviews has fulfilled my soul
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy he is finally getting the attention that he deserves, Jamie is so talented and charismatic, he is a natural. Been loving him since the mortal instruments...
ReplyDeleteyeeeesss, exactly
DeleteHonestly Jamie is the most amazing person ever. He’s so chill, kind, and absolutely hilarious! I wish I was born earlier, so I could be best friends with him😅❤️
ReplyDeleteThe vocal arrangement is actually insane made me feel like someone put a soundtrack over the mic every time he talked cause like there’s no way he could easily sound like that.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it either! 😅
Deletehe's an incredible actor. so impressed with how he prepared the voice for vecna.
ReplyDeleteThere is no stranger in this world, but there is no time to meet, do you say?
DeleteI didn't realize his Vecna voice was exactly how it sounds in the show 😵 I thought there was some voice changer effects added. Holy crap his voice can get so deep!
ReplyDeleteI love how Jimmy loves Stranger Things, he has invited the cast one by one, I'd really love if he could have them all just for once, including the Duffers, but I suppose their agendas are full and that would be a whole show just for them, but that would be awesome, this cast is amazing
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for him!!! Seeing him smile and enjoy like this brings me so much joy... I've fan a fan of Jamie since Sweeney Todd, and I admire the path he's building with his acting and his music...
ReplyDelete"Everything just feels not real right now" , he is so humbled by our love, attention. He is thrilled Everytime he talks about it. You deserve the hype Jamie ❤️
ReplyDeleteHis Vecna voice alone deserves awards.
ReplyDeleteNooo I wish they wouldn't have put a voice filter on his Vecna voice, he sounds incredible just doing it naturally!!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is straight up giving the make-up artists names on the spot! He deserves an Os...Emmy, right?
ReplyDeleteI think this guy would make a good choice for David Bowie when they inevitably make a biopic of him. Anyone else?
ReplyDeleteIt’s so funny to hear him talk about being part of something so huge after being part of Harry Potter and Twilight franchises. Obviously, there was a leap in role prominence, but he’s certainly lucked out in the huge franchise following department. Can’t wait to see where his career goes - both acting and music. What a talent.
ReplyDeleteJamie’s humour is just awesome. That’s why we all love him !
ReplyDeleteHe has a natural charisma you don't find very often, yet he also has the artistic talent to go with it. Cool dude for sure
ReplyDeleteLast fight https://youtu.be/Jh4WwI4G-6E
DeleteHe reminds me of Depp in style, eloquence, artistry, and overall vibe
Deletewell his first movie was with Depp so maybe he trained under him for a while :)?
DeleteHis mother must be so proud, he's massively talented in so many ways, such a favorite but best of all are his humility, manners, sweetness, so adorable & funny! 💖💖
ReplyDeleteAlmost 6 years being a fan of this man, God I love that he is being much more recognized!
ReplyDeleteEver since seeing him in “Sweeney Todd,” every once in a while for the past 2 decades, I go, “when’s this guy gonna blow up?” Thank GOD the moment is here 🙏🏼
ReplyDeleteSeeing him do the vecna voice will never not be insane he’s so talented 🤯
ReplyDeleteO Jamie é muito carismático! A risada dele é muito contagiante <3
ReplyDeleteI'm mildly upset that people are just now learning who Jamie Campbell Bower is! He's been doing awesome things for years.❤️
ReplyDeleteI’m so proud of him. It took 8 hours to get into that costume and he did it. I couldn’t imagine another actor as vecna! He did great!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a pity they only get like 10 minutes to talk to their guests
ReplyDeleteWe would've loved to see much more
He deserves an Oscar for his voice 🔥😂 it’s so fab
ReplyDeleteHe's living the dream right now, he deserves all the blessings that he's receiving! Jamie's so humble and talented.
ReplyDeletehis vecna voice singing a lizzo song is a masterpiece 😭
ReplyDeleteI was smiling throughout this video! Such a charismatic man my goodness!
ReplyDeleteEver since watching him in the mortal instruments film I’ve been in love with his acting performance and personality. I’m so glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves!
ReplyDeleteI love Jamie😂❤️ He’s so outgoing and funny, his personality is just so likeable. That Vecna voice was spot on, I thought he would need more time to prepare, but no, he’s just that talented🤩
ReplyDeleteI love how he names every one of those guys who did his vecna 'makeover' in each and every interview
ReplyDeleteMad respect for Jamie especially after he talked about his struggles with addiction publicly. I honestly felt he was the standout in Stranger Things season 4 easily as well as Eddie Munson.
ReplyDeleteLast fight https://youtu.be/Jh4WwI4G-6E
DeleteYes exactly
DeleteI love how openly he has discussed his addiction. Mad respect indeed.
DeleteJamie’s finally gettin his respect, dudes gonna go down as one of the best when it’s all said and done
ReplyDeleteI've been a fan of his for years , I have loved and followed everything he has done. I am so proud of the recognition and praise that he's receiving. He deserves it and his music is amazing also , follwed his old band Counterfeit and even saw them live in Austin Tx which was one of the greatest moments for me .♥️♥️
ReplyDeleteLove him. He's so talented.
ReplyDeletejamie's vecna voice is unbelievable
ReplyDeletehe's so talented, must protect him at all costs
I’ve loved him ever since he played jace in city of bones and throughout the books that’s exactly how I imagine Jace. I’m so glad he’s finally getting the attention and admiration he deserves cause he’s a GREAT actor 😭😭🥰🥰🥰
ReplyDeleteJamie was incredible as vecna Henry and 001 so glad he is finally getting notice he deserves after years of acting love him love his singing voice ♥️
ReplyDeleteJimmy is an amazing interviewer and always brings up their solo projects or accomplishments. Truly admirable.
ReplyDeleteThat is why celebrities always feel welcome with Jimmy. With other late nights, it is more focus on the press tour only.
DeleteI’m so glad that he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves
ReplyDeleteJamie is sooo talented and dedicated I'm soooo sooo excited to see him in future movies and shows
ReplyDeleteSo thrilled after years of loving his music and following his roles to see him getting the attention he deserves!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy he's getting recognised for his work..! I love him really much. He's so talented and deserving. Thanks Tonight Show for this. Ily Jamie. Grow and glow
ReplyDeleteMan this dude killed it as the villain this season! Stranger Things is my favorite tv show! I loved his performance. I remember when he was in the Volturi in Twilight. He’s come a long way, he’s an amazing actor! Way before the season came out, just by watching the trailer I knew he was Vecna all along. No matter how many prosthetics he had on him, I recognized the actor’s eyes and knew who it was. Man I would love to meet him someday! 👏🏻🤩♥️🕰⏳🦇

Deletei find it so impressive how he has so much control over his vocal range that he can just go into the voice, now i knew it was him but its just amazing how he can do it still. he really is so talented.
ReplyDeleteMan I loved this guy for a decade... so glad to see him getting the love he deserves!!
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe he can do that with his voice. He's so incredibly talented I can't -
ReplyDeleteOMG I CAN'T BEGIN TO EXPLAIN how much I love this man. I've been a fan since the beginning and he's finally getting everything he deserves. And how freaking unreal is his talent? Can't believe it's his actual voice !!
ReplyDeleteit is insainly impressive that his voice can go that deep

By all the comments in the other Tonight Show post and here, people were sooo ready to be Running Up That Hill to see Jamie Campbell Bower on the program. So glad the show has given so many people a chance to hear this iconic song.
"And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I only could, oh"
