In an interview with the BBC’s Front Row, Jackman revealed that his falsetto is not as strong as it used to be. We attribute this directly to the physical demands we’ve made to portray Wolverine over the past 23 years. 

“I’ve done some damage to my voice as Wolverine,” he said. “My voice teacher in drama school would’ve been horrified by some of the things I did [as Wolverine].”

Jackman’s voice has been an important part of his career, appearing in Les Miserables, The Greatest Showman, Oklahoma!. He has received critical acclaim and numerous awards for his work in these productions. However, his stint as Wolverine seems to have had a lasting impact.
