“I Was Rejected for Roles as a Kid Because of My Husky Voice,” Recalls Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson’s husky voice, which has become her trademark, caused her to face job rejections in the early days of her career. The Hollywood actress, who made her debut at the age of nine in the film North, initially aspired to work in musical theatre. However, her deep voice led to casting directors repeatedly turning her down. Scarlett shared with Candis magazine that she had trained as a singer when she was young but eventually decided to pursue acting instead.

Scarlett Johansson has revealed that her distinctively husky voice was a major obstacle for her in getting acting roles when she was younger. Despite being a cute blonde girl, she would often be turned down after opening her mouth to speak in auditions. Her deep voice sounded as though she had a sore throat, leading many casting directors to ask her about it. However, Scarlett’s unique voice has since become her trademark style.

Conversation: “I used to attend auditions when I was a young girl with blonde hair. People would think I was cute and perfect for the role until I spoke, and my deep voice surprised them. I remember saying things like ‘This product is fantastic! Buy it.’ It was quite amusing.” At the age of 14, she recalls this moment.

Scarlett Johansson says that people have become accustomed to her husky voice, which has even been referred to as her trademark. She revealed that her voice has become smoother over the years.

She admires his humor and finds it an important aspect in a partner, given her upbringing in a household that appreciated humor. Scarlett has been married twice before, to journalist-turned-art curator Romain Dauriac from 2014 to 2017 and actor Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011.
