Amanda Seyfried

“You’re not being untruthful because you’re deepening your voice. She needed it.”

THE ONE THING PEOPLE THINK OF WHEN THEY HEAR THE NAME ELIZABETH Holmes, the disgraced Theranos entrepreneur convicted of fraud, is her voice, which Holmes artificially made lower. “We collectively (March 3). “But you’re not being untruthful because you’re deepening your voice. She needed it. It wasn’t just the fact that she was a charismatic genius and ambitious. It was that she had to present herself in a specific way.” One thing Seyfried did focus on was all the material about Holmes at her disposal. “I didn’t have anything of her real life, but I had 10 hours of depositions. I had the interviews and then I had the one when things had come crashing down. All of a sudden I became this eager college student.” In the end, she came to realize Holmes was more nuanced than she’s made out to be. “She was very passionate and very ambitious. She truly believed she was gonna get there. She was going too fast.”
