The 'Greatest Showman' actor is working with 'a singing teacher' to help him repair his damaged voice caused by the 'growling and yelling' in the 'X-Men' franchise.

AceShowbiz - Hugh Jackman was left with damaged voice from his role as Wolverine. Playing the role of Logan/Wolverine in the "X-Men" film series between 2000 and 2017, the 54-year-old actor claims that the "growling and yelling" he did for the part wrecked his singing voice.

"My falsetto is not as strong as it used to be and that I directly put down to some of the growling and yelling. My voice teacher in drama school would've been horrified by some of the things I did [in 'Wolverine']," Hugh said on the BBC's "Front Row".

However, "The Greatest Showman" star is working on trying to repair the damage. He said, "We learned the technique [in school] of how to shout and how to yell without ruining your voice. However, during 'Wolverine', I did some screaming and yelling and things that I think did damage my voice, which I think I'm working on. I work with a singing teacher, and I make sure that I try not to hurt myself. And I really put a lot of effort into both physical movement, and my vocal preparation for every role."

Meanwhile, Hugh is set to reprise his role as Logan/Wolverine in the upcoming Shawn Levy-directed "Deadpool 3", starring Ryan Reynolds. He previously said, "A little part of me now thinks I'd be better at it."

"Is that arrogance of age or something? Wolverine's a tortured character - more tortured than me. But I always get the feeling of him being comfortable in his own skin. And I feel more comfortable in my own skin now."
