He did an interview on NPR's Fresh Air around last summer where Terry Gross made him discuss it since he was doing it right before the interview

Here's the clip of the scene they are talking about. Couldn't find it in the comments.

Video's flipped - like watching Graham Norton via a mirror.

Memorable scene though, interesting to hear about how it came about.

Humming does actually help to "lower ones voice" like Matthew was saying. Im a 24 yr old guy with a deep voice, but when i get nervous/hyped up my voice immidietely transforms into a lighter boy-ish voice; humming as 'deep' as you can will help with regaining the real voice.

Matthew is fantastic as Rust Cohle in HBO True Detective. His mannerisms and the way he delivers his dialogue is superb. I feel he for sure beats his chest to drop his voice for True Detective. He owns the scenes in True Detective where in present time he is being questioned.

I just want to hang out and beat chests with Matthew McConaughey

Preferably with both our shirts off

Sounds like it was really in there because of Leo

Alan Davies saying "and now, cocaine." was brilliant

Julianne Moore is still so, so, so bangable.
