Voice of America Voiceover By Taylor Mali www.taylormali.com
Dedicated to the guy who said that more people would hear my voice on radio commercials and movie trailers than would ever hear me recite a single word of my own poetry
In a world where 90% of all the commercial voiceover work goes to white men between the ages of 25 and 40 came a man, a white man, age 25 to 40, with nothing but a message as clear and distinct as his naturally trustworthy unaccented voice.
Herpes, herpes, herpes, herpes, herpes. It's easy to say five times fast, but it's hard to say even once to the people who need to hear it most: Your children. They want to grow up to be just like you. So make sure they learn to appreciate the beauty of all wheel drive. Because kids who try marijuana before the age of 15 are seven times more likely to recommend Trident to their patients who own guns. Did somebody say Burger King: when you have it your way, it just tastes like nationwide long distance. Now with more moisturizer and an extra drop of retsin for that deep down-bodied thirst.
Remember: They're rubber and you're glue, and everything you say can and will be used against you on an episode of Law & Order: Special Fashion Victims' Unit. So pay less with Boom, tough-actin' Tenactin and Zoom zoom zoom!
Corporations use advertisements to manipulate and confuse you. Sticks and stones can break your bones but some words are designed to confuse you.
Why do I get the big bucks? Because I can say things like: "Here to discuss the issues facing small businesses and international corporations with an eye toward implementing an overseas marketing strategy be it via the internet or more traditional B2B scenarios is Bruce Chase, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Foreign and Domestic Commercial Operations with the US Department of Commerce" without messing up once or even cracking a smile.
Do you know where your children are? Do you Yahoo? Do you remember when we used to dance? And incidents arose from circumstance? One look at the new Chevy S-10 and you'll be asking yourself, "Is Viagara right for me?" Look, I'm 43 years old and I'm in better shape now than I was when I was in theaters everywhere. White men: they're everywhere you want to be, and Raid takes the poison back to their nest and kills them where they live.
I'm not a poet, but I play one on Def Poetry Jam. I'm not a dead white male, but two out of three ain't bad.
So on those days when you're not feeling fresh, come to Jamaica. Because on the road of life there are passengers And there are poets like me. Can you hear me now?
Don't the words confuse you. Don't let the lies fill you. Cause sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can fucking kill you.
Yeah bitches can yeah feel that can yea!!!! *cough* kay just wanted to say that. There are others i really like but for now this will do.
