Voice actor seamlessly demonstrates 10 different voices we all recognize and holy moly This is genuinely impressive…and a little spooky. In the age of television, radio, and the internet, we hear voices all the time, pretty much everywhere we go. From advertisements to customer service prompts to video narrations, voiceovers have become so commonplace that we don’t give them much thought. That is, until we see someone actually doing those voices we’re so accustomed to hearing. Professional voice actor Tawny Platis shared a video to her Tiktok demonstrating 10 voices most of us will instantly recognize, and it’s as uncanny as it is impressive.

One strange reality of life is that there’s a lot that happens behind the scenes of…well, everything…that people simply never know about. I’m not talking about deep state conspiracies here or anything, just normal run-of-the-mill industry secrets that only people who work in those industries knows. Some of these “secrets” are actual secrets meant to be kept sacred, like how certain magic tricks work. Some are things we don’t really want to know, like how the sausage gets made.

We’re all curious, though, about what goes on in the back room, behind the counter, under the radar, etc. So when someone on Reddit asked “What industry ‘secret’ do you know that most people don’t?” people flocked to answer—and to see what people said.

One traveling couple just made deciding a whole heck of a lot easier. Matt and Karen Smith have been to all of them. That’s right. All 63 of them.

Actress Julia Roberts was late to the game when it came to joining social media, so she was blown away when she finally saw first-hand how toxic it could be. She started an Instagram account in June of 2018 and, shortly after, was the target of trolls mocking her appearance in a post by her niece. Roberts was upset about the negative comments people made about her looks and then was gutted when she considered social media’s effect on young women. In a 2018 interview with Oprah Winfrey for Harper’s Bazaar, Julia recounted the story. “Although something did happen recently on my niece Emma’s Instagram that I think taught me a lot about what it’s like being a young person in today’s society. One weekend morning Emma slept over, and we got up and were having tea and playing cards and having this beautiful morning, and then a couple of days later, she posted a picture of us,” Roberts recalled.
