Remember when a Black woman wrote a personal essay about OutKast and a magazine inexplicably hired some white guy to read it? I think about it twice a week. Really goes for it with GUSTO!

Did NOBODY stop Kevin here and explain that a dude who's natural voice makes him sound like a townie in a Stephen King story should not try to read this in his terrible "southern black woman" voice just because he thinks this is his chance to shine?
i got one sentence in and hearing what is the whitest dude I've ever heard do an aave accent is sending me. theres a reason i havent as a fucking white girl recited morgan parker publically even though she slaps.
This is what listening to the audio books of the Sprawl trilogy is like. Those books invented cyberpunk, but each one has a white dude doing an impression of various caribbean accents for long stretches of time lmao
And narration gigs are hard to get because there are so many actors who want them, so there's a big talent pool to choose from. They just didn't bother looking.
Really ramp it up! Don’t be afraid to GO for it. You’re channeling the passion of a strong proud black woman, it honestly would be more racist to just do some boring old white guy voice, I promise! 😃
