Q for You
Natural Readers
Sometimes you need a voiceover situation without paying an actor, but sometimes it’s nice having something read aloud to you. Especially when you can throw a spicy accent on it. Natural Readers is a text-to-speech converter that isn’t just fast, but also smooooth. You can use it online for instant doc reading, or use the Chrome extension for online content as well. It’s free to use with tons of voice options including different accents and tones. But their premium voices are, no joke, smooth as butter. Give it a listen!

Mom Spice
This star-studded ad has actors Gabrielle Dennis and Deon Cole with the one and only Patti LaBelle as his mother-in-law. LaBelle has been helping herself to Cole’s Old Spice, as MILs do. It’s pretty cute and nothing beats the robe visual, but what’s interesting is the fangirling reaction happening about Miss Patti in this ad. And honestly, can you blame ’em?
