On which planet would the person who wrote the following voice spec live?

Quote:
Male, 30-40’s, A wise and commanding voice that has a natural echo to it.

Makes me think of the old He-man cartoon (seriously, why did He-Man and Skeletor's voice always echo?)

Because they were speaking to you from another dimension, and multipath is hell from there.

That's "multipath" and not "Multi-Pass," thank you.

Everything becomes animated hero with reverb.

Try this.

Direction. - Deep, intense, stare at the listener. It is the only thing they need to know.

Maybe they mean "echo" in a metaphorical way? Like a voice that echoes or resonates with the listener.

Perhaps I'm clutching at straws here...
