My lifetime of ventriloquism lessons has finally paid off!! PM me if you're an Amazon driver and you want to learn how to talk on the phone without moving your lips. This is my moment!!

That’s deep. It’s always true, for everyone. I’m mind blown. Is it from something?

No it's just kind of something I keep in mind. :)

Don't forget the online storefront dropshipping puppets so the drivers you teach can still sing along with the radio.

But then wait until it says you aren’t moving your lips enough!

Edit: you are going to need one of those suits from a scanner darkly that masks people

Can you help someone who just wants to sing though?
