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

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.

Funny but the "Voice In My Head" always seems to have an echo......I wonder what that could mean?  |

The "Voice in My Head" is Mike Rowe doing his best Morgan Freeman.

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...
