I know it would mean the world to him...
Many of the languages spoken by the Nguni people of southern Africa as well as the San people have a range of click sounds.
In this video, Sakhile Dube from St Lucia in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, demonstrates how these click sounds are pronounced in the Zulu language.
He has an epic voice :)

The voice meant to narrate the universe, the smile meant to light it up

The hard part about those click sounds isn't just making the actual sound. It's incorporating them flawlessly and seamlessly into words

His voice is made for Radio

Finally the algorithm gets me

I'm an opera singer and let me tell you, THIS VOICE is one in a million! How beautiful, how exceptional, how rare! I wonder if he sings?

Not only does this guy have a fantastic speaking voice, but he's also a gifted explainer. He made everything very clear and gave excellent examples every step of the way. That's not common.

It’s like speaking language in 3D. Very interesting and unique.

Wow this man should be narrating literally everything. What a voice! What a teacher!

This man needs to be hired to narrate a documentary on Zulu history and culture.

It would be wild to hear him pronounce some Aztec names in the same way, like Xochiquetzal or Tezcatlipoca 😂

Great voice!

A voice as deep as an ocean, a smile as bright as the sky

Seriously, though, this person rivals the BEST professor I ever had, who was teaching Russian Linguistics at Georgetown University. This is unparalleled. The level of physical expression of sound he conveys is worth....I don't even know what. ARE THE PROCEEDS OF THIS VIDEO BEING SHARED WITH THIS PERSON??! THEY NEED TO BE SHARED WITH THIS PERSON!!!!!!!

His smile is encouraging, wholesome and can take all the pains away! Thank you.
