Last week, Eddie came to the Bobby Bones Show saying he was going to be an international star. Toyota asked him to voice a commercial in Spanish.
However, Eddie sin’t the “most Mexican” one on the show, Mike D is because he’s fluent in Spanish. Eddie admitted that growing up his parents talked to him in Spanish, but he talked back in English so he could understand the language but speaking it was difficult. Without thinking much into it, Eddie agreed to do the Toyota commercial but when he got the script he freaked out. He didn’t know what a lot of the words were or what the spot was trying to sell. Mike D had to help him out with what some of the words meant and how to pronounce them.
Eddie shared audio of his recording, which the show thought sounded ok but it had some cheesiness to it. Mike D admitted it didn’t sound that great, but he thinks if Eddie tweaks some of his emphasis on words it would sound much better. Bobby added that he thought Eddie’s commerical sounded more American than when Mike D read some of it. Mike D added that if Eddie also works on the flow of the words, it won’t sound quite as cheesy.
