Look what happened.

Alright, you asked for it. If this gets enough retweets I'll record it. Using my real voice. https://t.co/hg5ssu7TdJ

And so he did it (after the occasional technical challenge).

I’ve recorded it. Seriously though how do you upload a sound file onto Twitter? https://t.co/InehIj7CPl

Et voila! I did it in quite a serious mode. I guess it felt like a pretty important story. @louistherouxbot pic.twitter.com/5wCYevz5Mo
