I never noticed this before with people who use an electrolarynx but you can still kinda hear the subtle nuances of his Wisconsin accent....

There are different devices that people who have had a laryngectomy can use to help them speak. In this video, Shane is using an electrolarynx.

The voice sounds like from the song stop the rock. I know it's sounds bad but it kinda is cool to listen.

when I was young I saw like 20 people in a room speaking with those vabratiey things and they all had weird holes in their necks, so I ask all of you to pray to the people who are addicted and need to wear those things, thanks for the help.

I don't smoke. Never will. As dark hearted cruel person not to animals or humans. I cried when I saw this.
