Boman Martinez-Reid takes the Gaydar hot seat and hands over the vocal trick behind The Bodashians.
In brief
Boman Martinez-Reid takes the Gaydar hot seat and hands over the vocal trick behind The Bodashians. The Kardashian voice is a rhythm, not an accent. Start with a word like 'Bible' and let your pitch land in the wrong places. Originally reported by Mashable.
Bomanizer takes the hot seat
Anania's latest Gaydar episode puts creator Boman Martinez-Reid, aka Bomanizer, through the game. He is also a Mashable 101 alum.
The questions get weird
What's gay about Canada? What's the male equivalent of getting bangs? Who makes your personal Mount Rushmore? The episode runs on that kind of question.
The man behind The Bodashians
Boman created The Bodashians, the TikTok series that reimagines everyday life as a Kardashian reality show. That is the résumé he brings to the test.
Start with one word
His trick is a mental warm-up word before you speak. Say it in your head and the cadence follows.
“For me, the starter word I say in my head is 'Bible.'”
It's rhythm, not accent
The sound comes from where your pitch rises, not from vowels or a regional twang. Put the lift in the spots that feel wrong and you're there.
“There's a rhythm to it. You go up in the wrong spots.”
Now try it yourself
Say 'Bible' in your head, then talk. Mashable runs the Gaydar series alongside its wider creator coverage on how internet voices build their platforms.
What matters most
The Kardashian voice is a rhythm, not an accent. Start with a word like 'Bible' and let your pitch land in the wrong places.
