You too can talk backwards: 1/ record your voice saying something 2/ play the recording in reverse and imitate it (this can take a couple of tries) 3/ then record yourself speaking backwards It's more fun if in step 3 you do something that would seem weird in reverse, like pouring a glass. Then you play that video in reverse, and you have something strange: you saying things in a weird but intelligible voice, while the liquid goes back to the bottle.

This could become a party trick: memorise 20 seconds of reverse speech, invite others to record and reverse it

The Muffs (the band) had a song with the ol' reverse vocal studio gimmick [1]. On a lark I pulled it into Audacity and reversed it to confirm that it was in fact one of the lines from the chorus in reverse. Hilariously, she would sing the line in reverse when live on stage [2] as well. (No doubt she memorized the line from the studio recording.)

A coworker and myself were interviewing a candidate once for an iOS position and one of the things on his resume was an app that just reversed video. My coworker says "Oh that's neat, record me!" The guy pulls out his phone and starts up the app. My coworker says what sounds like "Rih koff ra dom" and then the candidate plays it back. In the middle of our pretty crowded office, during a weird silent lull, this candidates phone just yells out "Motherfucker!" For some reason that coworker had memorized how to say motherfucker backwards. He must have been waiting for that moment for a long time because it was perfect (if not quite work appropriate) timing.

Try recording “we smell sausage” and playing it backwards ;) All credit goes to Mark Mothersbaugh

Fun discovery: a sarcastically spoken "Yeah, right..." sounds the same backward and forward.
