世界上英语语速最快的男人是…？
说道语速快，大家可能或想到rapper，尤其是姆爷经典的《Rap God》里的这一段……
超级快的饶舌语速，连老外都不一定听得懂说啥……
然而有个大叔早在几十年前就已有“有过之而无不及”的语速了……
谁的语速更胜一筹？
他叫John Moschitta Jr.来自美国，如今已经62岁了。一分钟能说五百多个单词，被人们称为"Motormouth"（马达一样的嘴）。
曾以每份586个单词的平均语速创下多年前的吉尼斯世界纪录。
虽然这项纪录在1995年就已被画面中的Sean Shannon超越了，而他刷新成绩是655个单词每分钟。
但有别于他们，John先生也是唯一一个出镜超过100个广告的“成功人士”……
因为自己的惊人语速一举成名，不但现身Micro Machines和FedEx等大牌广告，还献声给美版变形金刚动画的啰嗦配音。他创造了史上说话语速最快的动画角色，但它的发音字字清晰易懂，极富特色。
各大知名广告主都有找上他，大陆航空公司、汉堡王、CBS和HBO等各大电视台。
已逝巨星迈克尔杰克逊的《Bad》全歌的歌词，他可以在20秒内飙完~
想必老爷子的妻子肯定不喜欢吵架……
insanebutmakesense：除了嘴巴厉害，智商应该也很高，脑子动得真快，一目十行，我看也看得没那么快，666
我的養成記：华少呢，出来，遇到强敌了
寄渊：我之前做客服，提醒用户话费余额不足的，语速也特别快，然后我被投诉了，因为用户听不清，然后我经理告诉我，不是说完就行了，一通电话30秒才算业绩
最酷博主：请问你会freestyle吗
杨一鸣Dylan：这个人要是吵架能把人吵上天
最酷博主：有点像我小时候，嘴巴张开然后啊――然后一边用手拍嘴唇发出的那种声音...
Three decades later, John Moschitta Jr. still gets recognized.
“People just come up and tell me, ‘You were my whole childhood,’” Moschitta tells New York by phone from Los Angeles.
Kids of the ‘80s don’t know his name, but they love him as the mustachioed “Micro Machines Man,” the guy who pitched the tiny toy planes, trains, and automobiles with superhuman speed in all those commercials. He was also the voice of Blurr on the original Transformers cartoon, had a recurring role as the fast-talking Mr. Testaverde, a teacher on Saved by the Bell, and popped up as a rapid “Letter of the Day” narrator on Sesame Street.
“I used to get stared down by 1-year-olds in the supermarket,” Moschitta says. “The mother would be like, ‘I don’t know why she’s looking at you like that.’”
Long before Flo took her annoying throne at Progressive, Moschitta dominated the pre-DVR era, spitting slogans for FedEx, Minute Rice, Mattel, and Burger King so quickly that old-fashioned, paper-fed teleprompters couldn’t keep up. “I blew up two of those and set three on fire,” he jokes.
Moschitta’s rare talent for machine-gun speech earned him the nickname “Motormouth,” a Clio Award (for the FedEx spot), and a Guinness World Record for World’s Fastest Talker. At 583 words a minute, he was able to drop syllables five times as fast as the average person.
Back in the ‘80s, Moschitta says, Bell Laboratories in New Jersey even wanted to test his brain. Its studies showed that most people could speak just 8 to 11 words at an accelerated rate before their “speech machinery” started to malfunction. “They didn’t know why mine didn’t,” he says. “Looking back, I think I kind of rewired my brain to be able to do it.”
At age 12, in his hometown of Uniondale, Long Island, Moschitta heard that anyone who broke a Guinness record would get his or her name on television in an annual cerebral-palsy telethon. “I decided I wasn’t going to eat a car or swallow lead pipe. The only thing I could really do that didn’t cost any money was fast talking.”
He thinks being from New York may have given him an edge, along with having five sisters in a boisterous Italian family in which you had to think fast to get a word in edgewise. Young Moschitta locked himself in his room and drilled himself on tongue twisters. His favorite, he says, launching into his signature Micro Machines voice, was, “She stood on the balcony inexplicably mimicking him, hiccuping and amicably welcoming him in.”
But it wasn’t until about ten years later, during a Guinness segment on the Columbus, Ohio, cable show in which he was working as a producer and performer, that Moschitta officially became the fastest talker on the planet. He nailed a recitation of “You Got Trouble” from The Music Man, a role he’d played growing up. That led to appearances on stupid-human-tricks-style reality shows like ABC’s That’s Incredible! and ultimately to the Micro Machines and FedEx spots. But for all the doors the Guinness record opened, Moschitta says, it also brought him years of unexpected strife, as a string of imitators attempted to steal his title.
First, in the late ‘80s, there was New York comedian Fran Capo, whom Moschitta says “bamboozled herself into the book” by attempting her fast-reading of The Three Little Pigs during a live show “so that they didn’t have time to verify it.” Capo’s record was rescinded after her tape was reviewed, and Guinness gave Moschitta a chance to break his own record, which he did (ramping up to 586 words a minute from 583). Then, in 1990, British car salesman Steve Woodmore seemingly blew everyone out of the water, spewing 637 words a minute reading from the Tom Clancy novel Patriot Games. But Moschitta questioned his legitimacy from the start, arguing that there’s a big difference between fast babbling and fast talking: “You couldn’t understand a word he said.”
Soon after, a Guinness editor suggested a talk-off between Woodmore, Moschitta, and Capo, in what Moschitta says the editor called an effort “to just to get them out of the picture and shut them up.” It went down live in 1990 on Good Morning America, where Woodmore ended up being one-hundredth of a second faster than him, Moschitta claims. But when a linguist later listened to the tape, Woodmore was found to have left a sentence out, and so Moschitta, again, believed himself to be the rightful winner.
“All these other people talk for less than a minute, and then they prorate it — so if you speak 300 words in 30 seconds, then that means you speak 600 words a minute,” he says. “You have to take into account breathing and all that other stuff that these people don’t do.”
Guinness suggested a rematch, and Moschitta traveled to London several times to make himself available, but he says Woodmore wouldn’t face him. “It’s something that used to give me great angst and get me really fired up,” Moschitta says. “I mean, of course it’s a big ego thing.”
Eventually, Moschitta moved on. “I said to myself, ‘Whether I am currently in the book or not doesn’t make a bit of difference to my career,’” he says. “I work all around the world. England calls me. They’re not hiring Steve Woodmore.”
During Moschitta’s 20-year run of commercial success, he says, he performed for eight presidents, the queen of England, the chancellor of Germany, two prime ministers of Italy, and several Supreme Court justices. “Fast talking enabled me to fly all over the world first-class,” he says. “If I was in Japan for a job, I’d just stay in Asia for two months. I took a two-month trip to Africa and river-rafted the Zambezi and went gorilla tracking.”
Over time, he lost most of his bigger-ticket spokesman deals along with his hair, though he still works regularly in the U.S. and overseas. Moschitta recently did a tourism commercial for the state of Kansas and an ad for a New York hospital, and he’s getting ready to shoot a movie called The Auctioneer, playing the head of an auction house. “One guy is my prodigy, he goes to the dark side and becomes a rap artist,” he says. Not long ago, he says, he was also in the running to play the wizard in Broadway’s Wicked. But these days, he’d be happy just to get a regular job playing the grandpa on a sitcom.
“It’s the same old story,” Moschitta says. “In Hollywood, you get typecast. There are a million parts I could play on TV, and the casting people a lot of times won’t even call me in. To this day, I’m the fast talker.”
