âI am the voice behind Psquareâs hit song âstoryâ â Helen Paul Reveals
Nigerian comedian, Helen Paul has revealed she was the voice behind âUncle, please tell us a storyâ, in Psquareâs âStoryâ, a song released in 2005.
She revealed this in a recent interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast, stating that she was a receptionist at the time and that she got the gig after the children who were meant to do the voiceover failed to show up.
Her words: âAt the beginning, I didnât know P Square. I didnât even know they were going to blow. They came to the studio, and they wanted to record their songs. I think they were expecting some children to come and got disappointed. So, Ayoadeife said, âWe have somebody who can do this voice, and this person can do all the range children,â she added.
âI didnât know what range was, but I was just very good at imitating voices to date. I was a receptionist then, and when they told them, they agreed. And the guy just said, Helen, âYou will work in the nights, but weâre not paying much. I said, I donât care; just buy me a âsoft drinkâ, because I loved it at the time.
âSo they gave me the job, and I did the voicing of the children in the song. So they merged all the different children. So it sounded full. When the song started reigning, I didnât even know what it was to put your name on a song; I didnât fight for it.â
Helen Paul also revealed that her voice got her many jobs, and she moved from earning N9,500 monthly to over N400,000 monthly.
She said, âThe next job I did was for another milk product. I was at the reception when they brought this job, and they told me the child that was to do it was having exams. They said they would not be able to take that in the office because the advert needed to air at 3 p.m. and it was 12 p.m., so they were looking for a baby voice.
âUncle Ayo said, âLetâs try Helenâ and they brought me in to lay the voice, which I did. After the ad, I signed a paper for which I didnât know the content. At that point, my salary was N9,500; I started receiving about N400,000 or N450,00 every month.
