Could Billy Mays talk normally?

I only ever heard him yelling at me to buy stuff, and I have always wondered if he could talk normally. No one I've asked so far has known!

    Yes, he did. You should watch the t.v. show PITCHMEN. He talked normally on there. >>

    He can speak however he wants. It's so sad that this man passed away and people are complaining about how he "yelled" at them to buy stuff.

    Sure he could. But yelling was his trademark. It worked too. Not everybody who does commercials becomes a celebrity. He even had his own reality show, "Pitchmen", when he died. I thought his yelling was annoying, but it was harmless, and more power to him for making a success of himself. His yelling has sold a lot of Oxyclean and other products.

    OF COURSE HE COULD!! That was just something like a trademark and for people to hear him!

    Rest In Peace Billy Mays:)

    Yes he could talk normally. He had an exuberant personality. I can't believe he died. I enjoyed watching him on television promoting various products. I have Hercules Hooks and Kaboom!

    His death inspired me to write an article about how you can use ten of the items he promoted, all in one day. Check it out at:

    I also have a blog dedicated to the many products he promoted. It’s at:
