About this sound
Matt Berry's deep, theatrical 'Good evening' as Laszlo from What We Do in the Shadows. A classy greeting creators drop as an intro for night streams and videos.
It is a short voice clip of British actor Matt Berry delivering the words 'good evening' in his famously deep, plummy baritone. He leans into each syllable with theatrical relish, the way his vampire character Laszlo Cravensworth greets the night, turning a simple hello into something grand and faintly menacing. The delivery lands somewhere between a stage actor's flourish and a horror host's welcome, which is exactly why it works: hearing it instantly sets a playful, after-dark mood and makes whatever follows feel like an event.
