About this sound

✦ AI

A short 1-second WhatsApp voice clip titled "Se você está ouvindo" (If you're listening), used by creators as a soundboard opener for skits, pranks and reaction edits.

This is a brief voice memo style clip, just over a second long, carrying the Portuguese phrase that translates to "if you're listening". The voice is informal and close to the microphone, exactly like a WhatsApp audio message, and the sentence cuts off mid-thought, which is precisely what makes it funny. Dropping it at the start of an edit feels like someone is about to say something important and never finishes. It is a natural hook for pranks, confessions, gossip skits and reaction videos.

The clip circulated as a WhatsApp voice note, where short half-finished audios are a daily form of comedy in Brazil, often saved and reposted to soundboards for reuse in edits and memes. Its charm comes from the interrupted thought: "se você está ouvindo" promises a message that never arrives, and creators exploit that gap by pairing it with absurd follow-ups or sudden silence. Like many viral WhatsApp audios, it spread through group chats and audio-sharing pages rather than any official release, which is why it endures as a blank slate for creators.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place this clip right before a reveal or a punchline, then cut to a completely unrelated shot or a blank screen. The humour lives in the unfinished sentence, so never let the next clip explain what the voice was about to say.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Opening a gossip or tea-spilling skit.
  • Setting up a prank voice note edit.
  • Hooking a reaction video cold open.
  • Captioning a meme about ignored messages.
