An unrivaled mastery of utterances

You've got your high art YouTube compilations, and then there are the videos that contain nothing but Matthew McConaughey making unintelligible noises for four entire minutes. You can thank the wonderful souls at Owenergy Studios for putting in the hard work and tirelessly reviewing McConaughey's body of work — yes, even Fool's Gold, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and Failure to Launch — and preserving every not-an-actual-word sound that the actor has recorded. Where words fail to get a script's emotion and depth across, this Hollywood star / Lincoln spokesman can turn to his endless vault of mouth noises to give it that extra oomph. That's the sort of instinct that you just can't teach.
