I'm trying to establish a repertoire of voice acting and narration work, so here is a reading of two classic poems, I'm looking to build my experience by reaching out to poets and authors who might want their work recorded by someone else. My email is ltxavi@outlook.com if you're interested.

Dracula Reading

Mellow spoken word musing on the positives of moderated 'craziness'.

Wonderful instrumental COMPLETELY belonging to The Deli 'Vibes'. I do not own any of their music, I have used it simply as a backing to my spoken word, found once again through the free compilation of songs from Pragmatic Theory.  

So please check them out as well: https://soundcloud.com/the-deli/the-vibes-out-now-on-pragmatic-theory-light-works

Crazy - Liam Xavier (The Deli Instrumental)

I have long been obsessed and influenced by Paramore and also Hayley Williams as an individual, so I have been wanting to write something around a Paramore song for a long time.

The Only Exception is one of my all time favourite songs, so I thought I'd put my own alternative spin on it. Instrumental cover is all Luis Chiaradia (https://soundcloud.com/luuislipee). Of course the original is by Paramore. 

New spoken word writing by me:

These pieces are shaped differently to how I imagined as a 13 year old boy,
I used to look at people with such confusion,
wondering how they could hurt so many others
and still be happy,
and still so lucky
and still be seemingly better than I, 
and I used to think there must be rules to this
to avoid the cries in the night
and to avoid the lies told under blue skies,
I would find laws to this,
but once in a while I could not help but smile
and I would realise there were exceptions to the rules
and my goodness I have met so many only exceptions
that I am beginning to doubt my own principles of life
and perceptions of right and wrong
that even the song I am speaking over
that I have loved for so many years
makes me fall into tears every time,
and with every rhyme I write
it becomes more twisted and conflicted
and there is beauty and curse in both
and maybe someday i’ll know
where I should go
and if there are rules to follow
I don’t know them
but I used to think I did,
used to bring such conviction
to my affliction to belief in people and things,
but only certain people and certain things
because some can threaten to clip the wings on your back
and some can redesign them
but if you can find them 
and find the truth
then you should be so grateful
because up until then 
you’ll have all these expectations
and solidified declarations of silence
in your voice and heart
lest you would depart from the start
and find yourself back again
at the beginning
haunted by the end,
but this is an exceptional exception to the rule,
there are no rules,
except to be happy
and to be loving
and to be kind
and to be good to yourself,
and your exceptional heart
because life is hard
and there is no part
that can be helped by rules
and I wish I could sing
that you are an exception
whoever you are 
but I have too many scars
on too many roads travelled far
that it is harder and harder every day
and maybe that is not so bad after all,
because seeing perfection in a person,
can only worsen the hurt,
which is everything you are trying to avoid,
so listen to your own noise,
and only find perfection in yourself
in your imperfections and not your wealth,
just your health and quality, not quantity of love
around you,
coz
you,
not him
not her,
not they
not them,
not when or why
but you
are the only exception
so take care
because hearts like yours only come around once 
in a lifetime.

Sleep Away and Start Over

A piece of Spoken Word poetry exploring the idea of leaving for the better, while still mourning their past life - toxic or otherwise.

As The Train Passes.

Everyone has their Haven's. Their spot to go to, to feel at peace. Mine is always the ocean/ near sea water.

Where My Haven Lies

Impossible

It's been a hot minute since I've uploaded anything on here! But I've recently been investing a bit more into my studio setup and have so much spoken word poetry that I haven't tested it out on... So here ya go.

Bear with me also while I get used to working with a new DAW (reaper instead of audacity).

Empty Without Reason - Spoken Word

Spoken word piece inspired by a night drinking wine, with an incense stick, listening to Cigarettes After Sex! 

its been a pretty spiritual year for me, so im trying to become more vulnerable by showing this side of me more.

The Intoxication of Incense and White Wine

25 year old writer, performer and director. Used to be more of an emotional wreck, now a spiritual seeker, that is still occasionally emotional. My poetry is a mix of both experiences basically. Listen to my breakdowns and my loves in the form of Spoken Word 😂
