"I can't record in the morning because I sound like Barry White"

This quote by Toni Braxton is an amusing method of revealing her problem in tape-recording her vocals in the morning. She is suggesting that her voice is too deep and low in the early morning, making her sound like the well-known singer Barry White. This might be due to her vocal cables being tired from the night previously, or simply since her voice is naturally much deeper in the morning. It is most likely that she is joking about her early morning voice, as Barry White was understood for his deep and soulful singing voice. This quote is a lighthearted way of revealing her difficulty in recording her vocals in the early morning, and it is an amusing way of comparing her voice to that of the legendary singer.
