brrrrr, it's cold in here.   
Just felt like farkin' around with some audio effects so I spoke some crap ad lib, fixed a few parts, overlaid some trapcode particular particles on a B&W version of me and that's about it.  Wasted day of my life I guess.   Someone asked how I did it so here is basically how.

Yes. Film yourself in front of greenscreen talking to a prerecorded track. Get some mp3 player, laptop, and say the lines just after you hear them (so you don't need a script). You can fudge the timing of the vid later.

Then put that on one track of After Effects and add chroma key plug or effect to remove the green background. Add HSL (hue/saturation effect) to remove color and use whatever you want to make you blue.  Really blue.  Like tritone and set all 3 colors to shades of blue.  Now, you are really blue with some good shadings.

Add an invert effect.  This makes you look like a god, glowing eyes, mouth.

Add a new layer above YOU of just some color. To that layer add trapcode particular effect ( you could use the particles effect in AE also). Create a box type and orient it so that the particles are falling down the screen instead of coming at you. gotta play with x,y,z rotation and then pull the size wide enough and tall enough to cover YOU, not the whole vid. Now you should have you with white specks falling over you. Also bump up the particles to shitloads of them and make them size 1 or 2. I used 1 cuz I only did 720 vid size.

Now, what is going on is that you want to overlay the particles so that they are getting their luminance info from YOU. Where your face is light, they get lighter, etc. and you also don't want them showing up OUTSIDE of your body so, you have to set the particles layer to BLEND MODE = stencil alpha.  Right click that layer, select blend mode, stencil alpha.  Now you have particles moving downward that are lighting up everywhere YOU do. :)

Now, adjust brightness as needed.  Perhaps add a dup layer of you and overlay it as ADD or something to increase brightness.

THEN add trapcode shine to the particles.  that makes them look longer and turning.

add a NEW layer behind all that with more particles and another trapcode shine to get those blue rays coming out of (allegedly) YOU.

Screw up your voice using several tracks and effects, pitch shift, delay, verb, and render only the vid from AE then put the good voice audio on a track in your vid editor along with the AE vid.  Basically it.
