Just under 2 weeks ago I handed something to a fellow VO on a plate. This person spends a great deal of time sitting in front of their PC and what I asked was internet friendly. No news so far. I it did myself a few minutes ago, it took me exactly 90 seconds. I am now $4,000 better off. The number is rounded down ...
Think of me only as Mystified of Morayshire. |

It's incredible. It was a real time conversation. I made a specific request, they agreed, then...NOTHING |

Darren nailed it... Muppet!
(at least, that's for the PG-rating... the first thing I thought was R-rated)
Here's my clear statement... If Philip ever hands me four grand's worth of work that only takes 90-seconds, I will do my best to do it in 85, and add the 5 to the already copious amounts of time I will be spending thanking him!
To add to Scott's comment, it's not that they're not a VO professional. they're not an anything professional. _________________ Bish a.k.a. Bish

The only excuse I can think of is if someting dire happened right after your conversation that completely overrode everything else. |

Okay, when Philip originally spoke to me about doing phone sex for him, I was eager. But then I thought about it again and well, I suppose my hemming and hawing and I don't know, a gig is a gig and all.
Had I known it would only have been 90 seconds though, I guess I would have gone through with it. _________________ j.s. gilbert

Do I mention the fuss you made about the Paddington Bear costume and the surgical gloves? |

Ok. Phone sex. 90 seconds. Surgical gloves.
I think I'm gonna go take a nap.
Or watch a horror flick. |

You could have just called me Phillip. I don't do phone sex, but I give good voice.
