In the world, in our world people duck and dive like ducky divey things. People write and talk. I am a bounder and a cad! Why? I read and listen.
Several years ago someone tried to collect a debt from me. I asked them to prove I owed the money. They buried me in paperwork, sent debt collectors, set the lawyers on me and instigated court action twice. I asked them to prove I owed the money. On the day before the second court case (they pulled out before the first) they withdrew their claim. If you were owed money by me and knew that there would be legal proof (in writing) of the debt what would you do?
For a few weeks I've been asking someone to do JUST ONE THING. Most recent email received about an hour ago ran into several hundred words and made no reference to my repeated, polite and well articulated request. In order to comply it would take them 5 minutes max.
What has the above got to do with VO work? If you don't know check for distractions.
THINK ON! |

Yeah... but those are two of your most endearing qualities, Philip! 
I've found that it always takes longer to purposefully not do something than to actually do it.
