I tried "this is Philip" but for some reason the caller sounded skeptical.

I sometimes answer, "Greetings fellow Earthling", and folks seem to believe me. Shazbat. W00T.gif" alt="W00T" border="0" />

Bob, it's good to know you take calls. I wonder if the number of calls corresponds to your longevity in the business. Has the volume changed over time? Since I don't have a base of clients used to calling me, I was thinking the pain of losing a number might be minimal if anything.

Jen,

Actually, my existing base of clients mostly just email me, though I do get phone calls from them now and then. I'm talking about calls out of the blue because someone found my site and wanted to ask me to narrate something for them. Or they were referred to me from a current or former client. That kind of thing.

As for answering the line, for our home (land line) I answer "Souer residence" and my Google voice numeber I answer "Hello, this is Bob."
