VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

I don't do many radio commercials at all let alone for people in the USA.

Now listen to this as I suspect that not all radio commercials on New York radio stations are quite as aggressive.

As I've said before, I could listen to you all day, my dear!

...and I was just trying to imagine that spot with a Queens NY accent....yeah...you sound MUCH better! Wink

Very nice read Philip, although that's no surprise.

I would say that's actually quite a bit less aggressive than the typical radio commercial, though, in general, although it's about right for upscale car dealers these days.

Sorry, Philip, but that's the worst New York accent I've ever heard.

Really? I thought it very "street" and "edgey".

Actually it's a dead on Bayside accent.
Kudos!

I've decided to give it another year and if things don't work out I'll try novelisting, the nobel art of writing fiction ......
