I'm pretty sure she has a lot more than two things to correct about her approach, but the most obvious ones are not introducing herself (hello, basic phone manners? yeesh) and giving up too easily.

#1. She didn't email you first.
#2. She didn't introduce herself when you answered the phone.

(#2 gets a real smackdown when it happens here at Camp Cooper.)

Sounded fine to me and in todays market I would encourage every voice artist to adopt similar working practises.

#1 She forgot to mention the naked pictures of you in Tijuana.
#2 She forgot to drop Philip's name.

My suggestion would be that when she said:
>>Her: "I'd like to find out where you are located."

You should always answer "I'm in my office on the phone speaking with you!"

Jeff McNeal · Guest

Ha! Good one. There are actually several comebacks that I could have used.

"Right now, I'm in the bathroom. Where are you located?"
"Someplace dark and creepy."
"I'm not. I'm dislocated."
"No bloody idea. I've been lost since 1972. Can you help me?"
"I can tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."
"Kenneth, what's the frequency?"

LOL!!! Yes, O great one. Good lines!

Definitely need more like her in this business... I might get some work that way...

Thanks for the iSpeek reference... but she wouldn't use it... she works out of her garage, on an iPod.

She asks "Where are you?"

He replies "___________________"

Actually, that's one place I wouldn't be, But thanks for the thought!

And thanks especially, for the edit. Discretion, as they say, is the better part of valor.

Anyone that vague should be asked.

"And what's your name, any idea?"
