Phone call yesterday afternoon.
Potential client "We need to see if you are up to the job we have in mind"
PB "Last year two Oscar nominated films, Volver and The Queen featured my voice. How good do I need to be?"
Phone goes dead.
Went to the beach with Jazz, devastated*

It’s obvious that some clients are confused when confronted with over qualified talent.
PB “… How good do I need to be?”
Phone goes dead.
Potential client laments “Obviously too good for our checkbook.” _________________ "Bailey"
