Just under 2 weeks ago I handed something to a fellow VO on a plate. This person spends a great deal of time sitting in front of their PC and what I asked was internet friendly. No news so far. I it did myself a few minutes ago, it took me exactly 90 seconds. I am now $4,000 better off. The number is rounded down ...

Think of me only as Mystified of Morayshire.

It's incredible. It was a real time conversation. I made a specific request, they agreed, then...NOTHING

Then I'd say they're not a v/o PROFESSIONAL.

Darren nailed it... Muppet!
(at least, that's for the PG-rating... the first thing I thought was R-rated)

Here's my clear statement... If Philip ever hands me four grand's worth of work that only takes 90-seconds, I will do my best to do it in 85, and add the 5 to the already copious amounts of time I will be spending thanking him!

To add to Scott's comment, it's not that they're not a VO professional. they're not an anything professional.

I assume you've lost this individual's phone number..... and can no longer remember their name to look it up.... I would.

The only excuse I can think of is if someting dire happened right after your conversation that completely overrode everything else.

Okay, when Philip originally spoke to me about doing phone sex for him, I was eager. But then I thought about it again and well, I suppose my hemming and hawing and I don't know, a gig is a gig and all.

Had I known it would only have been 90 seconds though, I guess I would have gone through with it.

Do I mention the fuss you made about the Paddington Bear costume and the surgical gloves?

Ok. Phone sex. 90 seconds. Surgical gloves.

I think I'm gonna go take a nap.

Or watch a horror flick.

You could have just called me Phillip. I don't do phone sex, but I give good voice.
