His day job is a police detective, and he’s finally met his match in an alluring female reporter named Havner.

Often I’m asked (and by often, I mean never) “Hey Joe! What was your first voice over?”
Funny you should bring that up!
When I was younger, I was fat. No, not “pleasingly plump”, or “gravity challenged”, just fat. Back then, it was ok to be called that, before all the Politically Correct nonsense took over… but I’ll save that for another post! 😉

I’m in my home studio recording an audition when the phone rings.
Thinking it might be my wife, I answer:
Me: Hello?
RC: This is an urgent message about your available credit. Would you like to lower your monthl…
Me: (mashing every button on the phone while simultaneously swearing)
RC: Hi. This is Todd. Are you calling to learn how to lower yo…
Me: Actually, Todd, I’d like you to remove my number from your call li…
RC: (click. beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppp…)
Me: (mashing every button on the phone while simultaneously swearing)
Me: (slamming down the phone) Aaaarrrrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!
If only there was some way I could do something about these blasted RoboCalls!
Wait a sec… I’m a voice actor!
I can do something.
And that’s how RoboAnswer was born!
The next time you get any kind of mind-numbingly boring sales or other call, just play the above clip into the phone. Be sure to put it on repeat, then just walk away!
For your convenience there’s also a link to the MP3 file under the player.
Enjoy!,
Joe
