The Story:

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

It’s a Numbers Game

Numbers. Useful little things. We rely on them for all kinds of information. But that information is not always as beneficial as it seems. In fact, relying on numbers can become an addictive crutch, or even cause undue stress. Join me on my new quest to go on a “Numbers Diet”! Continue reading

In his spare time, he sits alone at a well-known diner, waiting to be discovered.

He has a check made out to himself for a million dollars, since that’s how Jim Carrey did it.
