It all started in the 1980's when I was cast as a TV News Anchorman in a local critically acclaimed High School play. Parents started flocking to me, asking if I would be the voice of their outgoing answering machine greetings. In the days before each having their own voice mailbox, telephone answering systems were quite new and people were afraid to record their voices on them. As a young man, I cheerfully agreed to provide my voice services on their telephone answering devices for a quarter. Of course, in those days a quarter was worth about 25 cents! Since then, I have adjusted my rates to account for inflation, experience and other factors, but now 20 years later still maintain the commitment of that neighborhood teen desiring to please his first paying customers! Not to mention, a good sense of humor.
