  • no we do not want to date you...

    My poor co-worker.

    We all have our own "phone voice". Our phone persona that we put out there when we answer the phone.
    I have 5 co-workers and we all are different
    K- sounds like someone who has had threatening phone calls from her boy friends ex's over the last three months, 2 of them are going to court over it.
    J- sounds like a flirty yet professional male.
    CC- sounds like a cheerful granny
    C- sounds like the ultimate in professional service.

    I apparently sound like i would look forward to dissect you to find out what is is malfunctioning with your brain since 99% of our callers have no idea where they are calling or WHY or are purposely not following directions (aka don't call the store if you have a problem call the 1800 for the technical group or the printer, they are the place that can fix the issue not us.)

    poor D
    she has the sexy blonde bomb shell voice.

    tonight she got asked out or propositioned 3 times.
    (I worry about the one's that ask me out, I am told my phone voice is scary)
    I jokingly told our favorite grumpy manager about the issue.
    He told me to tell the customers she wasn't interested but he was
    he made our night.

    My phone voice makes me sound like I'm 6 years old.

    I still get asked out on the phone.

    You can take a shower now.

        When I hear an adult women with a young voice, I immediately think of Kathy Ireland. And, yes, with that nice thought, I think I will take that shower.

          My phone voice depends on my mood. If it's good...

              I've been told I should *be* a phone sex operator.

              Which I've always found funny, because I apparently have a sexy voice but an evil face

              Clearly, I'm destined to burn the world.... sexy-like.

              I guess most of the women I talk to on the phone, professionally that is, are less likely to hit on some random voice on the other end of the line. I don't think I ever had any propositions while I was working... well, maybe one, but it was subtle and I am not.

              I used to get a *lot* when I was still playing WoW, though. That was always funny.

                I'm told my phone voice sounds like Agent Smith, complete with that undercurrent of contempt. Me, I think that's just a result of 10 years on the phones.

                    I also sound like a phone sex operator, if there's a phone sex operation that exclusively employs operators with resonant, nasally voices.

                      I think I sound like the sterotypical operator from the movies in the 1950's, at least that is what I sounded like to me when I answered phones for a repo company

                        My first exposure to this particular phenomenon was classic - an MST3K. First I was "Is that Kathy Ireland?" And then I thought they had purposely overdubbed her for giggles. Odd.

                          I've been told by friends that I have an $8.99/minute voice on the phone, the guy that met me in person said it was more like $10.99. But they were years apart, maybe it was inflation. Or maybe they have different subscriptions... who knows
