Money aside （LOLZ obviously it’s the money）：
It’s a crash course in learning about women. A subject I have repeatedly flunked.

That would be like me learning about men from narrating Sci-Fi. Ten pages on the inner-workings of the spaceship’s command center A.I.? That can’t be the extent of what goes on in their heads.

No, that’s entirely accurate. But please husk your voice when you read, “The main shaft drives the dual condenser into lockdown.”

Oh. My. God.
I’m so glad we’re doing this project together. I know this is about the money for both of us, but I can’t help feeling like maybe June knew something about the two of us individually that From: Brock McNight

Stiffy? No apology necessary.
Quick business question: How are we saying Claire’s company, Visage? VIZ-idge （like the actual word） or vi-ZAWzh?
Be nice if we could ask June.

You’re a gem, Westholme. Truly. You’re not only the right voice, you’re the right person for this. （He wrote, completely sober this time） And good question. But I defer to you, Claire’s your domain.

So much pressure! I think vi-ZAWzh sounds more like a fake cosmetics company.
And thank you. That’s kind of you to say. I was thinking, but only if you’re completely comfortable with this, that we should exchange phone numbers. Just for texting. Just for that. Just in case another pronunciation question comes up. I don’t check emails when I’m in the booth. But only if you are COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE with this. Please know I would never abuse the privilege. I would of course keep your number confidential.

Hey, here’s my phone number, can I have yours? I don’t have email set up in the booth or I’d never get any recording done, but I do respond to texts. Just in case we have questions that require an immediate response. But only if you’re COMFORTABLE with this. Please keep my number confidential and I will, of course, do the same.

Hi, it’s Sarah. I have questions. Many questions.
BROCK:
Hi Sarah, it’s Brock. I have many answers.
I also happen to have a question.
SEWANEE:
You first.
BROCK:
Are you doing Italian pronunciations for all people/places/things, with R trills, etc?
SEWANEE:
of courrrrrrrrrsuh. We should keep it authentic, no?
BROCK:
Rrrrright, we should, si.
Your turn.
SEWANEE:
So. Speaking of pronunciations, we both have clitoris coming up and we should make sure we give it the same emphasis.
BROCK:
Please. Continue.
SEWANEE:
Well. MW has two acceptable pronunciations: 1st is KLIT-ur-us, 2nd is kli-TOR-us.
