I have done my voiceover artist recording for our new student recruitment telephone system thing.

Someone called Ian came to my office and listenend to me purr down the phone to various voicemail boxes.

We had to pause while the ice cream van trundled past.

And then I got the giggles trying to say 'you may wish to' for absolutely no reason.

But it is done and I think I go 'live' next week.

I have to say I rather enjoyed it but whether my boss likes it remains to be seen.

Of course I'm not entirely sure he's noticed I have a slight speech impediment. I can't say my rs properly when they are in the middle of words or there's a lot of them together. For instance I can say 'rabbit' but not 'Warrington' (comes out Wawwington) and I have no chance with running around rocks after ragged rascals.

But it's more fun than writing about microbiosensors - which reminds me...
