Some people keep journals; I like recordings.
The conversations that take place in my office are classic. Some of them are serious, but most are hysterical bordering on the surreal. I don’t think actors realize how they sound. The gibberish just pours out of their mouths and they don’t expect anyone to notice.
Well, I definitely notice and that’s why I started recording all the conversations I have with my clients, in person and on the phone. I might want to write a book one day about my life as an agent and I realized those discussions are worth their weight in sales.
But that memoir is years away, so in the meantime, I’ve decided to share a few of my favorites. These chats have not been edited. They are taken directly from the original recordings and I’m presenting them here without comment.
Enjoy!
