Introduction and Marketing Jokes
00:00:00
Speaker
Well, we've kind of shifted into marketing, but that's cool. We can talk about marketing and check that one off, and then we'll go and talk about whatever the hell we were going to talk about.
00:00:15
Speaker
Here's a random question for you guys. Here's a random answer for you. 73. Great. Blue. Wonderful. That was right.
Self-Marketing Challenges and Strategies
00:00:23
Speaker
We all do our own marketing. You do a lot of self-marketing, do you? I don't do enough. Majority of my work is self-marketing. Not enough, but yes. Yeah. Being the one among us with no representation, basically. All my business, all my clients, they're all self-market, so I accumulated them.
00:00:41
Speaker
Do you schedule your marketing emails out or do you do them and send them?
00:00:49
Speaker
I... I try to schedule mine. I usually schedule a week's worth at one time. Like in one sitting? Yeah. So I know some are being released on Monday, then Tuesday as the week goes. I'll show you do it staggered. Okay. Yes. I do a little bit of both. It depends. Yeah. If I'm responding to somebody, obviously that's right away. Yes. Unless it's late. Like if it's after hours when I see it, then I might schedule it for the
Effective Email Marketing Techniques
00:01:12
Speaker
morning. You had me confused here for a second, because I know your schedule will.
00:01:16
Speaker
Yeah. What do you consider late? Anything after 8 a.m.? No, after normal business hours. Ah, ah. Air quotes. Normal.
00:01:25
Speaker
other people's normal. Right. So, so if I see it at a normal time for me, then it's probably late and I'll schedule the response for morning probably. Right. Gotcha. But if I'm doing cold outreach or, you know, lukewarm outreach, I suppose, I still try to schedule things so they'll land, you know, during business hours. Sure. Preferably not on a Monday or a Friday because people are kind of crazed on Mondays and, and trying to get out of there on Fridays.
00:01:50
Speaker
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are kind of ideal for the midday. You don't want it too early and you don't want it too late. Kind of midday, Tuesday through Thursday. That's pretty lukewarm.
00:02:02
Speaker
And I like using, I do have some templates that I can customize. That way I'm not writing out every single thing all the time. Man, I took Jonathan Grant's points of view on how to set up those letters. And he said, you don't have to, you're not writing a novel. Introduce yourself. This is what I do. This is the business that I've done. This style.
00:02:22
Speaker
and let it go. It makes writing those letters so much easier. Thank you, Jonathan Grant. And how's that going for you? So far, so well. Getting good results. Yeah. I mean, that's how I got my first agent, or my first New York agent. And I will never, ever forget, they told me, thank you for keeping this short and sweet. You didn't tell us, you know. I have a fluffy cat, and that's how I name my business. And oh my gosh, and I love taking long walks. Nobody wants your dating profile. No.
00:02:51
Speaker
Just keep it short. And they don't want to hear about Uncle Touchy. No, they don't want to hear about Uncle Touchy. Exactly. That's right. We had that conversation. But being able to have it short like that is so much easier for everybody. Yeah, bullet points. For us and for them. It keeps it real. I want to say more real, but, you know, English.
00:03:11
Speaker
Yeah, more better good. And you know what else is really helpful? Honestly, send it to yourself first and see how it looks on mobile. If it looks like you're just scrolling. I wouldn't hire myself. And scrolling. I'll just ignore it. No, but I mean, in terms of how much text have you written? Yeah, yeah. If you're scrolling. Should I put it in different color? If you could send like a scented email, that would be amazing now.
00:03:36
Speaker
Like it could be like peony and lavender. Amazing. Yeah. I was thinking gumbo. He's got that Louisiana thing going on. Oh, okay. Different size fonts, different color, lettering. I'm sure. Lots of emojis. Especially in the subject line. Yeah.
00:04:01
Speaker
What's that, Victoria? What's that? You're thinking. Nothing. Nothing at all. Just gonna go over here and sip my tea. Just like three of the poop emojis, because I don't want to be in your subject line. It says, Al is the beep, beep, beep. There you go. Just a little something extra. Attention grabber. Oh, it's extra? All right. Put a little stank on it, as it were. Oof. Oh, man.
00:04:28
Speaker
Ah, I almost fell up my chair. I actually have a new tool that I've started. Well, I haven't actually started because I'm warming I created new email addresses for cold outreach, my actual main email address by sending
00:04:44
Speaker
unsolicited email. It's not spam because I'm like actually just trying to start a conversation with these people.
Success Stories in Cold Email Campaigns
00:04:50
Speaker
Sure, sure. But it can be construed that way by some, I suppose, maybe. So I've created some new email addresses to send from. Do you have all those followed up so you can tell which ones have been caught as spam?
00:05:05
Speaker
I don't know if the new one will do that. The old one, I don't think the old one did either. I'm not sure if there's a way to know if it landed in spam or not, other than just no response. In Google, Gmail, you can tell if it gets mailtracked, you can tell if you get blocked, it tells you that. It has just been read 10 times.
00:05:29
Speaker
which is always good, mailtracker. I have had a couple that ended up in spam and then future follow-up emails, they finally responded and they were like, oh, sorry, I didn't see it. It ended up in spam the first time or whatever because they're Outlook email and they'll flag anything that's external as external and it files it differently. So it wasn't probably necessarily spam, but it was a different folder that they don't look at.
00:05:51
Speaker
So it got flagged and pushed aside. And then they just didn't see it. But I've done a pretty decent cold outreach campaign for rock stations for imaging. And I could pull up my stats if you want to know my actual stats. Do we want to know? Pull it up. I don't know what the actual open rates are for cold email. I think it's like 10% or 20% is pretty normal. And that's considered good.
00:06:20
Speaker
Really? Yeah. It seems really low though, right? Yeah. So my imaging campaign, I sent to 324 people over the course of several months, 77.8% were opened. Nice. That's good. Excellent. 38.3% responded. That's even better. Yeah. Yeah. That's really, really good response rates. Yeah, that's 50% of what was opened. That's awesome.
00:06:46
Speaker
Here we go with the math again. Jeez Louise, can we get away from math? See, I think the response rate is based on... I guess I don't know. If the response rate is based on who opened it versus the number sent, I guess I don't know. They must be based on the total sent because it's 124 of 324. That's good. Yeah. Okay.
00:07:03
Speaker
Yeah. So half of what was opened was responded to, basically. Bully. Nice. That's crazy good, right? Yeah. So my emails are very short. You know, my initial email is totally personalized. I mean, some of it is kind of boilerplate, like what I offer.
00:07:19
Speaker
who I am and whatever. That's pretty much the same every time. But it's personalized for who I'm reaching out to. So I'm not just blasting these out to whoever I happen to find an email address for. I go and actually find out if it's worthwhile to reach out, like if they have a need for what I offer. If not, I'm not going to bother. Why bother? Push the other guy out of the way. Yeah, well, I want to be a bother.
00:07:43
Speaker
So I dropped that into my I've got a funnel basically It's a drip campaign for lack of a better term, but it's nothing that I wouldn't do manually It just kind of automates the repetitive follow-ups that I would otherwise have to do manually sure You know, but what I send in the follow-ups that I would do if I was typing them one by one, you know It's just like hey Have you had a chance to listen to my demo? If not, would it be easier if I just send you the file instead of the link I gave you or I?
00:08:09
Speaker
whatever. And I sent a bunch of these over the course of a year. And if they respond, positive or negative or whatever, it automatically removes them from that list. So they're not going to get another automated response. But then I'll see the response and I'll follow up and I'll start a conversation
Personalized Outreach and AI Humor
00:08:25
Speaker
with them. So this is all set up just to start the initial conversation, right? But I've got a flow that goes, you know,
00:08:34
Speaker
initial email, then a couple weeks later the next, a couple weeks later the next, and then eventually it's like a month later, a couple months later, and then three months later, three months later, whatever. So when they get the last one, it's right around a year after I first contacted them. At that point, then maybe I'll just start contacting them quarterly or something. But the whole point is not to make a sale, right? I'm not trying to book a job. It's a little bit different, I suppose, with imaging because I am trying to become their imaging voice. Sure.
00:09:01
Speaker
But still, the point is to start a conversation and build a relationship. It always is. That's how all the business happens. Yeah. No, I agree. Short to the point, tell them what you do. Get in, get out. Yeah. And then, you know, I recognize that all of these people are busy and, you know, I don't like getting random emails from people out of the blue offering something that I don't need, which is why I vet everybody. I send stuff to. I'm not sending thousands of these. Right.
00:09:27
Speaker
I invented people right when i first did this i did how many i sent but i did a little bit of a campaign towards just general video production for like commercial work and stuff and i would go and watch pretty much everything they had in their portfolio on their website on youtube video whatever and get a feel for the kind of work they do it may not be something you want to do.
00:09:50
Speaker
It may not be something I want to do. It may not be something that needs me, right? Maybe they don't do voiceover at all. Then there's no reason to reach out to them. But if they do, or if they do something that maybe would benefit from it, and they don't do voiceover right now, you know, then I might reach out. And especially if something jumps out at me that, you know, is really impressive, you know, really, really cool animation or just like,
00:10:11
Speaker
beautiful footage or whatever it is. And then I might comment on that specific thing. You don't ever point out like, hey, get rid of Cousin Johnny from doing your voiceover. Let me know. No, no, I wouldn't tell him that what they did is terrible. I might suggest that, hey, you know, that animation that you did for that bank was great. And I feel like if you had voiceover and it might really pump it up to the next level. And I'd love to that myself.
00:10:35
Speaker
I'd love to, you know, read something for you to give you an example of what that might sound like. Right. But I'm not going to tell them that anything they did was awful. Like, why would I do that? I'm trying to build a good relationship with these people, not be a troll. I'm just trying to bring in the humor. Although I will say, on some Instagram posts, like the salesy ones,
00:10:54
Speaker
I might make a comment, you know this would be a lot better if you would have hired a real voice actor instead of the AI voice to voice this for you. And I leave it at that. I do too. I do. I don't say that I'm a voice actor. You got balls. No, because I'm not saying you should give it to me. I'm just saying, please don't use AI, basically, because it's horrible. It's absolutely horrible. Well, it is. It's absolutely horrible.
00:11:17
Speaker
Yeah, it depends on my mood. It depends on my mood, right? Like if I if I stumble across something that is just Awful AI narration and I'm feeling I might you know, I Might give them the business a little bit in the comment section like hey, this is a cool product But you know if you would actually use a real human to sell this probably even better and I'll just leave it at that Yeah, like
00:11:42
Speaker
Yeah. Or ones that don't have any voiceover that are still really good but would be so much better if they had something. Something. I've commented on a couple. There was one that was some kind of fire pit. It's a cool video. But there was nothing. There was no voice explaining it or anything. Sure. How about the product or the company name right at the end? Something. It's a tag. Yeah. It would be so much better if you had a voice. And if you decide to go down that route. Hey, stuff. I know a guy.
00:12:13
Speaker
Or a girl. I might know somebody. Or a girl. I know a couple of them too. Them peeps. I know some peeps. Them peeps. Yeah, we were talking about peeps last time. Did we really? We were. We did, yeah.
Streaming Services and Viewing Habits
00:12:26
Speaker
Finding your tribe. That's right, that's right. And Easter peeps? We talked about it all. All the peeps. All the peeps. Now you're asking me if I have memory loss. Thank you. You're asking me if I'll listen to this one. You were just in New York, so I'm going to assume you lost a bunch of that.
00:12:43
Speaker
It's all right. It's all good. Still home. You know, I'm still kicking myself for my reaction to something Al said in the very first episode. What? What did you say? We were talking about who we were, where we came from, whatever. And then Al says something about, you guys have amazing backgrounds. And I just went, well, mine's just black, thinking he was talking about my video. And it wasn't until I listened back later, it was like, what the hell was I thinking?
00:13:12
Speaker
I literally just finished talking about what I did before this. It was comedic. How I got the voiceover. It was comedic. And you know what? I think in those first episodes, we may have probably drank differently. We were so young. We were so young. It was so long ago. We were so young and inexperienced. Back in the day. Well, we are in a bar, so we should be drinking, I suppose. Juice bar could not. I'm drinking root beer.
00:13:40
Speaker
I've got tea and tea. Yeah, two types of tea. I have warm tap water. Of course. Well, I have green tea, which is room temperature. So, yummy. But yeah, interesting. So you talked about your background, literally, literally. Yeah, look, it's just black. Why does he like a black background? Very interesting background. And then I turned the light on and said, look, now it's blue. And now it won't turn on.
00:14:11
Speaker
It's a podcast. Nobody's really... We usually don't share that much with them, do we? They can't see this, do they? I mean, we record it so that we can share it. I've kind of stopped. Maybe I should start again, because we were getting a lot of views on our shorts on YouTube. It should be the outtakes. Well, that's because I wasn't wearing any clothes. People like to look at our shorts. That's true. Naked Al over there. Eat my shorts. Yeah. Yeah. Shortless Al. The VO Nudie Bar.
00:14:40
Speaker
Although I think the one where you were talking about being a grandma got the most views. God. Can we not? Grandma? I'll bet you though, if I were to go back and make a video of Jonathan talking about Uncle Touchy, that one might get a lot of views. That's good. We really should use that. Yeah. Maybe we'll get... You mean whenever we need a bump in ratings? Break out the Uncle Feely? Uncle Touchy, yeah. Yeah, that guy. I was speaking of...
00:15:05
Speaker
Maybe I'll commission an Uncle Touchy puppet. I always thought it was really strange about the postman who was really weird on Mr. Rogers' neighborhood. Mr. McFeely. Mr. McFeely? Yeah, it's a little bit of a strange name. Yeah. So there you go. That's the Uncle Touchy. You know what else is interesting about that guy is he was actually pretty young. I think he was like in his 20s or something at the beginning of the series. You know, he always played this older mailman, you know, like in his 50s or 60s, but he was like 20.
00:15:33
Speaker
But a really weird name, you have to admit. They could have made him Mr. McMurphy, they could have said it O'Malley, but no, we went with McFeely. Something a little bit lighter. Have you guys seen Lake Bell's In a World? In a World. I love that one. That is actually quite good. I have not. It's quite, quite good. Is it? Yes. Where do you find it? Is it on Amazon? Is it Prime? Yeah, it's on Prime. Is it? Yeah.
00:16:00
Speaker
or Pluto TV. But yeah, it's on pray. Free with ads. Yay. Yes, it is. Wow. Lots. Why? And lots. Come on, Amazon. Hey, but you know what? This is what we do. Do better. We work for those ads. We are those commercials. So you know what?
00:16:17
Speaker
It's okay. But, you know, I've been a Prime member since the beginning. So have I. And it was like 80 bucks, maybe. The price has gone up a lot since then. It's almost double now, I think. I know. You know, the free, commercial free, whatever video, like that was what was guaranteed to us when the video first came out.
00:16:40
Speaker
Well, and Netflix was always, you know, you used to be able to get to DVD, you weren't watching all the stuff. Right. And now they want what it's something, it's like $2 a month or something. It's such a small amount that it's almost that's an insult, right? Like if you're going to charge me to remove commercials, charge me like five, 10 bucks a month, not two. Well, when you have a gajillion dollars to start with.
00:17:03
Speaker
Why are you doing it at all? Then why are you running commercials anyway? Well, you know, the problem is we wanted the deregulation of cable and we didn't like how cable just ruined our lives because they owned us. So streaming came along and we're like, yes, awesome. And then so much streaming came along. I don't remember being part of that discussion. No, nobody asked us.
00:17:27
Speaker
Nobody asked us, but I mean, I remember taking surveys saying, how do you get your news or how do you watch TV or any of that? And I would see streaming on there like those losers watching streaming like.
00:17:40
Speaker
on the watch your TV on your phone, right? I mean, but it is really interesting to see how that shifted. And now because we've gone away from cable for you to get sports, which I'm not the sports ball watching type, unless I'm in a stadium that's different, a different experience, but
00:17:59
Speaker
my family does, so different packages to watch football, to watch baseball, to watch, it's not even, it used to just be on CBS, you know, or no, was it, you know, Wide World of Sports, and it was on Sunday.
00:18:13
Speaker
or ESPN. Well, later. But yeah, I mean, it's just, it's gotten insane. I may or may not have a subscription to dog TV. You totally do. You totally do. I know it. I'm looking in your eyes. You do. You totally do. But why? Why is this a thing?
00:18:30
Speaker
Well, and that's the funny thing, though, is, like, everybody left cable to save money by going streaming, right? And now it's, like, twice as much because you've got 30 different streaming services. Everything's compartmentalized. You go to ESPN, or in my case, being from the South, you've got the SEC network, then you've got SEC Plus, and then you've got SECN, and you've got SEC2. It's wrong. It is. It really is.
00:19:00
Speaker
Except if you're doing promo, then it's awesome. Beautiful. There's so many opportunities there. Yeah. Yeah. So we're in a tough spot. We hate it. And love it. We love it all at the same time.
Creative Marketing and Networking
00:19:14
Speaker
We hate it, but we want to get paid. We do. But that's been half the problem. The reason we hate it is because we're not on it.
00:19:24
Speaker
Which would just make it that much more awesome. Can you imagine Victoria on the Dog Channel? Yes! Oh my god. Not that I know anything about it. The Westminster Dog Show. I think we need to start a campaign. Okay, we need Victoria to be the narrator of Puppy Bowl. No, I couldn't do it because I would have to, like, no. Oh, all the puppies. Yeah, you should be the voice of the Puppy Bowl. That's what I want.
00:19:51
Speaker
Well, see, there's a new angle that they haven't thought of yet. Those are the best when you're watching... Oh, God, I can get into memes all day long with all the animals. Okay, what's that? The ones where they animate them. So you've just got two animals that get the zoomies, and then you've got some genius as they're doing the voiceover for them with a regular human voice.
00:20:15
Speaker
but using the proximity effect to make it even funnier. You'll see the cat or dog just fly by the screen and then someone's going, hey, wait a minute, it's the best. I laugh until there's tears because it's stupid, but it's genius. Whoever's doing that, I keep saying, I need to make some clips like that and I don't and I should because it's funny, but I don't.
00:20:42
Speaker
Yeah, there's the one about the lazy dog at the top of the stairs and the other one is zooming around. And whoever is doing that voice, they're also zooming around however they're doing it with the mic at the time. And it's funnier that way because it makes it sound like he's down the hallway when he's left. Sure.
00:21:06
Speaker
So good. Yes. Pan left, pan right, pan left, pan right. But it's more than that though, because the Doppler effect and stuff too. Oh yeah, you've got it all. It's kind of like this. Yeah, it's so good.
00:21:17
Speaker
Yep. We could talk at some point about creating your own content. Should. Yeah. Let's do that next. Sounds good. We haven't done last call on this because what was the point of all this recording? I don't know. We were talking mostly about marketing. You want to talk a little bit more about marketing and then wrap it up? Sure. What other marketing do you do besides cold emails?
00:21:39
Speaker
I try to do a little face-to-face every month. Really? Yeah. Up here in town, there's actually, I didn't join the chamber in Duluth, but I was in the chamber in Reno when I lived there. But recently, since we've got the new
00:21:54
Speaker
Arena League coming up here in Duluth. I've got season tickets, I've met with the panel that owns them, and whenever they promote something, I try to be there and let them remember who this is.
00:22:10
Speaker
to be the voice of the Duluth Harbor Monsters. Just the promo voice, or would you want to do live events? I want to do the announcing of the game. Ooh, that's a special skill. I don't want to be the color guy. I don't want to be the color guy. I want to be the guy that says, and now Duluth the voice of your Duluth Harbor Monsters. I want to be that guy in the stadium. Okay, you want to be the voice of God, not call him the game. No, no, that's for people who know what they're doing.
00:22:38
Speaker
That's why I said that's definitely a special skill because you have to know the ins and outs. It's a special skill. I want to have fun. Yeah, I want to be the guy that goes... Or you're the color guy and you just provide the color commentary. I could, I could. You know, so you got the straight man who's calling. Now it's time for the kiss jam. He runs with the bone. Yeah, that's right, Bob. He really sure did run with that ball. Look at him go. That's what I want. Yeah.
00:23:02
Speaker
So yeah, I go there. They know. Because you kind of fill that role on the podcast sometimes. I do. That's true. They do. I do. I know. But I'm not here just for my looks. I get it. But yeah, I've approached them as the voice talent for the team. Yeah, they know who I am. They haven't responded. That's all right. That's all right. Keep poking them. So you do face to face.
00:23:24
Speaker
You have been part of a Chamber of Commerce. I've been thinking about joining the Chamber of Commerce, but my town is so small. Our population's like seven or eight thousand. So I don't think the Chamber of Commerce is really gonna do much for me. Do they have a chamber there for that town? They do. Yeah, they do. But it seems kind of not
Voice Trends and Youth Culture
00:23:48
Speaker
necessary. I did, however, just discover
00:23:52
Speaker
that there's a town about 20 minutes away that has a chamber that appears to cover a section of the I-94 corridor. So I'm, you know, further north from that, but maybe I joined that. Is there any public transportation? Not in my town. No.
00:24:09
Speaker
That's something I would really like to market to, because in New York, there's... Oh, to be like the voice of the subway or whatever. Stand clear of the closing doors, please. Yeah, that's what I think. Please mark the gap. No, not that.
00:24:25
Speaker
A train is approaching. What other creative, out-of-the-box things do you think we could do for marketing? I've considered, like, what if I got a billboard somewhere? I've considered that too, but I'm like, how many people are really hiring voice actors? Every time I think of them, I'm like, that's probably stupid. But what if I did? A voice actor on a billboard. Yeah.
00:24:48
Speaker
Or what if I ran a radio ad? That's an interesting idea, right? Radio, airtime's kind of cheap. What if I ran an ad that had like just a whole bunch of different tones and moods and whatever and was just like, yeah, your radio ads could sound like this too. Or they could really suck. Are your radio ads really crappy? I don't know if they let you do that.
00:25:09
Speaker
I don't know if they let you do that. Well, I don't know because a lot of the radio stations do all the promos on their station. So they may see that as a conflict of interest. No, if you're paying, if you pay for the air time, it's yours. Yeah. If I buy the air time, I can do what I want with it. As long as, you know, FCC compatible. There's a couple of HVAC companies that have just got awful ads.
00:25:36
Speaker
One of them is, one of them is like just a ridiculous over the top, you know, caricature thing that, okay, whatever. The other one, it's the owners, I think they're brother and sister maybe.
00:25:49
Speaker
Maybe, I don't know, maybe they're married. Is she a little bit country and he's a little bit rock and roll? Sure, but they're narrating and they're obviously reading a script and it's not good and the jokes don't land and it's just so bad. And because of how awful their ads are, I will never hire them. I will never use them to service my HVAC. Because they're not funny. He's like, I'm sorry, you're not funny, they're bad. They make me change the channel.
00:26:18
Speaker
Wow. So that's the opposite of what you want. So if your ads are like that, maybe I can help you make them not crappy. Could we put an ad on the radio about our podcast? We could or a billboard. But if we were going to do something like that, we would be better off advertising on somebody else's podcast for our podcast. Kind of like I know what I'm listening to.
00:26:44
Speaker
Someone who has a lot of distance. NPR, they do shameless self-promotion, right? Well, they'll say, hey, listen to our podcast on today's culture, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? Our voices aren't smooth enough for that. Listen to our voice. Are you saying that we can't sound smooth?
00:27:02
Speaker
No, I'm not saying we can't. I'm saying we don't. No. We're actors. We can do that. I can do that. I've just been told to sound more conversational, so this is what you get, all right? Pour some Coney Act. This is what you get. Let me just scroll on my phone and talk to you. Listen to our podcast. What? Today, we're talking about marketing. Join us as we discuss the possibilities. Disgust me. Don't touch me. I'm a teenager. Shush. Ew.
00:27:28
Speaker
I heard a couple of girls talking that way at the store last night. No. You punched him in the nose. No, but it was painful. It is. Have you seen the clip from Louder Milk? Yes. With Ron Livingston where he's like, oh my God, why are you talking like that? He goes to get a coffee and the priest is like, what do you want? Small coffee. Why are you talking like that? Why are you talking like that? You're making fun of me. Yeah.
00:27:57
Speaker
It was that. It was that. And she was genius to get. Yes. She's like, this one's 16 and this one's 16 and this one's 24. Let me add that up. It's like $56. That's not bad.
00:28:12
Speaker
Did you just do a math problem again? Why? She used her phone. That was her, wasn't me. She was adding up the price of some makeup. Oh my God. What a deal. That's not bad. I have like $100. That's totally fine. That's amazing. And then we can have like enough money to go get our matcha. Yeah. It hurts. Amazing. No cap.
00:28:36
Speaker
It's awful. I hate that that's a thing. But hey, hey, what do you do? Circle back to in a world because she addresses that at the end of the thing. That's true. That's true. It's actually good watching. She calls it the sexy baby voice, right? You're more than just a sexy baby. And that's like 10 years old, huh?
00:28:57
Speaker
Yeah, that movie's been up for a while. That is crazy that, like you say, she approached that that long ago. Our coach calls it Neveo Baby, right? Neveo Baby. I didn't realize it has been around that long. 11 years old. Well, for what it's worth, in the 80s we had Valley Girl, which was close.
00:29:18
Speaker
Like, oh my god. Oh my god. Like, totally. I know all the words to that song. Frank Zappa, Mignonette, and Dweezel. It's that with less air support. Yes. Because if you take Valley Girl and you take the air support out of it, you just naturally go like that. That's like why I can totally do it. Gag me with a spoon.
00:29:39
Speaker
People are going to tune out. I know they've already. Well, here's what you learned, kids. Don't use vocal fry like that ever, ever, ever, ever. And if you do learn
Conclusion and Future Plans
00:30:00
Speaker
how not to.
00:30:02
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, that's great. Thanks for listening, everybody. OK. Bye. We'll see you next time. Bye. Bye. See you next week.
