[no]

Just make it slightly more explicit. Like, for example, instead of saying—

[looks down at the paper to find a quote]

"Do you like this?" you could, um, ah, change it for something like... "Do you like the feeling of my hands on your lower back?". It's good to give the listener a little more to work with.

If you specify that, how are they supposed to imagine that you're putting your hand in their secret place? This is why it says you're going lower here [points]. And this part here [points again] is meant to imply that you're circling their button of desire. That's why I suggested that you should be more out of breath here [points]. Do you really want to say that with words?

[he was mid frap sip and just starts coughing as she says that]

[I'm not offering to go for help this time]

[wheezing, his voice comes out hoarse after the drink went down the wrong pipe]

I'm not supposed to—

[clears his throat]

The secret place touching shouldn't be happening yet, I prefer doing a slow buildup.

Okay. Should I move that to page three?

[flips through]

How about start of page four?

You're not going to give people enough time to play along to what you're saying if it's that far back. How many minutes of your voice will they have left by then?

...

How long is this supposed to be?

I've seen anything under four minutes referred to as a scam, so for good value it needs to be at least seven minutes long.

Seven minutes is still a scam.

[man whose ASMR scenario streams and VODs are at least one hour long]

Not for limited content. The idea behind voice packs is to sell them for a limited time only, and then they're gone forever. You're selling a special moment in time, not making content that will give you more streams later or be available to new paying subscribers.

[SIGHS]

I suppose that makes sense, but still, for a situation like this, seven minutes is...

Your manager won't say no if you want to make it longer.

[but]

[taptaptaptap on the page]

Is your rate per word? Per minute?

[shakes her head]

EmpEnt pays in bulk.

And normally how would you handle this sort of project? Outside of EmpEnt, that is.

I'm fairly sure that to answer that question here of all places would be a breach of something.

[reaches for his (incredibly fancy fountain pen) and writes something on a piece of paper.

then slides it across the table towards her.

it's a phone number written in beautifully impeccable cursive.]

[oops there goes being normal]

... I'm willing to pay for this myself, out of pocket.

Weren't you reluctant to let me write the bare minimum for you just yesterday?

... I would like to see what sort of work you're able to produce without the limitations set by my company.

Why. Aren't you perfectly capable of writing your own scripts?

And happy with them, too?

You may or may not have heard about this already, but us performers of the Limelight Stage are only back in Port Manteau temporarily. Once I board the ship again, I will return to being limited in terms of how much content I can reliably deliver on a regular basis.
