It is my personal belief that I have quite a deep voice. Not too deep but definitely not high pitched or squeaky, a bit of a contralto. It's quite a strong voice... maybe. Okay, I'm skirting around the issue here.
As a receptionist (albeit not for much longer) I am on the phone quite a lot... My script is the following:
"Good morning/afternoon, Capita IT Services."
This is my stock phrase every time. Usually followed by one of the following:
"No, sorry, you've come through to Capita. Unfortunately I think you have the wrong number."
"You're an automated voice."
"Hold on one moment, I'll just try and put through."
Written in order of popularity.
On occasion however I get asked this:
"Is that Colin?"
or
"Is that Doug?"
Now, the hope is they have quite effeminate voices... both of them. The concern is... I sound like a bloke.
Lucky for me, you'll never know.
