Latest artist...ME!

So I'm right in the thick of the R's and I have come to an interesting artist, Rich Graves, i.e. me. Yes, I have an MP3 of myself on the computer. It's a presentation I gave at a conference in March 2008 called "Hang Up the Phone and Increase Customer Satisfaction". I thought the presentation went well as I had 212 people in the room (but who's counting). So this is my job, sounds like boring subject matter but I like it.

I've never listened to the full recording of the session and it was very interesting to say the least. A few thoughts...
  • My voice with a good recording isn't as horrible as I had originally thought
  • I don't say "um" or "ah" a lot but I do over use "certainly"
  • I wish I knew how to tell a joke. the only time I get laughs is when I use horrible lines like "tough crowd" or make fun of myself. But I still love telling bad jokes
It's really strange listening to yourself talk for an hour. I highly recommend trying it. Or if you want to listen to my session send me some money and I'll burn a CD for you.

  1. Can you just send a CD of the jokes?

  2. If there were enough quality jokes to fill a CD I would make one. Even the bad jokes aren't good enough to but on a CD
