Well, I once got a callback from a mobile operator support rep, and she was speaking so perfectly (tone, pauses, the way she built sentences, everything), that our conversation came out like:

  • Booooring! Give me human. Human operator. O-pe-ra-tor! Person!
  • I'm sorry, but you will have to deal with the fact I'm real lol
  • !!!
    I don't know what she was doing at a call center, because that was a professional voiceover or advertisement level

...folks frequently presume i'm a recording on telephone calls; i used to do radio so i guess my extemporaneous diction comes across more composed than anticipated...

I used to keep a tally of how many people asked me if I was a robot when I worked at a call center. Every time someone asked the conversation basically followed the bullet points you laid out lol. The company did also use my voice for the intro/directory, so that probably didn’t help.

Before then I worked at Disney and they filmed/recorded me a couple of times for international training videos and the like. I’ve always spoken clearly and enunciated properly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
