Cosmos Laundromat · Half a minute

Practice this voice acting scene

Victor asks Franck for a minute of his time. Franck doubts the value of that time and agrees only to half. The comedy comes from a confident pitch meeting a skeptical listener.

Dry humor and persuasion

Choose Victor to keep repeated requests persuasive instead of impatient. Choose Franck to give the questioning reply and final compromise different beats. Leave pauses only where the recording cue allows them.

Listen to the original before recording. Your selected character uses your takes; the other role keeps its original performance. Select both roles to perform the complete exchange or take turns on the same device.
