I wonder if any of them calls were from a certain motivational speaker…living in a VAN …DOWN BY THE RIVER?

My son was telling me that when the food network first started, there were no ovens in the studio kitchens. You sled the baking pan on a metal shelf below the counter, then banged that shelf with your knee to simulate the sound of an oven door closing.
This was my first thought too. I endorse this idea (despite the previous thread).
SageGrouse:
Basically the ‘Foley’ thing is because I want to give the caller the best experience over the phone. To me, phone sex is the one sort of work where the caller is happy, the company is happy, the fantasy-maker is happy and nobody gets hurt. It’s a GREAT line of work.
Sadly, nowadays, it does NOT pay well. I started in 1988. Rate of pay was 5 minute call $4. ten minute call $5. Fifteen minute call $6. 20 minutes was $7.25 and 30 minutes $9.25.
Today… the pay is the same. And the calls have dwindled from twenty or thirty a day to one or two. IF I am lucky. In fact I just turned in my invoice for a 2-week stint. $53.20. So no it doesn’t pay like it used to. The Internet has siphoned off a LOT of callers. Free stuff is everywhere and fewer and fewer people are going with non-camera girls. NteFl rt has RUINED the business with girls who can set their own prices. Some will do calls for $1 a minute. Other girls for less than THAT. I’ve seen $0.50/minute girls.
Why do I stay? Because, quite frankly… I LOVE the work! I love my callers (what few are left) and I love what I do. In my case it is NOT about the money. A $200/month job. It’s about the love.
Even more so. I admire your dedication.
I really doubt it.
