Life is pretty funny. Then, before you realize it, you're dead. So, try to enjoy yourself along the way. Yell at your pets. Stare into the sun. Eat more beans than you should. Trip the elderly. And, of course, listen to this dumb thing at full volume. Scott wrote the copy and provided the VO. AccuShred's own Nate Segall supplied the voice of the trapped president.

The fun never ends at Tecumseh Center for the Arts, especially if you have no expectations of finding carnival rides, games of chance and loose-moraled lady carnies when you go. (They don't have any of those there, so you won't be disappointed when you don't see them.) But you will find great local, regional and national music, comedy and variety acts, plus many fully functioning toilets available for guest use. 

Scott wrote, voiced and engineered this radio spot to promote the appearance of an oldies group called Pure AM Gold. Careful when you listen, though, or you just may find yourself singin' along to the instrumental music bed.

Pull up the nearest hay bale and have yourself a listen to this piece for Wellington Implement. The Northeast Ohio dealership sells, rents and services tractors, combines, excavators and other types of farm and construction equipment. All we do is make fun of the imaginary Wellington townspeople who don't really go there. It's a tricky combination of the absolute truth and hurtful lies that we really should be ashamed of, but for some reason aren't.

After hearing the audio, Wellington Implement President Tom Stannard sent us these comments: "They're fantastic. As always. You guys outdo yourselves with every production!"

Scott wrote the copy, provided the voiceover and hosed the manure off the microphone when the session was over.

Desiree Grosman is in charge of marketing and the customer experience for D&F Plumbing, Heating and Cooling in Portland, Oregon. When she read the copy Scott had scribbled with a blue crayon, she wrote: 

"These [messages] are great. Honestly, some of the best yet! One of our call auditors just mentioned how many compliments she hears on the [On Hold Marketing] recordings. She’s even had people ask to be put back on hold just to keep listening. So, fantastic job! Thanks again. These are really solid!"

Scott found himself blushing for three days after he received the nice comments, until he realized he had actually come down with a horrifying case of Seborrheic dermatitis.

We've noticed that a lot of animals seem to enjoy interacting with this audio. They'll listen to it, talk back to it, paw at the air to try to touch it.

That makes Scott very happy since he wrote the copy and provided the voiceover.

But when the animals have had enough of the audio, they tend to act aggressively toward it - hissing, lunging, growling, showing their teeth, spraying urine or lifting their shirts just enough to reveal a handgun tucked into their waistbands.

So, maybe it's best that you enjoy this Humor On Hold production apart from all animals.

You might as well stay away from any plants, too. Just in case.

Don't let yourself get caught up in any of this drama. Trust us, you don't need it. Just keep your head down and go about your day. Focus on your newspaper or your donut or your Chinese finger prison. This is better left to professionals. 

Scott wrote the copy, provided the voiceover and thought seriously about not doing either while he was doing both.

After Scott sent the copy for this Humor On Hold production to Chris Hamann, president of Lakeland Auto and Marine, Chris replied, "Oh my God. This is absolute gold! Looks great. Thank you!"

That's when Scott knew that Chris had either sustained a massive head injury or he had huffed too much model airplane glue, or he was dangerously dehydrated, or he hadn't been to sleep the night before, or a large creature of the forest had placed a primitive straw to Chris's ear and sucked out every last morsel of good taste. 

Scott wrote the script, provided the voiceover and delivered the bad news about Chris to his family.

These two juicy slabs of audio magic from BusinessVoice were just barely recognized at the 2025 ADDYs, presented by AAF Toledo in late February. Each earned a Bronze ADDY Award, which is the advertising world's equivalent of a door prize. But since the certificates include the word "Award" on them, we get to brag about 'em here. 

Because it was part of a Facebook post, the 2024 Humor On Hold Sampler won in the category "Online / Interactive / Social Media - Single Execution." 

The production for Lakeland Auto and Marine won in the category "Film, Video & Sound / Branded Content & Entertainment - Non-Broadcast." 

Scott wrote the copy. Amy and Scott provided the voiceover. And if you listen closely enough, you can smell their wet dogs through your speakers.

Scott wanted to get in the proper frame of mind to write this radio commercial promoting a show by the Celtic band Crossbow. So, he stuffed himself with traditional Irish foods. By the time he was ready to record the voiceover, he was up to his neck in boiled bacon and cabbage, potato soup, barmbrack, champ, colcannon, coddle and boxty. We think you'll hear the difference it made.

While you're listening to this audio, you may hear yourself using words like "EEEWWW" and "BLECH," but even though your brain is telling you to dump out, try to stay with it. The experience is sure to make you stronger, while giving your immune system a thorough workout.

The copy just sorta' oozed out of Scott one day. Amy and Scott secreted the voiceover into a lage pail.
