Customer Reviews
Best voice
I love to listen to her story telling!
You’re not fooling anyone
Hey Phoebe. You do this random, not from the states thing when you say “dot com”. Please stop. You’re from America and quite frankly you sound like an idiot. Look up your name on Reddit. You’ll see.
Smooth Velvet Voice!
What an elegant and eloquent host. English is my second language and Phoebe is my grammar role model! And zero vocal fry! In a sea of Kardashian sounding-air heads, it’s refreshing to hear a voice worthy of its listeners.
