As many of you know, I am currently spending time in the recording studio creating tracks which will be made available for download on www.thedatingmatrix.com.  I have taken examples from my own life and scripted various dialogues including openers, telephone conversations, and Qualifying/Closing dates.    

It turns out last Friday was my first session, and I had hired a girl to play opposite me for one of the date dialogues.  She was initially screened by my office, and then I spoke to her via telephone.  Before I could see her head shot, which she included as part of her resume, I could tell she was attractive.  Confident, attractive women have a different voice than those who aren’t.  It’s the same for men.   When we met at the studio, she didn’t disappoint.

The dialogue we recorded is about a couple that meets in a yoga class and from there develops a relationship.  We start with Ted’s opening line to Jessica, their continued conversation during the 4 week class, and then a Qualifying Date followed by a Closing Date. 

Having written the dialogue, I was keenly aware that the whole purpose was to create a romantic relationship between these two.  However, I wasn’t so much concentrating on the result of our conversation as much as I was focused on its execution.  The sound engineer, his assistant, and a couple of staff from the studio itself were all going to take the journey with us.  I was paying for all this and I wanted to make sure I got it right.

At any rate, with everyone ready and in place, we began the dialogue.  As my leading lady and I made our way through the script, it became pretty obvious we were developing our own connection.  After a couple of hours and some corrections, we finished.  Well, not really.  To be honest, I didn’t want our session to end, I truly felt like we had just created a bonding experience.  It was just as apparent that my co star felt the same.

Finishing a little later than scheduled, I was running late to a private viewing of the new Maserati Gran Turismo at The Collection in Coral Gables.  I casually mentioned that I needed to get going to make it on time.  The thing of it was, I wanted to take her with me.  So I asked her, would you like to come with me to see the car.  She said yes.

To make a long story short, not only did we enjoy each others company drinking champagne and checking out the car, but continued the fun over dinner with some of my friends afterward.  Now, the dilemma I find myself in is that I believe it’s important to keep this relationship professional while we are working together.  But the point is that what you will learn from The Dating Matrix will give you these exact results.  I’ve literally spelled it out for you.

It can’t get any more real than this fellas….
