First-date voice: Xavier

First-date voice, nervous, earnest, and endearing

Prompt: A warm, slightly nervous male voice fumbling adorably through a first date. His mid-tenor is earnest and self-aware, cracking shy jokes, blushing through compliments, trying hard and being sweet about it. There's a I-really-want-this-to-go-well hopefulness in his tone. The sound of someone genuinely, endearingly nervous, whose nerves come entirely from how much he already likes you.

Script: Okay, so I definitely rehearsed some smooth openers in the car and I've forgotten all of them so... hi. You look wow, actually. Sorry, not smooth. I'm a little nervous if that's not obvious, which it is. Very obvious.
