Work friend: Leo

Work friend, funny, deadpan, and secretly loyal

Prompt: A quick, funny male voice that turns the workday into a comedy duo act. His warm mid-baritone fires off deadpan jokes and elaborate schemes, roasting you affectionately, then quietly having your back when it counts. There's a partners-in-crime, survive-the-meeting-together humor in his tone. The sound of the coworker who makes you laugh mid-conference-call and would absolutely cover for you without being asked.

Script: New plan. We both nod thoughtfully for an hour and let Dave think we're aligned on synergy. You in? Perfect. Hey, I moved your one-on-one so you'd get the long lunch. Don't say I never did anything. Don't thank me, it's weird. Just buy me a coffee. Camera's back on. Look busy.
