A: Morning, my name’s Aimee and I was hoping to get a prosthetic done for a photoshoot?
R: Good morning Aimee, I’m Robyn if you didn’t already know and I would absolutely love to make a
prosthetic for you! Are you available to discuss what you would like right now? We can arrange a separate
time if you aren’t, that’s perfectly fine
A: Yeah, I’m free now, no worries.
R: Great! So- do you mind giving me an idea of what you were thinking of getting?
A: So, I’m a make-up artist and I’ve been doing a series of mythological creatures and pretty much how I
figure out what ones I’m going to be doing, I let my followers choose from a selection. I’ve been doing
purely makeup since the start of my career, no prosthetics or anything so I wouldn’t even know where to
start with making my own. So, uh- basically, it’ll be a cyclops but beautified essentially, so like there’ll be
the one large eye in the middle that’ll probably be covering my nose and just above my eyebrows and it’ll
have the realistic looking eyelids. Then, I want the iris to be the main thing that people will be looking at, I
want it to be purple and just very vibrant and outstanding, you know?
R: That sounds so interesting! I’m a fan of all things mythological so I’ll definitely have to have a look at
what you’ve already done.
A: [Laughing] yeah! It’s really been a lot of fun so far, especially having so many people involved in what is
being made next.
R: I bet! So, Aimee, I have an idea about the iris that I would like to propose if you wouldn’t mind?
A: Oh, yeah sure! Go right ahead.
R: Thank you. So, what I was thinking when you say mythological and purple and the fact that you want it
to be the main thing that people look at-
A: Right-
R: Exactly, so what I was thinking I could do was make it a split iris, have one half a very bright purple and
then make the other a different but equally vibrant colour?
A: Oh, that sounds awesome actually- yeah I’d love that.
R: For reference, the iris would look almost like two goat irises pushed together? I’ve been sketching a bit
while we’ve been speaking so if you wouldn’t mind, I’d love to send you a couple pictures of the sketches
A: Ah yeah of course, you can just send them through text to this number. That should be fine.
R: Lovely, thank you! And [short pause] they should be sent now, hopefully at least [laughing]
A: Ah yep, just got them. [short pause] Oh wow yeah, that looks amazing.
R: I’m so glad you like them. So from this point on, I’d estimate that this prosthetic would take possibly a
week to make, what with all the drying times and everything.

2. A: That sounds fine- sounds accurate, yeah.
R: And I’d also like to ask if you’re well versed in my pricing?
A: No, sorry.
R: Oh, no problem! Well, my hourly rate is £16 and I only charge for the creation time so you won’t have to
worry about me prolonging it [laughing].
A: [laughing] Sounds great!
R: Awesome, and of course I won’t begin the charges until I can get that accurate estimation of how long it
would take me to make the piece.
A: Alright, thank you.
R: That’s no problem, Aimee. I’m quite excited to start working on this one, the stuff you described sounds
really fun!
A: Me too.
R: So if you could just make sure to now save my contact details so that you don’t accidentally miss a call
because I will be contacting you soon. Is there any time that you may be unavailable?
A: No, no you’re fine.
R: Amazing then. Well, thank you for choosing me to realise this awesome idea of yours, and I know you’ll
enjoy it!
A: Thank you so much, goodbye.
R: Talk to you soon, bye.
