    Hey Neil,

    I think maybe you’re trying to pull our legs. It wouldn’t happen to be yourself by any chance, now would it?

    Sláinte….

    Hi Neil,

    Me thinks it sounds like Kevin Riley with a wedgie.

    I nailed it, didn’t I? ;-)

    Thanks for the bit of fun.

    Hi Neil,

    Well, I detected a bit of an “English Accent” there. I will guess
    it to be Matt Garrett …..pretty good e-zine articles Matt…:)

    Sorry to be boring, but I also think it’s Michael Cheney.

  12. John P Says:
    February 8th, 2008 at 11:48 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Yes, it’s the excitable Michael Cheney.

    I had to unsubscribe. I couldn’t take any more of his exuberance!

    February 8th, 2008 at 11:55 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi, my first association even before I read any comment is
    “Sir” Michael Cheney. You play it a bit faster, I think, so the pitch is higher, but
    from the intonation,… again. Michael Cheney..
    Yours
    John
    P.S. Have A Great Weekend.

    The second clip did it for me.

    Michael Cheney is my geuss.

    Fun contest!

    Hey Neil & Linda,

    Seeing as how I aced the only linguistics class I ever took more than twenty years ago… I suppose I’m qualified to guess. How’s this:

    I’d say it’s Matt Garrett doing a Michael Cheney impersonation!

    -Sabrina

  16. Barbara Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 12:40 am MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi Neil,

    Would I be way off track if I think it is YOU! NEIL SHERING.

    It’s fun and I agree, we marketers do need more fun stuff.

    Thanks!

    Barbara

  17. Ruth Shultz Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 1:26 am MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi Neil,

    I go along with Barbara. It is Neil Shearing. I think we take things far too seriously as well.

    Kind regards,
    Ruth

    Hi Neal & Linda,

    I think it sounds like you Neil after Linda has had her way with you.

    Hi Neal & Linda

    Sounds like Michael Cheyney to me.

    Have a great weekend.

  22. Theresa B Says:

    Hi!
    Yep, that’s gotta be Michael Cheney. Thanks for the fun!

  23. Matt Garrett Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 2:48 am MyAvatars 0.2

    lol!

    thanks Sabrina, you made me laugh! :)

    not sure I could do an impression of Michael, my best impressions tend to be of drunken Irishmen.

    I’m going to guess that it’s Robert Puddy impersonating me after one too many guinessesss..

    having audio on your blog’s cool Neil, thanks for the reminder that I needed to look in to doing it too!
    I’ll get a video done to show how easy it is over the weekend.

    cheers,
    Mattg

    “Everyone has a serious responsibility not to be serious.” MMY

    Of course its you Neil! The accent gives it away!

    The human brain has cosmic potential, so let’s get serious here, shall we?

    Now I want you to guess what I look and sound like, without video!

    This is called “transcendental marketing.”

  26. ken Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 5:59 am MyAvatars 0.2

    It is Michael Cheney

  27. Terry Ackroyd Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 7:03 am MyAvatars 0.2

    Neil
    Wow something NON serious from Neil Shearing!! Normally I need a cup of tea or something stronger and an hour to spend to view anything from you.

    Nice to see you in the flesh by the way rather than the ten year old photograph we normally see.-Has the baby left school yet by the way?

    To be boring I can only think of Michael Cheney, although if it is, you must have slowed it down a lot.

  28. Links Directories Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 7:58 am MyAvatars 0.2

    Could it be Michael Cheney Neil?

    February 9th, 2008 at 8:50 am MyAvatars 0.2

    Well I hate going along with the masses but Michael Cheney was the first name to pop into my head when I heard the first clip.

  31. james Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 9:30 am MyAvatars 0.2

  32. Martin Avis Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 10:00 am MyAvatars 0.2

    I’m going to go against the crowd here.

    It sounds to me a lot like another Neil - Neil Travers.

    But my ears often do deceive me!

    February 9th, 2008 at 12:47 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi Neil

    Thanks for something different… Even i think its Michael Cheney, but just to be square, my guess goes to Michael Campbell…

    Keep posting

  34. Neville Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 1:11 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi Neil,

    Gotta be in it to win I suppose. Another one for Michael Cheney.

  35. Paul Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 1:17 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Michael Cheney

  36. Shin Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 2:58 pm MyAvatars 0.2

  37. Dave Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 3:10 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi Neil and Linda,

    It must be Neil on HELIUM impersonating Michael Cheney…

    Great idea!

  38. Anthony Harris Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 4:08 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    As with several others, I think it’s Michael Cheney.

  39. Graham in the U.K. Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 4:23 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi Neil and Linda
    Well what a good idea … a little light hearted relief from all the internet noise and big new product launches!
    well done!
    I guess I’ll have to agree… because when I heard it, I had to laugh because it is so Michael Cheney….
    close your eyes and imagine a scotsman with a rather weird sense of humour ….$37 a week ( now no Scotsman likes to spend money do they?
    especially $37 a week!
    take care
    regards
    Graham in the U.K.

    February 9th, 2008 at 4:38 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    I pick the second one because the audio is clearer

  41. JAY Milliorn Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 4:52 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    The only marketeer in know to get that excited is
    “Marlon Sanders”

  42. Pj Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 5:14 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    I can’t say who it is if it is not you and your wife,but I learned alot about you in the process..It would seem to me you are not just another Guru persay(not meaning anything bad about it) But alot more to you than the almighty dollar .So will pay alot closer attention to your news letters from now on.And be carefull about deleting my emails!

  43. Roger Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 5:20 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Well, it definitely is Michael Cheney! It’s gotta be him, no doubt!

  44. Frank Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 5:25 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Hi guys,

    I’d it’s Neil himself!

  45. Don Stewart Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 5:42 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    That is Ed Dale having fun…

    Thanks for having some fun, The world is too serious and you are right.
    Is this your blog? How do I find it to give my answer?

  46. Patrick Rawlings Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 5:49 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    What a “bloke”, I think it’s you, Neil!

  47. Neil_Shearing Says:

  48. Michael White Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 6:14 pm MyAvatars 0.2

  49. Paul Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 6:25 pm MyAvatars 0.2

  50. Linda Silverio Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 7:50 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    I believe that it is you Neil! God Bless you as you pick a winner! Hello, to you Linda!

  51. Den Says:
    February 9th, 2008 at 8:23 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Sounds like a bad impression of an Aussie after a night out on the town. Haven’t got a clue they all seem to sound and write sales pitches as if they all suffering a huge case of mass hysteria so taking the very last comment into consideration I’d say Frank Kern with tongue-in-cheek.

  52. Chris Cooper Says:
    February 10th, 2008 at 10:17 am MyAvatars 0.2

    It’s the infamous Mr Cheney - Aberdeenshire laird and multi-billionaire…

  53. Charles Ward Says:
    February 10th, 2008 at 10:57 am MyAvatars 0.2

    I think it’s Ed Dale - just the sort of thing he would do

  54. Marty Nicholas Says:
    February 10th, 2008 at 7:28 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    No clue,

    But I’ll say Neil Shearing, just for grins.

    Warm regards,

    Marty Nicholas

  55. Izrul Fizal Says:

    I do believe it MUST be: Michael Cheney!!

    February 10th, 2008 at 11:11 pm MyAvatars 0.2

    Well, sounds very much like our Micheal Cheney for me. Or overtones of Rory Bremner. I’ll stick with Cheney.

  58. JohnW Says:
    February 10th, 2008 at 11:48 pm MyAvatars 0.2

  60. Jim Hunt Says:
    February 11th, 2008 at 9:03 am MyAvatars 0.2

    I am convinced it’s Michael Cheney!

    I agree with you that all this money making is taken far too seriously over the pond, so I did a series of videos extracting the Michael from “Maniac Surfer” Frank Kern. http://YouTube.com/revolition9. What do you reckon?

    Jim

  61. Graham Says:
    February 11th, 2008 at 2:21 pm MyAvatars 0.2
