About this script
A voicemail arrives from the owner's own number, dated tomorrow. thirteen messages, iMessage style, about 40 seconds as a video, and Voicemail kicks it off with "New voicemail: 0:34". Ben and Voicemail carry the whole script, which fits the Free plan's two-person limit, and every one of them is made up. Free accounts can use iMessage without paying.
Pacing it beat by beat
Messages one and two, "New voicemail: 0:34" then "From who?", set the scene. Message 7 is the longest (9 words): "It also says: 'Do not take the red coat.'". Give it room.
The turn begins at message 11, "The voicemail has ended.". Move quickly through "Please play it again.", then hold "It says: 'Too late.'" for two seconds. Three of thirteen lines ask a question.
Making the video
The button below sends The Voicemail From Tomorrow to the editor, set to iMessage. iMessage comes with typing dots, read marks and reactions in the editor, but not an online status. Show typing dots just before the last bubble.
Free plan: the first four messages only, ending at "That is not possible.". The other nine need a paid plan. Caption it as a fictional chat.
Part two hook
the red coat is on the hook, and the voicemail has a new message. That is the next episode. Let "It says: 'Too late.'" be the last thing viewers see, and mention Part 2 in the caption.
Tips
- Say "It also says: 'Do not take the red coat.'" out loud at normal speed and trim it if you stumble.
- Keep Voicemail's "It says: 'Too late.'" on screen for two seconds before the ending card.
- Give Ben and Voicemail fresh invented names; the horror story then belongs to you.
- Publish the next horror episode soon; a gap of more than two days costs viewers.
- Place "From who?" on its own for a full second after the opener.
