I'm working on a little promo for "Fingers & Fists," my audiobook about a waitress having spicy adventures with her hot boss, and I just found a sound effect for "greasing hands with olive oil." Absolute jackpot! 😂

*It remains to be seen if I can now build a promo around this for Pinterest that comes across as charming rather than obscene. 😅

Wish me luck! 💋

So far, everything I've tried is coming out sounding either filthy or just hysterically funny. 😅

I think the olive oil sounds *might* not work for Pinterest after all.

Here's what it sounds like though in case you're curious.

@AdaraAstin The audio sounds exactly like the description, or perhaps like a massage therapist applying oil. I guess any other interpretations must be due to your voice over. 😉

@dweldredge I find it sounds a bit drier and more frictiony than I expected! I was thinking it might be a bit wet and, I don't know, gloppier?

Regardless, I'm going for cheery French jazz cafe music instead, this time, but I'm saving the Olive Oil Sounds for another occasion. 😂

@AdaraAstin I've been spending most of my time over at Spoutible, which is proving to be much friendlier place than Twitter.

@dweldredge I nixed Spoutable as an option for me early in, I don't remember why now. I'm glad you're finding good alternatives that work for you. xo

@AdaraAstin I think the gloppiness would increase with the amount used...
