1 turn up: To "turn up" the volume is to increase the volume. In the dialogue, Philip says, "if someone isn't hearing my argument, I just TURN UP the volume until I get a sale". This means if Philip has problems selling products to clients, he simply speaks louder! Logically enough, "turn down" means to decrease the volume. Example: I can't sleep with that loud music - please could you TURN the volume DOWN!
2 pitched: A "pitch" is a frequency (of sound). Therefore, if something is "high-pitched", it produces high frequency sounds. Example: After the rock concert I had high-pitched ringing in my ears. In the dialogue, Edward suggests he is "high-pitched" like a flute because he has a high voice.
3 background: The term "background" is often used to describe the back part of a painting, the area that appears to be far away. Example: This Rembrandt painting has mountains in the background. If someone "stays in the background", they maintain a low profile and prefer to be unnoticed. This is what Edward means when he says that he is "often in the background".

1 reached: "Reached" is the right answer here. We often begin voicemail or answer phone messages with "you have reached the voicemail of X". To "reach" in this context is "to arrive at".
2 voicemail: This is the right term. Your "voicemail" is your "answer phone": a telephone message box where people can leave voice messages for you to listen to. Your voicemail is very useful if you can't answer your phone because you're in a meeting, bungee jumping, etc.
3 leave: "Leave" is the term used here. "Please leave a message" is a very useful telephone phrase! If you are talking to someone on the phone, it would make more sense to say "Would you like to leave a message?".
4 tone: "Tone" is the right word here. A "tone" in this context is a "beep" or short musical note. "Leave a message after the tone" is an indication to a caller that they should start talking after the beep! This is a great sentence to use in your voicemail! In another context, "tone" can refer to pitch or intonation: "The tone of his voice makes me laugh".
5 urgent: "Urgent" is the right answer. If something is "urgent", it is "pressing" or "needs to be dealt with quickly". Example: "-I need to talk to Bruno. -Is it urgent? He's in a meeting. -Yes, it's urgent! His dog Stink is unwell!".
6 cell phone: "Cell phone" is the correct term here. "Cell phone" is the term used in the USA to describe portable phones that you can keep in your pocket. You might be interested to know that the British name for these phones is "mobile phone" or just "mobile". In the USA, this term is sometimes shortened to just "cell".
7 415: 415 are the first digits in Brian's cell phone number. In the USA, the first 3 digits of a phone number represent an "area code". 415 is San Francisco, 212 is New York City, etc. Noting down a telephone number can be tricky, but it's a very useful skill!
8 839: These are the right numbers to end Brian's cell phone number. In the USA and the UK, telephone numbers are usually given digit by digit, so 630537 would be pronounced as "six three zero (or 'oh") five three seven. It's simple really!
9 get back to you: This is the right phrase. To "get back to someone" is to "respond to someone" or to "reply to someone". In the context of this voicemail message, "to get back to you" means "to return your call" or "to telephone you". Here's another example: "If you'd like to leave your name and number, I'll ask Bruno to get back to you as soon as possible".
10 tomorrow: "Tomorrow" is the term we hear here! Tomorrow is the day after today.
