1 crying: "Crying" is a reaction to strong emotional stimuli such as pain, sadness, and happiness. In this dialogue, Jean asks Kevin if he is "crying", and Kevin replies that he just has fluid "leaking" from his eyes! The verb "to cry" is regular: cry/cried/cried.
2 sound: "Sound" describes auditory things such as noise or music. The expression "the sound of (her) voice" is a common one, used to describe the quality of someone's voice. In this dialogue, Jean tells Kevin to follow the sound of his voice; he wants Kevin to approach him by using his words as a guide. The term "sound" rhymes with "pound", "crowned" and "found".
3 voice: The "voice" describes the sound or sounds produced by a person (generally). In this dialogue, Jean tells Kevin to follow the sound of his voice; he wants Kevin to approach him by using his words as a guide. The term "voice" rhymes with "choice", and is pronounced with a "oy" sound!
4 couple: "A couple" generally describes a "pair" or "two" of something, often people involved romantically. Note that the construction "a couple of (hours)", the same used by Kevin in this dialogue, is less precise and can refer to two to three hours.

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.
