Twilio How to Play a Message on Caller Parties End?

Question

I was able to implement call whisper using twilio api (runs/plays message on called parties) end using this.

<Response>
    <Dial>
        <Number url="call_whisper_url">
            415-123-4567
        </Number>
    </Dial>
</Response>

Where call_whisper_url contains the <Say> verb. All good.

But how do I play something on callers end? If I do something like this.

<Response>
    <Say>Play for Caller</Say>
    <Dial>
        <Number url="call_whisper_url">
            415-123-4567
        </Number>
    </Dial>
</Response>

It will first play the message then initiate the call. How can I do it simultaneously, meaning: Twilio will initiate the call while playing the <Say> verb? Or it is the wrong approach?
