Telephone auto-attendant voices

[howartp]

Hi everyone.

 

Wasn't sure if this was Hardware or Phones (which is more mobile telephony rather than landline telephony).

 

Just wondering what you use for auto attendant/voicemail voice recordings?

 

Is it just some random person in the office, who inevitably leaves during the year and isn't around to record any changes?

Or Microsoft Sam?

Or some 3rd party website/person/service?

 

Has anyone used any decent 3rd party ones?

One person normally does them all for ours. They're updated for job positions rather than individuals though for most so "Head of Year 9" etc.

Our receptionist does ours and if the receptionist leaves and new audio needed, we tend to re-do everything again for consistency.

No one seemed to like to be the voice when I was in my last job so I ended up doing them, I was told the other day that I am still the voice of them after several years and I know when I called a friend's business I was also still the voice on his system. I think that means my Yorkshire tones are perfect that or no one can be bothered to replace it as it takes effort

Hi John - long time no see!

 

Nobody likes it here since our reception manager left 18 months ago - she fairly happily did most of them as long as I wrote the spiel for her.

 

I do the emergency closure ones and other such bits, but my voice is so droaning on the phones that nobody (rightly) wants me to do the main ones.

 

It's me that's wanting to get some form of recording voice to save chasing down a willing volunteer in school.
