Ok,
Well after trying and trying and realizing i sound like a.. well an elton john fan ;) I have decided to get some one else to say the message for me, if you are good just PM me or message me -GraphicalEdge on aim with a little sample or I can give you my number.

Thanks

There was a post here, a few months back, with the URL to a site that allows you to create small recordings...using their file library of voices. It was free and pretty cool!

Anyone remember that URL???

Really? Did it sound like a robot?

Not entirely. I mean, it sounded a bit like some of the automated phone operators...but it sounded good! If we had a need for it, I would definitely not be ashamed to use one of their recordings.

You could choose different people's voices and male/female.

BTW - I've been searching Google since my last post...looking for it for you!

Found it! :D

Ouch $5000? You bought this just to provide a message?

Thank you for searching btw..

Check this one out :)

I checked it out but neither of these would make good phone recordings in my opinion. Maybe if you wanted to sound like a high tech company, maybe like a gimmick that would be cool but past that I don't know.

Yeah true :( there must be some one on here with a professional voice ;)

I am terrible for recordings.. I am looking for the same thing to do our voice mail and a few other things.

OK had to get her permission to post it first.

She is a friend of mine does it on the side. Quite good at it too.

What does she sound like?

Any idea what's better, a male or female voice mail voice?

I personally think female would be more relaxing, but just curious if anyone has ever seen a psych study done on the subject or anything...

Here is a link to a wav file of the recording she did for me. http://techark.com/wav click on greeting .wav
