      Lots of larger companies call a voice acting agency and hire people that way.

        Another way is a Text to speech program. I have done this a time or two.

              I've always used voice talent for this. It's usually pretty well priced as the person can do the recording anywhere and just email it to you. You just have to email what you want them to say.

                A little planning ahead and willingness to use audacity makes it very affordable.

                  Maybe I should ask them to record one LONG greeting and audicity out into each specific greeting. Like "We are closed on Christmas, Newyear,blah blah...." xD

                  How many messages total and how long for that price?

                    AT&T Labs used to have a site, which doesn't seem to want to come up currently.

                    Try this out and see what it does for you. The US Crystal voice is decent.

                      With Speed2 it seem decent and useable. Thanks!

                          I'll call them on Monday for more information. How was Heather's voice?

                          I wish I could have Siri record these greeting xD

                            I do the recordings myself. I have a few drinks and channel my best Nick Offerman.

                                  sound of smooth old scotch hitting ice cubes

                                        VoiceBunny.com has a lot of different talent on their site. Haven't used them yet, but keep them in my back pocket in case a client wants some professional voice.

                                          We have a lady at our office with a very nice articulate speaking voice. I finagle her with Starbucks occasionally and she updates the holiday message when needed.
