Voice/Greeting recording for generic holidays and other messages...Where do you get them from?
-
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

An day and night IVR and a couple misc messages comes in at $350ish
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.

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

You can hear samples on the website of all the talent

Why on earth would you call? Everything is on their website.

Forgot I have used this one also.

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.

When I used Digium, their default voice actor was available for hire. I had her do some recordings for prompts that were aways in use or regularly scheduled. For other unexpected or very dynamic items people would either hear me or someone else if I coerce them into recording it.

I have done professional recording in the past and have the equipment here to do so. So hence why we do our own. I have had a few others do it in the past.

Same here. I got one of my old jobs specifically because I had an audio engineering degree... and boy, did I use it. Recorded and edited all the phone prompts for an IVR system in 4 languages (the HR lady had a nice voice and could speak German, so she was the voice talent). In fact, I'm preparing to do a new auto attendant greeting at my current company. And of course, I'll do a fancy one for the IT department's voice mail, complete with music.

We keep ours really simple. Someday maybe I will do separate ones but honestly we answer our phones 99% of the time so don't need voicemails etc. all setup special.
