      Our phone system has a custom greeting if we do not want to use robot tone for greeting... I have 2 options. First is to get a voice talent person within the company to record the recording. Second is to get from somewhere else (hired voice talent or download from somewhere). I want to know if anyone know any website that has variety of greeting recording available for download?

      Some greetings I can think of are Generic Holiday.. We are closed due to whatever... Memorial, Independence, Thanks Giving, Christmas, New Year, etc.

        We record our own and change them as needed.

          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.

                              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.

                                Calling @MattSpeller ...

                                      sound of man pulling cork out of scotch bottle with his teeth

                                      sound of man spitting out cork

                                      sound of smooth old scotch hitting ice cubes

                                      BEEEEP

                                            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.
