Need to get 4 separate prompts recorded for our IVR system. I'd do it, but new customers would spontaneously hang up upon hearing my voice. Plus I only have a shoddy microphone.

How much would it cost to get them professionally recorded ? It's about 50 words over 4 prompts. Any recommendations ?

A friend of mine is a professional VO - I'll send him this link and maybe he can help.

Wow, for how many prompts? It's a few hours work even with the editing.

I could ring a lot of chat lines for that and find a lady with a nice voice ..


.. AND I could claim it as a business expense! scratchchin

Come to Cheltenham. We'll find you a nice philly from the ladies college to sing in to your can. OK-yar?

We charge £80 per prompt and usually turn stuff round in 24hours. Drop me a line if you want to hear some sample voices.

Christ, I'm in the wrong game recording music!

Our gear is proper pro stuff which probably rips spots off a small VO studio, and we wouldn't charge near that for that amount of work. And I could turn it around in a day and have the files emailed back or downloadable, or on CD.

PM me if interested OP!
