Hi all, After many complaints (including car manufacturers saying the american prompts are unexceptable, EEEK) I started on a quest for real "English" asterisk prompts. The only one I have found is here >> http://www.g7ltt.com/VoIP/vmfiles.html <http://www.g7ltt.com/VoIP/vmfiles.html> And no nothing else on the WIKI looked helpful (e.g. only American voice actors etc) These prompts are actually a lot better than the standard prompts, according to my customer. But unfortunately they arent perfect. For example all of the queue prompts are missing as well as a number of other prompts. Personally I like Allisons sultry tones telling me that shes doing her utmost to connect my call :-) Couple of questions: 1) Does anyone else have english prompts they can share / point me to? 2) Does Mark (the kind guy that made the above) post on this list and is there any possiblity of adding some of the most needed prompts? Failing that I will give him an email and see what the chances are. 3) Failing everything else would anyone be interested in sharing the cost and getting some professional (female?) recordings done for all of the standard asterisk prompts? Currently I'm facing the possiblity of having three different people talking to the caller before they are put through. Company & recording warning, UK transfer message and then American queue announcements. :-S So this has suddenly become a fairly urgent matter. thanks in advance for any help / advice on this Alex P.S. Sorry for the double post Asterisk-UK listers but as soon as I sent I thought it would be best to post here as well since this is pretty urgent for me.

Does Mark post on this list? Hmm. Let me think about this one ;-} I was trying to get a "movement" going to make sound files in other English language "variants" but it all seemed to die off. I have not found the time to complete the Southern England Male prompts but if you send me a list of the ones you specifically need I could do them for you particularly if there was a fee involved ;-} Let me know off list.

Sorry if I've missed the bus, but was enough interest gathered, and has anyone managed to put together a UK voice file collection?
