[Asterisk-Users] Voice Prompts, what do you think? Good voice. Should we record a new prompt-set?
Hello all, I have someone working for me who has a nice phone voice. I looked at some available prompts for asterisk, and found both the free and commercial ones to be pretty horrible. The asterisk ones are good, but I wish I had more to choose from sometimes. My question is, what do you think, should I bother having her record a full spectrum of prompts for asterisk? If you want to hear her voice, the ivr/bri number is 1-914-693-0821 If it is something the community would want, I can spend the time with her, otherwise I am fine with the regular voices. If you wanted any custom prompts done, we could do it. She works for me anyway so its not a big deal, but for anything extensive I should give her some money to do it. This is not a studio setup, but we have a good microphone setup and the quality even on BRI sounds great. I just need to spend some time adjusting the audio levels on my bri and in the wav files. For me, this worked out well, since my own voice I admit sounds very anal on the phone. Feel free to call and listen, but the timeout goes to fax. There is a good chance I will do it, but want some feedback. What would be especially helpful at this point would be suggestions for new prompts for asterisk. This way if I spend like 2 hours doing it with her, at least I can cover any new prompts that may come up. I like the Allison prompts, but sometimes they sound too sexy. April's voice(my employee) is a bit flirty, but I think it works in a good way. If I did it I would probably give away a basic prompt set, but charge $50 or $100 for the extra stuff like pin codes and things that are not normally used for a personal nature.
