Complete production service for professional messages for your company's telephone answering system

Your telephone answering system is often the first direct point of contact between your company and a customer. What the customer hears in the first few seconds defines their perception of your brand. A professional message, with the right voice and the right words, transforms that moment into an opportunity to communicate, inform and build loyalty. At Voices & Media Solutions, we have been producing telephone answering messages for over 22 years, for businesses across all sectors, in the UK and internationally.

Human voice or AI voice: choose the right solution for each need

For most telephone answering messages, human voice over is the choice that guarantees the greatest naturalness, emotion and impact. However, for certain situations, AI voice over may be the most efficient solution:

  • Large volumes of IVR files: systems with dozens or hundreds of messages where AI voice allows the entire set to be produced more quickly and consistently.
  • Frequent updates: businesses that need to change messages regularly, where AI voice eliminates the need to reschedule recording sessions.
  • Proprietary brand voice: through voice cloning, the company can have its own brand voice available to produce and update content at any time.

Businesses across all sectors trust us

  • Hospitality and catering: messages that reflect the hospitality and style of the brand, in English and other languages.
  • Healthcare: clinics, hospitals and practices with clear, reassuring and informative messages.
  • Banking and insurance: messages that convey trust, security and professionalism.
  • Call centres: IVR voice guides for efficient management of high call volumes.
  • Retail and distribution: messages aligned with campaigns and promotions, updated frequently.
  • Public institutions: clear, accessible messages in compliance with institutional communication requirements.

FAQs


Professional telephone answering messages are personalised voice recordings, produced by professional voice artists, played during automated call answering. They include welcome messages, on-hold messages, call routing messages, closing messages and voice guides for IVR systems. At Voices & Media Solutions we offer a fully managed service: we help write the scripts, select the voices, handle the recording, post-production and delivery of files in formats compatible with any telephone system.


The cost depends on the number of messages, the number of languages, the need for licensed background music and the complexity of the answering system. We do not publish price lists because every project is different. Contact us and we will send a quote.
