Examples
Complete recordings for each kind of phone audio, read by Australian voices, with every script written out underneath. Every business named here is invented.
Example recordings
Play each one, and read the words underneath it. Borrow what fits your business and change the rest.
Every business named on this page is invented. These recordings are made to demonstrate, not taken from a customer.
Plays while a caller waits. Most practices run two or three of these so the loop does not come around too quickly.

“You have reached the voicemail for Kembla Fitness. Leave your name, your number and a short message, and we will call you back when the gym reopens at half past five tomorrow morning.”
Before and after
The same sentence, in the same voice, twice. First as the voice comes out of the studio, then after it has been levelled, timed and finished for a phone line.
Loud in places, quiet in others, and it starts and stops abruptly. On a phone line that is the version a caller reaches for the volume during.
One consistent level from the first syllable to the last, room to begin and end, and clean edges so a looping message does not click.
Corella Street Veterinary is invented, and both recordings were made for this page. The words are the same in each, so the only thing that changes between them is the finishing.
Your own words
The recordings above are demonstrations of invented businesses. They show you the voices and the standard of the finished work, but they cannot tell you how your own message will sound, because your message is not written yet.
That part costs nothing. Write your script, or have it drafted, pick a voice, and hear five seconds of your own audio finished exactly the way the complete recording will be. Take a new one as often as you like while you change your mind about the wording. You pay only when it sounds right.
Hear five seconds of your ownBy trade
The structure barely changes from one business to the next. What changes is the handful of things a caller most often rings to ask about, so those are the things worth saying while they wait.
If you would rather not start from a blank page, the assistant in the studio will draft a script from your business name or your website address, and you can edit every word of it afterwards.
Start from a blank page or let the assistant draft it. Either way you hear five seconds of your own audio before you decide anything.
No account needed. Payment comes after the preview, not before.
