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
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.
