Subject: 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.
