Can I get a professional voice artist to record messages for my IVR?

Can I get a professional voice artist to record messages for my IVR?

Short answer: From the Call Flow Preview (or, if available, the Audio Library) you can request a professional voiceover for your IVR prompts. Choose language and voice style, share your script/notes, submit the request, and the finished audio will appear in your Audio Library to assign to Welcome/Menu/Voicemail nodes.

Verify and test

  1. Play/Preview the file in Audio Library.
  2. Use Preview in the builder to confirm prompts and paths.
  3. Place a test call from a phone; check volume, clarity, and that the correct files play.
  4. Review Call Logs to confirm the path (e.g., IVR → Sales Queue → Agent).

Success criteria: The right audio plays at each step, at a comfortable volume, with clear pronunciation.


Troubleshooting & revisions

  • Mispronunciation or wrong file: Reply to the delivery email or contact support with timestamps/words to revise.
  • Audio too quiet/loud: Ask for a gain adjustment; typical target is consistent phone‑line loudness.
  • Format issues: Request WAV mono (8/16 kHz) or MP3 as needed for telephony.
  • Change of script: New lines usually require a new request/quote.
Revision availability and fees depend on the scope and vendor; include all changes in a single response where possible.
