Answering Machine Audio
You can download answering machine audio files on the internet to make funny or entertaining messages on your answering machine to amuse and entertain your friends. Answering machine audio is important because, when people call your answering machine, the message you convey tells about who you are, and what you believe in. If you can spice up your answering machine messages with neat answering machine audio files by celebrities who tell your friends and colleagues to leave a message at your number, it adds a little more style to your presentation and more fun to their day as well.My friend even had an answering machine which played recordings of bugs bunny saying “what's up doc!, eh, leave a message”. It was hysterical, and everyone who heard it knew him as the Bugs Bunny guy, which added to his popularity. However, many people who have clients or colleagues calling their house want an answering machine audio message that is much more regular and straight forward, more professional sounding than this. They are less concerned with fun than with sounding businesslike. I've heard stories about a friend who is a professional photographer, loosing a very important client because of his silly answering machine audio message with a tough guy Arnold Schwarzenegger voice telling people “leave a message, and I'll be back,” making reference to Terminator 2. The client thought that this wasn't very professional, and said as much on his answering machine, and decided to take his business somewhere else. Because of that, my photographer friend lost a potentially very lucrative wedding job all in the name of having a little fun.
I've actually heard radio stations offering answering machine audio recordings by celebrities as prizes for calling in or appearing on a show. This would be so cool, if your friends listen to the same radio as you do. Personally, I'm a big fan of car talk on NPR, and the idea of having Click and Clack telling people to leave a message on my answering machine is pretty funny to me. I'd be a bit of a minor celebrity over night with my friends. They'd all want to know how I'd managed to do it, to get these two great radio personalities to record a custom message for me. And I wouldn't have to tell them. They would just have to listen to my answering machine audio message and try to figure it out for themselves.
