On hold message voice over
On hold message voice over made to your brief.
Callers on hold hear the same loop many times, so the messages need to be useful, short and recorded in a way that can be refreshed without recording everything again.
Why it works
What matters in on hold message voice over
Three things that decide how this work turns out.
- 01
Useful, not repetitive
Messages are written to inform, such as opening hours and options, and rotate so callers do not hear one line twice.
- 02
Blocks you can update
Prices and offers are recorded as separate lines, so changing one does not mean re-recording the loop.
- 03
Music-ready
The voice is delivered dry for your hold-music provider or phone system.
