The Best Professional Voicemail GreetingsCheck out our tips on making sure your voicemail is ready for your next missed call!
Rehearse your greeting a few times before you press record. Plan your pauses and select natural places to take a breath. If you are recording directly into your phone don't hold it to your ear like you are talking on the phone. This can produce a muffled tone. Hold the phone out in front of you a few inches from your mouth for the clearest recording. This may require some trial and error. So playback your greeting and make necessary adjustments on your re-record.

The latter is vague and feels like more of a burden than the first request.
