For the best results, we recommend a studio recording of your representative’s voice. If needed, we can also arrange remote voice recording via telephone or smartphone app. Most often, a “special message from the CEO/President” will be a component of an on hold program, with the remaining messages recorded by one of our professional voice talents. This maintains a “spokesperson” approach and creates a distinction between standard content and the CEO’s announcement.
On hold messages have been around for quite some time. Today, they have become even more useful to businesses in need of some communication organization. If you want customizable extensions, VoIP access and phone call analytics, you need to give on hold messaging a try.

However, if there is no other option but to place your customers on hold (perhaps during a busy season), you need to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
Your file will be delivered to you with 15 seconds of background music (or blank airtime if you do not choose background music) after the voice message. This will give you 15 seconds of music (or blank airtime) between each message when run in a loop.
So what can we do to avoid inflicting further musical misery on our own customers while they’re patiently sitting on hold? We could just go back to playing a ringing sound, or an intermittent beep just to let people know they’re still connected, but that would be awfully dull. The best compromise is relatively simple electronic music that doesn't have too much going on as the ideal choice for hold music as it requires far less refined sound quality to get a decent rendition down a telephone connection.
"I absolutely loved the humorous material that plays when a person is on hold. Absolutely brilliant! Some of it cracked me up. Couldn't stop listening!" - Blake Bishop / Bryant Better Hearing

In order to get started with custom on hold messages, you will need to determine your phones MOH (Messages On Hold) capability. If you’re using a traditional pbx business phone system, you’ll need an on hold media unit to play the audio. If you’re using an ipbx or hosted voip set-up then all you need to do is upload the audio file as no media device is required. And, if your a small/home office business using a traditional off-the-shelf 2-4 line telephone then you’ll need the media device and an on hold module adaptor in order to make your standard analog phones on hold message compatible.
