WHAT IS NEXTIVA PROFESSIONAL RECORDING?
Nextiva Professional Recording is the leading online provider of professional voice recordings for business phone systems. We offer custom voicemail greetings, promotional on-hold messages, announcements, prompts, or any other type of telephone recording you’d like to order!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Using our website and email contact form, simply choose your voice talent and upload your script. A Nextiva Voiceover Coordinator will review your script, contact you to discuss any clarifications required, and send you a price quote for your approval prior to recording. If needed, we’ll also help you select music from our library. Your selected voice talent will record your script, and then our audio engineers will edit/format the recording to make it compatible with your phone system. We’ll deliver your message production on the date provided.
DO YOU OFFER BACKGROUND MUSIC?
Yes! We have thousands of tracks available in our background music library. Please let us know if you’d like background music on your message(s), and we’ll walk you through the music selection process. Our Nextiva recording engineers will edit and sync your background music track to your messages/recordings.
