Why it matters
French IVR: clear on the line, and correct for the France you're calling
Phone audio is heard on a compressed line by a caller who's often already impatient, so clarity beats everything — but a brand's phone experience is still part of its image, so it has to sound composed and human rather than robotic. The French-specific call is which French: Metropolitan for France, Belgium and much of francophone Africa, or Canadian French for Québec callers, who notice a Metropolitan read at once. We keep the same voice on record so future prompts always match.
The tricky craft in French is concatenation with liaison. Menus stitch segments together — numbers, dates, "appuyez sur le 1" — and French runs words together with liaison and elision, so a segment recorded in isolation can join awkwardly. We script and record the segments so the joins sound natural rather than clipped.
On delivery, French phone systems bring their own quirks — European versus North-American line standards, and platforms from Genesys or a cloud contact centre down to a simple on-premise PBX. We hand over audio at exactly the sample rate and file type your system expects, and archive the session so a prompt you add a year from now still matches the voice and level of the originals.

French ivr voice over — common questions
Metropolitan or Canadian French for our IVR?
Metropolitan French serves France, Belgium and much of francophone Africa; Canadian French reads as local to Québec callers, who notice a Metropolitan read. We cast for the callers you're serving.
Can you record for clean concatenation?
Yes — where segments are stitched together (numbers, dates, menu options), we script and record them so they join cleanly, allowing for French liaison and elision so nothing sounds clipped or robotic.
Can you deliver for our platform — Genesys, a cloud contact centre or a PBX?
Yes. Whatever the platform, tell us the file type and sample rate it expects and we deliver ready to load, and archive the session so any prompt you add later matches the originals.
How much does a French IVR voice over cost?
It's driven mainly by how many prompts and menu branches your call-flow has, plus any later additions. Send us your call-flow or prompt list and we'll come back with an exact, itemised figure, backed by our Price Match Promise.
How fast can you deliver?
Most projects are delivered within 24 to 48 hours; larger jobs are scheduled with your dedicated project manager against agreed milestones.
Can I direct the session remotely?
Yes. Attend in person at our Central-London studios, or direct live over Source-Connect, Zoom or Teams, so you get exactly the delivery you want without travelling.
What audio formats and specs do you deliver?
Whatever your project needs — broadcast-standard WAV, MP3 or split stems, at the sample rate, bit depth and loudness (LUFS) you specify. Just share your delivery spec and we'll match it.
