IVR & telephone voice over services

Professional IVR, on-hold and telephone system prompts — clear, friendly and on-brand, in 100+ languages. The voice that greets every caller and guides them where they need to go.

Make every caller's first impression count

For many customers, your phone system is the first time they ever hear your brand. A clear, warm, professional voice on your IVR menus, greetings and on-hold messages sets the right tone — while a robotic or muddled prompt does the opposite.

We cast the right voice, record every prompt cleanly and deliver in the exact format your telephone system needs. When your menus or messages change, we make updates quick and painless, so your line always sounds current.

What our happy customers say

We have used GoLocalise on a regular basis for projects in a number of languages. The service we receive is great. The team is always friendly and professional.

Jo SamuelAnimator at Pixel Circus
We’ve worked with the GoLocalise team on countless video projects and have always had the same consistent, great experience. Not only are they responsive and quick on turnaround, I can always trust the VO will be done right – they are always 100% clear with communication and ensure their talent is prepared to record by asking necessary questions upfront before recording. Highly recommended and will definitely work with them on future projects.
Jonathan LappsAccount Manager at Epipheo
It was a pleasure to work with David and the team at GoLocalise. David gave me lots of help and advice, guiding me through my first subtitling project. He really knows his stuff! The experience was completely pain-free. I would not hesitate to recommend GoLocalise – outstanding work at a good price.
Kerry GilliesDirector at Synergy Language Services
They’re reliable, adaptive and obsessed with quality. And while you can never be 100% guaranteed of perfection, you can be sure GoLocalise will go the extra mile to get it right every time. Whether that’s hiring extra resources, hopping on multiple calls or even changing their internal processes, they’ll do what it takes. We’ve worked with them now for over to 5 years and we are truly thankful to have such a strong localisation partner for our business.

IVR & telephone voice over FAQs

What file formats do you deliver telephone prompts in?

We deliver in the format and specification your phone system needs — including telephony-standard files — so your prompts drop straight in and play back cleanly.

Can you record prompts in multiple languages?

Yes. We record IVR and on-hold prompts with native voice actors in 100+ languages, keeping tone and pronunciation consistent across all of them.

Can you update our prompts later?

Absolutely. When your menus, opening hours or messages change, we re-record the affected prompts to match the originals, so nothing sounds out of place.

Can you add music to on-hold messages?

Yes. We can mix your on-hold voice with background music and produce looping messages ready for your system.

How quickly can you turn prompts around?

Short prompt sets are usually delivered within a day or two; larger multilingual projects are scheduled with your project manager.

How much does an IVR and telephone voice over cost?

IVR is priced by the prompt, not by the minute, because that is how the work actually arrives — a spreadsheet of two hundred short lines rather than a script. What matters for the budget is how many prompts there are and whether you will be adding more later, since a system recorded piecemeal by different voices is the commonest reason phone menus sound broken. Send the prompt list for an itemised quote, with our Price Match Promise.

How do I get started with an IVR and telephone voice over?

Send the prompt list as a spreadsheet with the file names you want, and tell us what your telephony platform expects. We will return the files named and encoded so they drop straight in.

What's included in an IVR and telephone voice over from GoLocalise?

Casting, a directed session, top-and-tail editing on every prompt, and delivery encoded for telephony — usually 8 kHz mono µ-law or A-law, named exactly as your system expects.

What can I use an IVR and telephone voice over for?

We produce IVR and telephone voice over for phone menus, on-hold messages, voicemail and auto-attendant prompts — all recorded to broadcast quality and ready to publish.

Why choose GoLocalise for an IVR and telephone voice over?

A phone system is judged on the joins. Prompts recorded months apart by the same actor at a different distance from the mic will not concatenate cleanly, so we keep your session settings on file and re-create them when you come back for more.

What audio format do you deliver IVR prompts in?

We deliver telephone prompts in the exact format your phone system needs — commonly 8kHz mono WAV, with µ-law or A-law encoding where required — so they play back cleanly rather than distorted. Tell us your platform, or send an existing prompt, and we'll match the spec.

Can you match new prompts to our existing IVR voice?

Often, yes. If your current prompts were recorded with a voice still on our roster, we can add new lines in the same voice so your menu stays consistent. If not, we'll help you choose a close match and re-record the set for a seamless system.

Do you record individual prompts or the whole menu tree?

Both. We can record a handful of new prompts or a complete auto-attendant, on-hold and voicemail set, named and numbered to your call flow so each file drops into the right place in your system.

Can you provide IVR prompts in multiple languages with a consistent style?

Yes. We record native-speaker prompts across 100+ languages and keep pace, tone and structure consistent across every one, so a caller gets the same experience whichever language they choose.

Ready to refresh your phone system's voice?

Send us your prompt scripts and target languages and we'll get you a quote quickly.
