Re: Funny / Clever / Original Message....

[ QUOTE ] Believe it or not, George isn't at home... Edit: Youtube. [/ QUOTE ] Damnit I came in to post that... I actually used that as my voicemail for like 2 years... [/ QUOTE ] We would get along well irl then as I used this for about 2 years too, except I found the background audio online and sang it myself replacing the word george with my real name. I have a decent singing voice, so it didn't sound stupid.

[ QUOTE ] it didn't sound stupid. [/ QUOTE ] Can anyone who's ever left a message on your machine confirm? [/ QUOTE ] Yes, I got TONS of compliments, but I eventually changed it as it was overplayed to all the people who were calling, and to long to listen to to actully leave a message.

Re: Funny / Clever / Original Message....
When I'm not poasting incessantly at 2+2 I am a recruiter, so I listen to people's VM all day. General agreement that the cutesy recordings are dumb, but there are worse: occasionally I'll stumble upon someone whose entire message is some hip-hop song or something stupid like that. No mention of their name or anything. I generally don't leave a message for those people and make a note to never call them again.
From a business perspective, my all-time favorite recording belonged to some guy who was referred to me. His recording consisted of him yelling his name into the phone, then beep. I think his name was Ernie Gonzales, or something close to that. ERRRRRRRNIE GONZALLLLLLLLLLES. Beep. Awesome.

Re: Funny / Clever / Original Message....
I've always wanted a famous voice but never thought of it whenever I had the chance. Something like
"This is Vince Young. Bulldog isn't available right now, but leave a message and he'll get back to you. Go Titans!"

Re: Funny / Clever / Original Message....
I don't even have a personalized message. You just get the AT&T lady telling you I am unavailable and to leave a message after the tone or press 5 to page this person.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't like this solely because if I'm dialing a number for the first time or am otherwise unsure about it then I don't know if I have the right person because it's a generic recording. Minor nit, but it happens about once a week or so or so.
