When your phone greeting needs a real human voice.
Most business phone audio does not need a recording session any more – that is why we built the online studio. But some recordings carry more than information, and those are still worth producing the traditional way.
That side of the business is still here.
BrennerMedien has been recording professional telephone announcements since 2003. We record, direct and edit in the studio, with the production steps phone audio needs, and you receive the finished files prepared for the phone system they will run on.
To quote, we need the script or a description of the situation, roughly how many separate prompts, the language, and which phone system it is for. That is usually enough for a concrete price.
When a real voice is the right choice
Not a ranking – a list of situations where the extra effort pays off.
Your flagship line
The number on the letterhead, the one most callers reach first. It changes rarely and represents the company every time it plays.
A brand voice you keep
A recognisable voice used consistently across years, so returning callers know where they are before a word of content arrives.
Scripts that need interpretation
Where emphasis, pacing and tone carry meaning – not just clear pronunciation of the words on the page.
Complex IVR structures
Large menu trees where dozens of prompts have to sound like one consistent whole, recorded in a single session.
Studio vs. online
| Online studio | Studio recording | |
|---|---|---|
| Suits | Everyday business phone audio: voicemail greetings, opening hours, holiday closures, IVR menus, on-hold messages. | A flagship line, a distinctive brand voice, complex direction or a recording that will represent the company for years. |
| Voice | 41 AI voices, all unlocked. | A professional voice artist, chosen from casting samples. |
| Turnaround | Minutes. You can change it yourself whenever it changes. | A recording session: script, casting, recording, editing – the slower route. |
| Price | $22 per finished greeting. Preview as often as you like for free. | A concrete quote, depending on length, number of prompts, voice and usage. |
| How to start | Open the online studio. | Email us the script or the situation. |

Questions
When does a human recording make more sense than AI?
When the recording carries the brand rather than the information: a flagship main line, a voice a company keeps for years, a script that needs interpretation rather than clear delivery. For opening hours, holiday closures and department menus, the online studio is usually the better tool – it is faster and you can change it yourself.
What does a studio recording cost?
It depends on the length, the number of prompts, the voice and the usage. There is no fixed list price the way there is for the online studio. Tell us what you need and you will get a concrete quote.
Can I hear the voice before deciding?
Yes. Casting samples are part of the process – you choose the voice before anything is recorded in full.
Can I combine both?
Many businesses do. A recorded main greeting for the front line, and the online studio for everything that changes during the year.
