Most people hate to record a greeting on their answering machine almost as much as they hate to leave a message on someone else's answering machines. In all actuality it is much less difficult than what most people assume it is. In just a few simple short steps you can have your message recorded on your machine.
Step 1: Decide what you want your greeting to say. Do you want your message to be just a recitation of your number? Do you want it to be business like? Do you want it to be funny? Do you want your name recorded on it? Make sure that your recording is not offensive to anyone.
Step 2: Write it down on a piece of paper so that you have a script. Read from the script so that you say exactly what you want to say. Do not give out any information on your recording that you don't want everyone who calls to know. For example: Do not say you will be gone from a certain time to a certain time or will return on a certain date and time etc. These are not safe messages.
Step 3: When you are ready to record your message make sure there is no background noise to distort the sound of the recording. Speak clearly and audibly.
Step 4: Remember to keep it short and simple. Remind the call to leave their name, short message and their number so that you can call them back as soon as possible.
Step 5: Play back your recorded greeting and make sure it sounds suitable to your ears and that you can hear it and understand it clearly. Make sure the greeting is not overly long as most people will hang up before they reach the end of a long greeting.
Step 6: If you are a single female consider the option of having a male member of your family or a friend record the greeting for you as an extra security measure so that people do not assume you are a female alone by yourself.
When recording your greeting try to remember that people from all walks of life might listen to your greeting. Be as courteous and pleasant as you can be as you never know who might actually call your phone in your absence. If you promise to return their calls it is best if you truly try to do so not just ignore the messages and hope that the caller will forget that they called you.
