Tips
A greeting callers finish listening to
Short and specific wins.
Keep it under 20–30 seconds; callers skip long greetings.
Say who they've reached in the first sentence.
Tell callers exactly what to leave: name, number, reason.
Give a real call-back time (“within one business day”).
For clinics, include what to do in an emergency.
Record separate holiday greetings in advance and swap them in.

FAQ
Voicemail Greeting Generator questions
How do I change my voicemail greeting on iPhone?
Open the Phone app, tap Voicemail, then Greeting (top-left), choose Custom and tap Record. To use an AI greeting, play the downloaded clip near the microphone while recording, then tap Save. Visual Voicemail must be supported by your carrier.
Link to this answerHow do I change my voicemail greeting on Android?
It depends on your phone and carrier. Usually: open the Phone app, go to Settings → Voicemail → Greeting, or call your voicemail by holding 1 and follow the menu to record a new greeting. Play the AI clip near the microphone while recording.
Link to this answerCan I upload an audio file as my voicemail?
Most personal phones don't accept uploads. Business phone systems, VoIP services and many virtual numbers do — upload the MP3 or WAV from Kenerate there.
Link to this answerWhat format do phone systems need?
Many accept MP3 or WAV; some require WAV at 8 or 16 kHz, mono. Download WAV from the Voice Studio and convert the sample rate in your phone system if it asks.
Link to this answerCan I make a bilingual greeting?
Yes. Write both languages in one script and use an ElevenLabs voice, which reads both naturally — see the bilingual demo above.
Link to this answerIs the voicemail greeting generator free?

Anatomy of a good voicemail greeting
The best greetings answer four questions in under 30 seconds:
- Who did I reach? — name or business.
- Why no answer? — busy, closed, away (optional).
- What should I leave? — name, number, reason.
- When will I hear back? — a specific promise.
Getting an AI greeting onto your phone
Business lines are easy: most phone systems and VoIP dashboards have an upload field for greetings. Personal phones usually only record through the microphone, so play the clip from your computer or another phone, close to your phone's microphone, in a quiet room, while it records. Listen back once before saving.
Robot voicemail vs natural voices
Voicemail systems record and store messages for callers who can't reach you [1]. Old automated greetings sounded robotic because they stitched recorded fragments together. Neural voices sound like a real receptionist — which is why a short, well-written script matters more than ever: callers now hear every word as if a person said it.
