The script
(Formal)Hello, you've reached [Your Name], [Your Title] at [Company]. I'm unable to take your call right now. Please leave your name, number, and a brief message, and I'll return your call within one business day. Thank you.
(Friendly)Hi, this is [Your Name] at [Company]. Sorry I missed you. Leave your name, your number, and what you're calling about, and I'll get back to you by the end of the next business day. Thanks, and talk soon.

The teleprompter scrolls at the speed you set in words per minute. Tick "Record audio while reading" to capture a take; the audio stays in your browser until you download it.
Coaching notes
- Say '[Your Name]' a touch slower than the rest. It's the one thing every caller needs to catch, and it's the word people rush most.
- In 'name, number, and a brief message,' give each item its own small lift so it sounds like a short checklist rather than one long word.
- 'Within one business day' is a promise. Land it with confidence, and only keep it in the script if you can keep it in real life.
Try it three more ways
- Read the formal version as a senior partner at a law firm: low, measured, unhurried.
- Read the friendly version as a small agency owner who's genuinely glad you called.
- Record each version once at 12 seconds and once at 18 seconds, then compare which sounds more trustworthy.
