How many times

Usually 4 times before I feel comfortable with it. I want to make sure I sound clear. I don't like listening to my voice either.

My boyfriend had never change his message on his phone. Sice I'm living with him (2 years) it,s the same. I don't know how to change it. it's funny because it,s the message that comes with the phone. We speak french and the message is in english. Sometimes people arenot sure they are calling us lol

I normally take 2 attempts as sometimes Gissi seems to think that his Voice has to be on it to There is nothing wrong with your Voice you have a lovely Voice

You're absolutely going to hate me for this, but I can usually get my phone message within just one or two tries, bit tricky too, as part of my message I say in French..hehee Parlez vous, français?

HaHaaa!..It takes me so many times I don't even count anymore, lol! Every time I hear my voice I go OMG, is that really me?...ugh!..then I try to change my voice and sound more chipper and that's even worse, haha!...All I can say is, many, many tries, and sometimes even goes into the next day...haha! I remember one year my daughter(in her 20's then) made a recording on our answering machine for the Christmas holiday. She can talk like an elf, somewhere a cross between Mickey Mouse and a Smurf if you can imagine that.....we laughed sooooooooo hard making this recording because she sounded so silly, that we had to re-do it I couldn't tell you how many times, and it wasn't a short message....it was so much fun and such a great silly memory for me now that you brought this subject up....Thanks Hon, I haven't thought about that in a long time.

LoL Im like you Terry, I dont like how I sound on recordings. So it was taking me MANY tries, then finally I said F it, Im just going to put it back to the plain old VM lady saying the number and leave a message. I couldnt get that to work again...lol So I said Hi, you just dialed ..... and if you meant to do that, then leave me a message. Bye!....and left it at that. Im not changing it anymore! Bay Lay Gray xx

HAHAHA,I would say about the same time as yours ;) I do the same thing, I either mess up at the first one and try to make it better but just get too funny and start to laugh....lol then sometimes I bite my toung and of course...start over! lol

I leave mine with the pre-recorded voice. It's a very deep male voice. I have bill collectors calling and don't want them to recognize my voice. HAHAHAHA!! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

LOL the first time I had an answering machine I did record the message a few times until I liked it. BUt from them on I don't really care much . I do it once and as long as I didn't mumble any words amd the message is clear, it's fine with me LOL So 1 try for me now :)

It took one try for me. But then my message is kinda brusk. It says: You have reached me. I am not answering the phone. If you are a creditor, you will get your money when you get your money and not one minute before that. If you are someone that I want to talk to, leave your digits and I will call you back when I feel like it. I know it sounds kinda mean, but it gets the job done. The people who really want to talk to me leave message and everyone else just hangs up. It is perfect. I almost never have messages from anyone other than my family or my real friends.

It takes me a while! Reason being that I always find something really really funny when I'm trying to be serious so I had to redo it about 10 or more times! Luv & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear!

It usually takes me a few times. Right now, thought, I don't even have a message because my cats erased it. Once the greeting is erased, it defaults back to the original one that came in the machine. SO that's what I have.

well actually my friend it takes me so many times sometime that i lose track after a few times.i have to keep on recording until i don't hear all the kids yelling and screaming in the background,so i just keep pressing the listen to your message until i get it right.because sometimes you will hear hi i am not here right now,then all of a sudden in the background you here would you stop touching the t.v. or what ever the case is,and i dont think people want to hear that on the message lol.pattie

Usually three times to comfirm,sometimes two.There are some unexpected things ,too.Like several days before I had a call with one of my co-operaters and wanted to have her E-mail address ,she told and I repeated twice ,finally I should phone her once again ,because when I send the message to her I really foung that the mailbox was wrong.

LOL I hate my voice so I write out what I want to say and I just read it off. I never check to see how it sounds. I just do and move on. LOL

It usually take me two times. Because once I listen to it the first time, I find that I don't like how my voice sounded, so the next time I try to lighten my tone, and if it sounds reasonably OK, I'll leave it at that. If I do it too many times, I know my messages will only get worse. : )

When I record messages on my phone I attempt several tries but I don't like my voice either! I usually ask my daughter to do it for me, she loves to be on the phone!

We were trying to do that the other day but we kept mucking it up so we have left our old message as it is for now.

Hi TerryZ! haha..I don't like the sound of my voice too that is why i really don't like recording it. It is as if it is not my voice. haha.. I hear my voice when I talk but it seems different when I hear it in a recording machine. haha.. Take care and have a nice day. :)

I hate hearing my voice on the phone. I would let my daughters do the recording. It would sound much better.
