How can I record better quality voice mail messages on my phone?

No matter what I try, headset, speaker on, regular - I can't get my recorded message to sound decent.  Any tips?

Hello BarryR1956. Let's ensure that you can record a great voicemail for your phone. How exactly are you recording your greeting? You want to ensure you're in a quiet setting once you record. I typically prefer to record not on speakerphone to ensure no background noise is picked up. I hope this helps you further.

• Make sure the microphone is not clogged with dirt or dust.  Blow it out or use a toothpick or pin (carefully) to clear any debris.
• Sit in a quiet or silent place to record the message.
• Be sure you are not covering the mic with your hand; perhaps speak directly into the microphone.
• Speak clearly, a bit louder and a bit slower than feels "normal", and enunciate.
