But Allison is more than the Voice of Asterisk. She’s also a heated yoga enthusiast and great story teller. Listen to her anecdotes of voiceovers for a prison system, collection agency and one request for a special 1800 service.

We met at Astricon 2008 in Glendale where DIDXchange was the Asterisk Developer Area Room Sponsor. Right after my lightning talk on IAX2 vs. SIP, she was to talk with me and ask me questions. (Astricon is Oct. 13-15, 2009 this year.)

She’s known as the “whipped cream” of Asterisk, but there’s no fluff in how she is dealing with the recession. Companies are not cutting costs in the area of telephone prompts, and Allison Smith is one of the most well-known, talented persons in voiceovers. She believes in good customer service which includes fast turn around, follow-up and checking in with each customer at least two times per year.

To do business with and learn from Allison visit http://www.theivrvoice.com/. You can also register at http://www.theasteriskvoice.com for free downloads of voice! She’ll be at ITEXPO West Sept 1-3, 2009 and you can also visit with one of her customers at SpeechTek at the Cepstral booth August 24-25, 2009 in New York.
