GM Voices: The Asterisk Song

Inspired by a trip to AstriCon 2009, GM Voices proudly presents "Asterisk Song," the best song ever about open source telephony (and the voices that make it sound so good). Visit us at http://www.gmvoices.com.

LYRICS:

There was a trade show
We thought we should attend
So we flew to Arizona
To make some new friends

First we scanned their name
They listened to our voices
With 100s of voice actors
They had lots of choices

One guy picked a voice talent
A woman, not a man
Now his company has a voice
Consistent with its brand

What's it sound like when customers call your company?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Call Center Girls...

Around the world, programmers know the score
With Open Source software, business guys get more
Digium has the map on Voice over IP
Unified communications that's almost free

Asterisk, Asterisk, it ain't no punctuation
Asterisk, Asterisk, it's better communication

We met a guy name George
Developer extraordinaire
He had an application
That took calls and cut your hair

We were just amazed
Such a cool application
We gave him voice prompts
with natural concatenation

(Thats where we take multiple files and put em together to make... eh, just call us!)

Take it girls!

Press 1 for this and 2 for that
Or press zero if you just want to chat
If your IVR voices are dull and bland
Get GM Voices to match your brand

Asterisk, Asterisk, it ain't no punctuation
Asterisk, Asterisk, it's better communication

George's application needed
prompts that were unique
So the GM Voices Team
Had our voice talent speak

Now George's application
Gets 5 million calls a day
He's a billionaire
And all he does is play

Asterisk, Asterisk, it ain't no punctuation
Asterisk, Asterisk, it's better communication

We'll be happy to produce
A voice for your app too
We record in 90 languages
We'd love to talk to you
