What are Voice Ringtones and Where Can You Get Them?

Voice ringtones are the latest and greatest innovation in the world of mobile phone ringtones. Sure, musical ringtones are OK. There's nothing wrong with them. Millions of cell phone owners love their musical ringtones. However perhaps you are looking for something a little different, which these vocal ringtones are.

Rather than being alerted to an incoming call by a song, you will be altered by a voice. This voice can be almost anyone, including your favorite celebrity. There are all kinds of possibilities when it comes to this type of ringtone. While spoken ringtones aren't the most popular type of ringtone they are catching on around the country and even the world.

For example, you can get ringtones that sound like your favorite movie star, even if it is not them. Examples might include an impersonation of Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, Clint Eastwood, James Earl Jones or any other iconic celebrity with a recognizable voice. You could also of course get voice ringtones that sound like your favorite television or movie characters like James Bond, Austin Powers, Bugs Bunny, you name it. Today's vocal artists can go in the studio and create ringtones that sound like fun characters like your favorite stars or even cartoon characters. Then there are generic characters like sexy female, nagging boss, police officer and many more. You can even download lines from favorite television programs or movies called sound bytes.

One of the most exciting things about this type of ringtone is that you can even make your own using the Internet. You don't need a lot of money or computer knowledge to do this. Most anyone can record and install their very own custom made ringtones. The first thing you need is a computer that has software which allows you to record your voice. There are quite a few freeware programs you can download for this purpose. You will also need a microphone that hooks up to your computer. You can find them at most any computer supply store with USB plugs that easily fit into your computer. With a little practice you can create and download your very own customized vocal ringtones for most any phone.

As you can imagine the possibilities for this type of ringtone are endless. If you are a proud parent you could record your child creating a custom vocal ringtone just for you. Pet owners could even make a ringtone using the bark of their dog if of course they could get the animal to bark on cue. If you've always wanted to be a star creating your own ringtone is one way to do it. No one else will have your ringtone but you, which makes it very sentimental. With a little creativity you can come up with great ideas for customized ringtones. And even if you can't, that's OK. There are so many pre-made voice ringtones out there that you're sure to find the perfect one for your phone.
