The Voice Over Story
The Voiceover Story:
Darby Bailey has been the voice of Tellme Networks, a Microsoft subsidiary, since their inception at the height of the Silicon Valley boom.
As an early employee of the company in the late 90's, she helped design and patent an early version of Tellme's flagship product 1-800-555-TELL, heard by millions of people every day. As part of their creative team she was integral in the creation of the Telephone 1.0 sound, the style and sound of which has been mimicked by the telephony industry (and SNL parodied) and continues to this day.
Her voice was the model used to create the Tellme Networks speech engine, subsequently nicknamed Darbot. She proudly continues to collaborate with people that are much smarter than she, who work towards voicing the machines of the future.
