I know you were looking for non professional recording....and for that I use Audacity with a cheap microphone on my laptop. It works well.
But if I need to have a good quality sounding message, I have a guy who has a recording studio in his basement. I've used him for 2 different recordings (including my current IVR message). He's got the sound booth, mics, pro recording software etc. DEFINITELY cheaper to hire someone like him out than it would be even to invest in a small fraction of the equipment. There are probably a number of audio engineers out there who have similar studio setups you may be able to find. If not, contact me off list and I can provide you his contact details.

I am looking into in-house solutions rather than professional sound recorders or Digium voice overs. Do you use a Doller Store microphone? Do you use any specific software? Does a really expensive Sony microphone makes much of a difference (3-way microphone)? Do sound effects to normalize the sound help afterwards? How many Mhz do you set the sound at? Stereo? Mono? Do you close the windows when recording ? :) any feedback would be appreciated.
