Custom announcement from stock sounds

Hello,

I would like to create a custom announcement for my IVR menu using the stock sounds that are in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en

What is the proper way of going about doing this?

Do it from the System-Recordings option in FreePBX. You can put fragment after fragment together to make the system say pretty much whatever you want.

I’ve created queue announcements using this method. Its very versatile.

Ahh, I missed that section. Great, thanks for the quick response!
