How it works

Launch a campus campaign in an afternoon

No phone bank to staff, no student callers to train. Record once, personalize from the data you already have, and let VoiceDrop handle delivery and callbacks.

1
Step 1
Clone a voice students trust
Record a 60-second sample from an admissions counselor, dean, or advancement officer. VoiceDrop clones it so every message sounds like a real person from your campus - because it is.
2
Step 2
Upload your list and personalize
Export applicants, students, or alumni from your CRM or SIS as a CSV and merge fields like first name, program, deposit deadline, or class year into every message.
3
Step 3
Schedule drops, capture callbacks
Time delivery around the academic calendar - decision day, registration windows, giving day. When someone calls back, the included AI Inbound Agent answers 24/7 and books time with your team.

Stop summer melt before it starts

The riskiest stretch of the funnel is the quiet summer between deposit and move-in. A short voicemail in a counselor's real voice keeps admitted students connected while email goes unread. Each drop carries the exact next step that student still owes.

Summer checklist nudges - housing forms, aid verification, placement testing
Merge each student's program and outstanding item so the message is about them
Multi-Attempt Delivery™ retries until the message actually lands

Run giving day without a phonathon room

Advancement teams reach an entire class year in minutes instead of staffing student callers for weeks. Segment by class year, school, or last gift, then watch results come in live as the day unfolds.

Drop the dean's or campaign chair's cloned voice to each alumni segment
Pair drops with two-way SMS so alumni can get the giving link by text
Verifiable delivery recordings and callback tracking for your campaign report

Ringless voicemail for universities and colleges

Admissions offices compete for attention against every unknown number a student ignores. Ringless voicemail sidesteps the problem - the message lands quietly in the voicemail box, and the student listens between classes on their own time. Because each drop merges the student's name, program, and deadline straight from your CRM, it sounds like a counselor calling about them, not a blast. New to the channel? See how ringless voicemails work and our playbook for college recruiting.

The same platform carries you from admissions to advancement. Clone a dean's voice once with AI voice cloning and use it for yield campaigns in April, melt prevention in July, and giving day in the fall. When an applicant or alum calls back, the included AI Inbound Agent answers 24/7, qualifies the caller, and books time with your team. Start with $20 in free credits - about 200 messages - and no contracts.

Many advancement teams use it that way. One recorded appeal reaches every segment in minutes, the AI Inbound Agent answers callbacks around the clock, and your staff spend their time on donors who respond instead of numbers that never pick up.
