You can record custom messages right from your dashboard using Dial-and-Record, which allows you to record it through your phone.

Enter the number of rings between 0 and 9, or press #. If you choose 0, calls will go straight to your voicemail without ringing first. If you choose # calls won't go to voicemail at all. The phone will ring until you answer or the caller hangs up. Follow the voice prompts.
