You can allow callers to press 0 and be transferred to another phone number, of your choosing, when they reach your voicemail greeting.
If you’re getting phone calls from people other than your grandmother, then they probably aren’t going to recognize that it is you by just hearing your voice. Letting people know your name and even the name of your business lets them know right away that they have reached the right number. And as an added bonus, it lets callers with the wrong number know that they’ve reached the wrong person and you won’t have to listen to messages for strangers.
Avoid background noise – Make sure you record somewhere as quiet as possible so that the caller can fully concentrate on your voice and there are no embarrassing mishaps.
Your voicemail, which gets heard every single time someone doesn’t manage to reach you on the phone, is a prime opportunity to be marketing to your customers.

As I mentioned above, some words like ‘can’t’ are often mispronounced by non-native speakers and it can sound like a swear word!
