I've never left a voice message in any language. Actually, I don't like this kind of communication at all. I don't think nowadays you need to disturb people with voice messages. Just write text message via Viber or Skype or Telegram any other messager.
you've got my point, let's imagine after along day, you come back home and receive a bunch of voice messages include for boss :))
