Your Story Your Voice

Your Story Your Voice is a unique, fun and easy way of capturing a slice of personal history for future generations. 

Over a pot of tea or glass of wine, you can share stories about your life; poignant moments, achievements, loves, losses and everything in between. 

I’ll pop a small broadcast-quality microphone nearby, then prompt and guide you along in a conversational interview. 

When we’re finished, I’ll make a few edits back at home, then put it on a memory stick for you to keep or gift to loved ones. 

FAQ 

How long will it take? 

Set aside a morning, afternoon or evening. The final recording is usually around two hours but this allows for a bit of setting up time. 

Where will the recording take place?

Wherever you feel the most comfortable, so usually your home.

Can my partner, friend or another family member join in on the recording? 

Absolutely. Three people is probably the maximum though, to ensure a quality recording. 

 Do I need to prepare anything? 

It is useful to jot down a few bullet points but I will email a short list of topic ideas beforehand. We can also have a pre-interview chat on the phone. 

When will I be able to hear it? 

I will email you a link within a week. If you are happy with everything, I’ll then save it onto a memory stick. 

What if I said something that on reflection I’d like to take out? 

That’s fine. I can make edits before saving it onto a memory stick. Everything is confidential. 

Will the recordings be broadcast anywhere? 

No. They are for your personal use, but you can share them on your own social media platforms. 

Could I do this via Zoom? 

Yes. Though the sound quality tends not to be quite as good as an in-person interview. 

Could I get a written transcription of the final interview? 

Yes. I offer this as an add-on service. 

Can I buy this as a gift? 

Yes. I can email or post a gift voucher. The recipient then just needs to contact me to schedule a date and time to suit them.

Interview, edit & one memory stick in a gift box: £199 

Additional memory stick in a gift box: £15-£30 

Written transcription: £130-£160
