Instructions on how to get your voice heard

​

Step 1. Find the voice recorder or voice memo on your phone, laptop, desktop, or tablet.

​

Step 2. Record your message and save it to your device.

​

Step 3. Email (share) it to me and I can post it on the Family Voices page.

​

Email Example:

To: adrian.mallett@gmail.com

Subject: Short description of recording

Body of email: You can add more detail but it's not neccessary.

​

Important info

When you record your 21 Questions message on the voice recorder split it into 2 or 3  recordings so the files can be emailed. You don't want a recording over 20 minutes because if the file is too large it will not let you attach it to the email. If it takes 5 twenty minute recordings so be it. Just label the emails accordingly so I can post them in order.

​

Thanks for your cooperation. Future generations will appreciate hearing you.

​

 

Until I see you later,

​

Adrian Mallett
