“What are they most afraid of right now?”

Why this question

Real fears, imagined fears, the things that wake them in the night. What helps. What doesn't.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·Don't script it. The ums, the tangents, the half-finished sentences — that's what their voice actually sounds like right now.
  • ·Thirty seconds is plenty. A short answer you actually record beats a long one you keep meaning to.
  • ·Say the date and their age out loud at the start. In ten years that one detail will do half the work.

Want to keep the answer in their voice?

One day you’ll want to hear this answer, not just read it. Ask the question tonight and record what comes back — thirty seconds at the foot of the bed is enough.
