What do they say about you when they think you can't hear?

Why this question

To a sibling, a friend, a grandparent. The description of you that you'll carry forever.

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.
