What is My Life Story?
My Life Story is a personal audio recording service that captures your voice, memories, and experiences. It’s a way to preserve your story in your own words, creating a lasting legacy for your family and future generations.
Who is the service for?
This service is for anyone who wants to reflect on their life and share it. Whether you’re 25 or 95, everyone has a story worth remembering. It’s ideal for parents, grandparents, or anyone who wants to leave something meaningful behind.
What does the recording include?
It includes a relaxed conversation where we talk through your life—childhood, family, career, milestones, and more. We record your voice as you share stories, memories, thoughts, and reflections that matter most to you.
Is it a video or just audio?
The core service is audio-based, as we believe voice captures emotion in a unique and powerful way. It’s personal, timeless, and easy to pass down. Video options may be available if requested.
How long does the recording session take?
The interview usually lasts around 2 to 2.5 hours. It’s a relaxed and unhurried process, with breaks if needed. The time allows for natural storytelling without feeling rushed.
Do I need any special equipment?
Not at all. If the interview is online, we’ll send you a small, easy-to-use microphone in advance. If it’s in person, we bring everything needed to ensure high-quality sound.
Where does the recording take place?
You can choose to record in the comfort of your own home via Zoom, or we can come to you if you prefer an in-person session. Either way, it’s designed to feel natural and stress-free.
What do I receive after the recording?
You’ll receive a professionally edited audio file on a beautifully presented USB stick. We also provide a secure download link so you can share your story with your family easily.
Can I choose what I talk about?
Absolutely. You’re in control. We provide a guide to help you reflect, but you decide what to include. Nothing is shared without your approval.
Will my story be made public?
No, your full story is private unless you choose to share it. Only the people you decide to give it to will hear it. We treat your voice and memories with the utmost respect and care.
Why record my life story now?
Because memories fade, and voices are often lost with time. Recording now means your story is captured while it’s still fresh. It’s a gift your family will thank you for, now and long into the future.
What if I don’t think my life is interesting?
Everyone feels that way—but every life is full of meaning, lessons, and moments worth remembering. Often, the simplest stories are the ones your family will treasure most.
Can I gift this to someone else?
Yes, My Life Story makes a powerful and thoughtful gift. Whether it’s for a parent, grandparent, or loved one, it’s a way to honour their life and preserve their voice for the future.
Is this like a biography or just a chat?
It’s more like a guided conversation than a formal biography. We’re here to help you open up and share naturally. The result is personal, real, and honest—your story, told your way.
What makes My Life Story different?
It’s not just about questions and answers—it’s about connection. We listen with care, guide gently, and help you capture something truly lasting: your voice, your life, your legacy.
