Many years ago, a friend of mine wanted to record her mum’s stories. In my honest opinion, it is better to capture something of a story, of a voice of a person's life than nothing at all. So many times people tell me how they regret not recording parents or grandparents and how they would love a recording of their voices and their stories, but once it has gone it has gone. It is better to record something than nothing. ![]() The method I have developed to not only capture the great life stories that make my storytellers proud, but also their characters voices, humour, mannerisms, and more for their friends and families to cherish.īefore I start to explain the processes further, there is one important thing to say. There are many ways to record a life story, but this is my tried and tested method. I have developed a simple method of capturing stories that not only allow the storyteller to tell their story, in their words but also to enjoy the process, to really enjoy the process, to find it life-affirming and validating for the storyteller and also, a gift to the family a gift that you may enjoy now or keep for a particular moment in the future.
