WHAT IS A VOICEPORTAIT?

A Voiceportrait is an audio recording of your life. We interview you and gift wrap your personal story for posterity.  A unique heirloom to share with friends and family. Record a lifetime of memories to cherish now and forever. Your life in your words.

We record in studio, on location, or remotely, whichever you prefer.

We all have photographs but how many of us have a recording of a loved one’s voice?

What do you buy the person who has everything? We don’t need more possessions, but we do want more experiences, share yours with us, and let us record your life story.

The perfect gift for a significant birthday, retirement, anniversary, or simply to celebrate a life well-lived.  A special experience for both the recipient and the purchaser. Voiceportrait is a unique and invaluable gift for someone you love whatever the occasion.

 Carpe Diem if not now, when?
