Tips On How To Leave A Great Voice Memo
- Try to go somewhere quiet and cozy. The best place to do it is in an enclosed room with the door shut.
- Start off by telling us your first name and where you’re from. We want to make sure we attribute your story to you!
- Keep it short and sweet. We’re talking 30 seconds, tops. We’re radio folks, and radio is quick!
