1. Use your smartphone
If you have a voice recorder on your smartphone, that is probably the easiest method to do the recording. You'll probably want to script your story first (a side of A4 is plenty) then just find a quiet place, record your voice and send it to us when you're happy. Don't forget to send us a selfie too! You can send your recording to us via email or whatsapp.
