How to use Voice Memos to make a GOOD voiceover for one of my movies The first thing is to WRITE what you want to say and then EDIT IT so that it communicates as clearly and plainly as possible what you want to get across. You want the tone of your writing to be CONVERSATIONAL. And when you record it, make it sound like you are TALKING, not READING. By the way, the first line should be, “My name is…”. This will allow me to correctly identify who you are. Once you have honed that script as well as you can, it is time to record yourself reading it. Open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone. You can do this in two ways. Either look for it, on my phone it is in Extras. But an easier way to open it is to simply say, Hey Siri, Open Voice Memos. When you are ready to start reading your statement, hold your iPhone as if you were talking to someone on the phone. This is VERY IMPORTANT, because it will eliminate the problem of percussive vocal pops that sometimes occur if your breath hits the microphone. Here is what vocal pops sound like, if you don’t hold the phone correctly: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper. Hit the red record button and read the statement. If you flub something, don’t worry just wait a second and do it over. When you are done, hit the red square to stop the recording. Voice Memos may prompt you to save the file, if so, do it. My newer version saves it automatically. The final thing is to send the file to me. You need to find the Share (UP ARROW) icon. Hit the 3 DOT icon, and you will see the share icon. Hit it, and choose the Mail icon. Hit that and type in my email address. You might put your name in the subject line. Hit send. Thank you very much!
