How to Submit a Loved One’s Voice Recording

Brandon S.

A voicemail or home video can hold the voice you remember. If you want to create a new memorial message in a loved one’s voice, here is how to send the recording to SongRetold and what happens after you order.

Quick answer

Choose the clearest recordings you have, upload them to a file-sharing service, and paste a shareable link into the voice sample field while placing your order. Our team reviews the audio before making the voice model. If we cannot make a usable model from your recordings, we refund your order 100%.

How to send a loved one’s voice recording

  1. Find the clearest clipsVoice memos, voicemails, phone videos, interviews, and singing clips may work. Favor clips where you can hear one voice clearly, with little background music or overlapping speech.
  2. Upload the original filesUse Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud, WeTransfer, or another file-sharing service. Audio and video files are both welcome.
  3. Check the sharing linkAllow anyone with the link to view or download the file. Test it in a private browser window so our team can open it without signing in to your account.
  4. Paste the link at checkoutOn the Personalized Voice Message product page, choose a message length, paste the recording link into the voice sample field, and type the exact words you want spoken or sung.
Only have a short recording? Submit the clearest clip you have, even if it is around 30 seconds. Length alone does not determine whether it is usable. Additional clear clips with different words or notes can help if you have them.

What happens after you submit it?

We review the source audio to see whether it can support a usable AI voice model. For a personalized message, a professional actor or singer performs the words you provided; AI voice matching gives that performance the familiar vocal character, and an audio engineer finishes the recording. The result is a newly created performance, not an original recording of words your loved one said.

If the audio cannot produce a usable voice model, we will refund your order 100%. The resemblance of a completed recreation depends on the quality and variety of the recordings, so an exact match cannot be guaranteed.
