Tell your story
Share your heritage
We will help you to preserve your life's stories using your words and your voice
Welcome to Reflected Words
We all have stories to tell: anecdotes and memories of experiences, events, travels, relationships, careers, or personal accounts and snapshots of our daily lives in times gone by.
There are stories to tell our children, our grandchildren, other family members or friends; stories that hold value as records of lives lived in ordinary or extraordinary times; stories that we can pass on to ensure we leave footprints on the sands of time.
Reflected Words helps its clients to capture stories from their lives in audio form, to preserve them for their families and friends. We enable clients to pass on the priceless gift of their memories, as a narrative told in their words, as part of their legacy.
What will Reflected Words do for you?
We help our clients by guiding them through the process of recording their stories so their families and friends can enjoy hearing them told in their voices. Hear about their lives: their personal history, their culture, values and traditions. With sensitivity and skill, we enable our clients to tell the stories that shaped them, providing insight to and understanding of their lives, so they can hand down these stories as part of their heritage.
Before the recording session we provide full preparation to the storyteller which involves giving them some homework. Next we record interviews in person or remotely using Zoom or Skype, giving us the flexibility to connect with you wherever you are. After the interview we get to work on the editing, eliminating ums and ahs where possible, to produce an evocative, engaging record for our clients to keep and share with others.
In this way, clients connect their past to their families’ futures. Stories can be about the ordinary as well as the extraordinary. What may seem mundane to some is often like gold dust to their families; equally, stories of the unusual and unexpected events in a life need to be chronicled for posterity.
