Description: | |
I love getting penpal letters, but often try to imagine the writers "voice" as he or she writes their letter. I thought it would be cool to create a swap where we swap introductory voice-recorded "letters" in the form of standard cassette tapes. In order for this swap to work, participants must have available to them a recorder/playback device that records/plays standard cassette tapes. You will record your voice talking about your life and whatever you'd like to share with your partner (think of it as an introductory penpal letter that you read aloud). You should fill 60 minutes of tape (tapes come in 60 minute formats, with 30 minutes on each side). You don't need to record straight for 60 minutes, you can use the tape as a voice diary over multiple days if you'd like. Please try to speak as clearly as possible, but use a "conversational" voice. it takes a little practice, but it sounds better if you're relaxed instead of reading from a script. You'll mail this tape to your one partner, and you'll receive a tape from one partner. If you choose to keep in touch with your partner, you can do so by mailing additional cassettes or traditional snail mail, or a combination of both. You should rate your partner a 5 based on:
Cassettes should be mailed in their cases in a padded envelope. Please make a decorative insert for the tape case so your partner can keep the tape. Info to include on the inside of the insert is: real name and swap-bot handle,mailing address, and date(s) of the recording. You can also include a small handwritten note if there's anything else you'd like to say! If this swap is popular, I will consider adding additional partners if participants give feedback that they'd like more than one partner. requirements to join:
I will ban participants who I deem to be questionable swappers. If an exception needs to be made to the above criteria, please send me a PM. Failure to send or rate will result in removal from future swaps I host. Hopefully it will not be neccessary, but I will angel this swap if need be. |
