StorySitting Guided Family Story Sessions

Family Voice Collection

The story should not only be readable. It should be hearable.

StorySitting can gather voice memories through website recordings, uploaded audio, phone call-ins, recorder-kit submissions, and guided interview audio — then select the strongest moments for the finished Story Capsule.

This is one of the main ways StorySitting separates itself: we make family contribution easy, then do the hard editorial work behind it.

A StorySitting conversation with a handheld recorder and camera on the table.
Voice, memory, photographs, and the guided interview can all be gathered into one family story product.

Input paths

Families can contribute without learning a platform.

The goal is simple: make it easy for every relative to add something, even if they are not technical.

Website recording

Tap record in the Story Room and answer a prompt in your own voice.

Phone call-in

Call the StorySitting number, hear the prompt, and leave a memory after the tone.

Uploaded audio

Send existing audio files, voice memos, interviews, or family recordings.

Recorder Kit

For premium projects, use a physical recorder and printed prompts for relatives who prefer a real device.

Guided interview

The Signature Session records the core conversation after the family has already shaped the direction.

Edited excerpts

StorySitting selects the most meaningful moments and includes 3–5 edited clips in the Signature Capsule.

What we do with it

Raw recordings are not the product. The finished story is.

StorySitting reviews the recordings, pulls out the best quotes, tags the themes, connects the voice moments to photos and memories, and shapes them into the Story Capsule.

Receive

Voice notes, phone memories, uploads, recorder audio, and guided session audio.

Review

Listen for the strongest quotes, stories, names, places, and emotional moments.

Shape

Connect audio to story sections, captions, and family contribution highlights.

Deliver
