Before I started Audiobiography I owned an Art Gallery for 18 years. One of the important tasks I had was to interview my artists thoroughly to be able to respond to my customers with complete and detailed information. During this process I found that the part I loved to do the most was interviewing.
I then traveled with my wife and three sons for 14 months in our motorhome throughout the USA. While traveling I met many wonderful people who had the time and were willing to tell me with ease portions of their life story. I found with good open ended questions that I was able to hear some wonderful stories of people’s experiences with work, travel, relationships, children, hardships, and joys in life. People also wanted to express their own philosophies and view points on life. I began to realize that there was a real desire for many people to let others know what they have experienced in their lifetime. I also realized that some of the most amazing adventures and heartfelt memories for these people were someday going to be lost. Have the children of the people I have talked to heard these stories? Were they too busy with their own life to take time out to listen? Was there a way to preserve these memories and the wonderful voices that I was listening to?
Yes there is! Audiobiography records these stories and the voices. With the interview process I am able to sit down and talk with the person who wants to tell his or her story. This story and recording can then preserve the memories and be shared for posterity. Families, friends, and historians are now able to listen to the stories without fear of losing them.
