Find a quiet place
Close windows and silence notifications if you can. A soft room usually sounds better than an empty one.

Share Your Telling
We are gathering spoken versions of Mushkil Gusha from different languages, places and traditions.
Tell it in your language.
In your own words.
With your voice.
Before you record
Tell it as if to a friend
Please do not read the story from a book. Tell it as you remember it. Changes, pauses and forgotten details are part of a living telling; it does not need to be perfect.
Use your phone
The ordinary voice recorder is enough. Keep the phone about a hand’s length from you and avoid touching it while speaking.
Imagine one listener
Tell the story naturally to one friend, rather than performing it to an invisible audience.
Use your own language
Your wording and your voice matter. Do not try to imitate a published or recorded version.
Listen once
Check that your voice is audible and that the recording contains the complete telling.
Send the audio file
MP3, M4A, OGG or WebM are accepted. Please keep the telling under 30 minutes. Maximum file size: 25 MB.

Recordings are reviewed privately. Nothing is published automatically. If you permit publication, a selected telling may later be presented as a voice of Mushkil Gusha on this website.
