St. George Utah FamilySearch Library/Story Recording Booths

 Everyone has a story; let us help you record your story!

The St. George FamilySearch Center has three story recording booths to assist you in recording your personal or family story. Two booths accommodate a single story teller and one booth accommodates a group or family.

After logging in to the ipad tool, you dock the ipad on the recording booth docking station and a prepared video narrator will you begin to walk you through how to record your story. Each story recording is restricted to a maximum of 10 minutes. You can record several 10-minute stories back-to-back. You begin by selecting on of three types of recording options: 1.	Be Interviewed a.	When you select the “Be Interviewed” option, the narrator will ask you a series of questions about your life, your family memories, and people you know. You simply answer these questions. Your responses and a video of you answering the questions is prepared and a link is sent to you. 2.	Share an image a.	Talking about a photograph or family picture is a great way to get started with a story. Using this experience, you will be asked to send a picture to the interview via text messaging. Everyone in the group can talk about the picture and share a story that comes to mind. Your story and a video of you sharing these memories will be sent to you as a link in an e-mail. 3.	Pick a Story Idea a.	If you don’t know where to begin, this is a great option to select. Several story ideas – vacations, family sayings, marriage, etc. – are offered as suggested story topics. Before coming to the Center to record your story, think about events in your life and answer these questions: i.	Who ii. What iii. When iv. Where v.	Why
