Every family has stories that deserve to be recorded.
In 2024, whilst researching my family history, I discovered that my maternal grandmother had spent time in the workhouse as a four-year-old girl. Her mother had left the family when she was tiny.
I never knew. And now, sadly, there’s nobody left to ask.

That was my main motivation when we started Warm Voices. Because every family has an oral history that deserves to be recorded. And the moment to capture it is always sooner than you think.
We help families record the stories of their loved ones, however they choose. Through our free guides for those who want to record themselves, or our professional recording service for those who want the very best.
Because these stories are too precious to lose. And there’s no better way to keep them than in their own words. In their own voices.

We were delighted to receive this from Sam Deeks after her mother Diana’s recording:
“Dear Hal,
I just wanted to thank you for the Warm Voices experience (I can’t think of a better word) that you gave my mum. Even though her life story could never be described as a calm and peaceful tale, you helped her navigate the peaks and many troughs with empathy, warmth and a genuine sensitivity that left her with a very warm glow.
Not a visit goes by that she does not mention how touched she was by your thoughtful questions and the amazing way that you listened. It made her feel so very safe. And for that, and the record that this has left us with of a crazy, insane and powerful life story, I will be forever in your debt. Thank you for turning her story into a legacy for our family. I hope many, many other families get to benefit in a similar way.”
Keeping your family's stories alive. From one generation to the next.
From childhood memories and family traditions to high days, holidays and the stories behind the stories, we bring out the best of whoever is in the chair. Grandparents sharing their life stories, children interviewing parents, or simply capturing the essence of someone special. All recorded and gently edited to sound their best.
You can hear a sample clip here of me talking to my brother about my maternal grandmother’s story.
One session or several chapters. Whatever suits your family, we’ll make it an experience your family will treasure.
