Tips on making your recording

General Instructions

1) Choose a quiet environment to make your recording.

2) Please make sure that the recordings are free of all other sounds as that may interfere with the CymaScope imaging. For example if a truck passes your door or your doorbell rings, please start over.

3) Choose a comfortable position, either sitting straight or standing.

4) Firefox and Chrome work best for recording. Safari may work. If you record with Safari, please check your recording. If it has static or noise, please try another browser, or another recording method.

For the Voice Mandala – Single

1) Begin your recording by stating your name.

2) Center yourself, close your eyes. We recommend recording an “OOO” sound. Say the sound in a variety of pitches, especially deep/low pitches. You could also try toning “Ay Ee Eye Oh You (AEIOU)”.

3) We need only a few seconds of your voice for the CymaScope but feel free to record a sample of up to a minute.

For the Voice Mandala – Double

1) Record one person first, followed on the same recording with the second person.

2) Center yourself.

3) First person state your name and slowly and deliberately say or sing the words “I love you” into the microphone. Say “I Love You” in several ways. Have fun! Joy is an integral part of love!

4) Leave the recorder running and immediately follow with the second recording. State your name and slowly and deliberately say or sing the words “I love you” into the microphone. (Please do not shout or the sound will be distorted.)

For Sound Made Visible

1) Begin your recording by stating your name and what you are recording.

2) We need only a few seconds of your chosen sound for imaging, but feel free to record a sample of up to 90 seconds.
