Audio Portrait (one voice)
A beautifully edited and produced memoir heirloom that includes:
- An 8-12 minute documentary Audio Portrait akin to one you'd hear on a podcast or NPR.
- Drawn from two one-hour interviews. Often, it's the second interview that shines—people remember more, and the conversation is richer and deeper.
- Digital delivery of the Audio Portrait, with quick download of high-quality files.
- A physical copy of the Audio Portrait on your choice of CD, vinyl record, or cassette.
- Full downloadable recordings of each full interview.
- Complete written transcripts of both the Audio Portrait and interviews.
