The easiest way to record your message is to use your phone's Voice Memo or Voice Recorder app. You can email the file directly from your phone. You can also use your phone or camera's video feature to record (while pointing the camera anywhere) and send me that file.

The easiest way to obtain a recording of your baby's heartbeat is to use your phone's Voice Memo or Voice Recorder app at your next doctor's visit to get 5-15 seconds of the heartbeat sound. Don't worry if there are any background noises or talking in between as I can edit those out if needed.

Yes, I can create your baby's heartbeat art using an image as well. Email me the highest possible quality scan or picture taken of the ultrasound printout or monitor.

There is no specific limit, I can use a message of any length. Whether it's a simple "I love you" or a set of vows. I can also splice together parts of a voice message, just let me know what words to combine or what words to exclude in your instructions.

You do not need to send us an MP3 file of the song, all I need is the link to the song on YouTube. If the song is not available online, please email it the MP3 file to support [at] artsyvoiceprint.com once you've placed your order.

Yes, we can fit any length on any size. What will be effected is the compression of the sound waves. The larger the size, the more detail will be visible.

We can use any audio or video file. If you're sending a song, you can just send me the link to the song on YouTube.

Yes. I have a lot of experience editing sound. I can remove extra sounds or reduce background noises, piece together, or amplify your recording as needed. I can also use only certain sections of your recording or song, please be specific and provide the start/end times whenever possible or describe what part to use or omit. It is rare that I cannot use a recording, in that case, I will notify you and provide options.

You can trim the video down to a smaller clip and attach it to an email. If it's still too large, the best way is to upload it to Dropbox, Google Drive, or WeTransfer and share the file. If that sounds too complicated, you can also record the sections you want on your phone while the video is playing on your computer or TV (it's best to use the voice memos or voice recorder app on your phone) and email that file to me right from your phone.

Yes, adding additional recordings to your print creates a multi-color artwork that has more depth. There is a $12 fee for each extra recording.
