What Would Dad Say.

Getting started

Your first recording, in five minutes.

The shortest path from sign-up to a recording your kid will actually hear.

Most dads stall on the first one. Don't.

Here's the shortest path:

  1. Pick a prompt that sparks something. Don't audition prompts. The first one you keep coming back to is the right one. If two pull at you, pick the easier one — you'll come back to the other.
  2. Record once. Don't script it. Don't re-record. The slightly awkward version in your real voice is worth more than a polished take. Your kid is going to be looking for you, not a performance.
  3. Set a delivery moment. A specific date works. So does "their 18th birthday" or "first day of college." If you're not sure yet, save it as undelivered and decide later.
  4. Hit save. That's it.

You can always re-record, edit the schedule, or change the recipient later. The point of the first one isn't to be perfect — it's to break the ice with the product so the next one is easier.
