The Voice intro project makes and solicits audio recordings in which Wikipedia subjects speak their name and introduce themselves, in response to a blog post, "Requesting open-licensed, open-format recordings of the voices of Wikipedia subjects for Wikimedia Commons", by Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing). We do this so that we know what notable people sound like; and how they pronounce their own names.

Examples

See the infoboxes on:

For a complete list please see the Commons categories.

How to record

For more details of how to make and upload a recording, examples, and a suggested script, please see Commons:Voice intro project.
