Please call (559) 447-9370 or toll-free (888) 886-NAME anytime to record your name. Use a landline phone if possible because cell phone calls sometimes don't produce the best quality sound.
Recording
For example, "Hi, my name is John Smith. It's spelled J-o-h-n S-m-i-t-h. Again, it's pronounced John Smith."
Clarification
For some, it helps if you say, for example, "Polzien is pronounced like the words 'pole' and 'zine.'"
Oooops
It's okay to call again if you feel you need to.
Review
Your recording will become a digital audio file and allow naming specialists working on your project to review the sounds.
