Cherish Your Memories:
Where Your Story Becomes a Timeless Keepsake
Record My Life Story is a professional life-story filming and audio memoir service for individuals and families. From our studio near Winchester in Hampshire, in your home or at a meaningful UK location, we preserve a loved one’s voice, personality, memories and wisdom in a beautifully edited film or audio keepsake.
Professional life-story films and audio memoirs
Record a parent, grandparent, loved one or your own life story in a way that preserves far more than dates and photographs. We capture the voice, expressions, humour, memories and values that make every person unique.
About Record My Life Story
Record My Life Story is a professional memoir-recording service created by Monkeynut Audiobooks & Sound. We help individuals and families preserve personal memories, family history and life experience through beautifully produced audio recordings and filmed life stories.
Sessions can take place in our professional studio near Winchester in Hampshire, in the comfort of your home or at a location that has special meaning. A family member can guide the conversation, or one of our experienced presenters can help the story unfold naturally.
From the first planning conversation to the finished keepsake, every stage is handled with sensitivity, patience and genuine care. The result is not simply an interview, but a lasting family record made to be heard, watched and treasured for generations.
More than a photo book
A photo book can preserve how a moment looked. A life-story film or audio memoir preserves how someone sounded, laughed, remembered and expressed themselves. It keeps the person behind the photographs present in a way that printed pages alone cannot.
Create a living memory for future generations
Preserve the voice, character, memories and wisdom that make each life completely unique.
Celebrate a life
Capture the milestones, memories and turning points that shaped a person, a family and a legacy.
Share wisdom and values
Preserve life lessons, beliefs, humour and hopes in a format that feels personal and lasting.
Leave a message behind
Create a heartfelt keepsake that loved ones can return to again and again across generations.
Let us help you tell your story
In a way that feels heartfelt, authentic and uniquely yours.
Explore Film & AudioChoose the right way to record a life story
Some families want to preserve a loved one’s voice in a professionally produced audio memoir. Others want a complete filmed life story that captures voice, expression and personality on screen. Both options are carefully guided, professionally recorded and beautifully finished.

Start Your Life StoryA calm, guided and respectful experience
Choose an audio memoir or filmed life story, then record in our professional studio near Winchester, in your home or at a meaningful location. We guide the process gently from the first conversation to the finished family keepsake.
Choose film or audio
Select the audio-only experience or one of our filmed life-story packages, depending on how you would like the memories to be preserved.
Plan the story
We help you think through important memories, people, places, photographs and moments so the session feels natural rather than scripted.

Share memories with a family member or professional presenter in our Hampshire studio, at home or at a location that matters to you.
We edit and deliver
Your audio or film is carefully edited, proofed and mastered before being delivered as a beautifully presented keepsake.
A meaningful way to preserve the people and stories that matter
Life-story recording is for anyone who wants to capture memories before they are lost and create something deeply personal for children, grandchildren and future generations.
Record your mum, dad, grandparents or another loved one telling the stories only they can tell.
Create an unforgettable birthday, anniversary or retirement gift built around a person’s life and memories.
Preserve childhood memories, family traditions, work, faith, travel, relationships and the events that shaped a generation.
Tell your own life story, share wisdom and leave personal messages for the people who matter most.
When preserving a voice matters most
Record My Life Story also provides sensitive end-of-life recordings for individuals and families who want to preserve precious memories, personal messages, family stories and words of love for the people closest to them.
Every session is approached with patience, dignity and compassion. There is no pressure to tell an entire life story. Some people simply want to share a message with their children or grandchildren, reflect on meaningful moments, pass on family history or leave words that loved ones can return to in the future.
The recording can be created as a professionally produced audio memoir or filmed legacy message, depending on the wishes, energy and comfort of the person being recorded.
- Audio-only or professionally filmed recording
- Studio, home or suitable location
- Gentle pacing with breaks whenever needed
- Personal messages for family and loved ones
- Private and respectful throughout
