Directions for using SoundCloud to send your story

Here are the computer instructions:

3.       Click on the red “record button”

4.       When a little box pops up asking if you’ll allow Flash click “allow.”

5.       It’s recording! Just speak into your microphone normally. Introduce yourself to us. Play your sound back and listen. Start over if you need to.
