We need your voice!

– a brief overview for being an urVoice speaker So, what is this all about?

Basically, our project “urVoice” is a project that invites teenagers around the world to share their life with others. If you have your story to share, just prepare the following:

Write a brief passage, around 200 words, about your life, your unique experiences and your opinions etc. in English. It does not have to be of certain style but it’s best if it’s a casual one – imagine the tone you use talking to your friends.
Record yourself reading the passage and prepare a few other things as mentioned below.
Send the audio and the passage to our email address together with your information.
After sending it, we will take care of the rest – audio editing, formatting, translating, and putting it into the pool waiting to be sent out on the Wechat official account and the website (www.urvoice.net). Please note that sending the message does not mean the end of our cooperation – if you’d like to, we would like to share with you the details of our project and you are always welcome to join!

Our Project

“urVoice” is a project founded by a grade 11 student currently studying in United World College, or UWC, its main goal is to set up a platform for teenagers around the world to broadcast their voices and foster mutual understanding and eventually the ultimate goal, peace. In order to do so, we are inviting people like you to share your unique stories others might not know.

Currently we are sending one article out on urvoiceglobal, the Wechat official account and www.urvoice.net every week. The article will be English and with Chinese translations. Readers will have the opportunity to submit their questions in comments and the best ones will be delivered to the author, waiting to be answered.

Below are what of some our former speakers’ talked about, hope these would be of help:
“As a real Swedish guy I can tell you that now Sweden is facing some really serious problem” —Charles, Sweden

“I hope to become a bridge between these countries with my linguistic abilities” — Hyerin, U.S. “Teenagers are reckless and carefree” — Mary, Philliphines
“I’ve found that China when compared to Canada, is lacking in the government’s understanding of gender equality, which is something I hope China will be able to overcome and fix” — Amy, Canada/China

If you wish to see more, just take a look at our site. We hope you could join us as well!

What You Will Need to Do

As a speaker of this project, we would like you to write a short article. The article should be a short one, around 200 words. Please don’t make it more than 300 words or less than 150 words. If you can’t think of anything to share, the following list may help:

What do you think of your life?
What is your opinion toward some important events that just happened?
Anything you are concerned about recently?
Basically, anything that is your opinion.
After finishing the small passage you would like to share, please record yourself reading this. Recording qualities does not have to be perfect, a normal phone recorder would do the job. But please make sure that there is no significant background noise as it will strongly affect listening experience. Please add your information into the word document (name, grade, the place you were born in, and the city/country of your residence), also a horizontal photo of yours is needed, so that our readers can ‘see’ you visually.

When all these are done, simply send an email to editor at urvoice.net, with these 3 as attachments:

Your article itself as a word document (common text format, with your information included)
Your recording, in any major audio file formats.
Your photo.
When we receive it, we will begin our editing process as soon as possible. A confirmation email will be sent to you after editing is done, and your voice will be ready to share!

Note: Since the current rate of broadcast is one speaker per week, you may have to wait a few days or weeks before it’s published.

What You Will Benefit from This

If your voice is published, you will receive a 15 USD payment. Available payment methods include Paypal, Alipay and Wechat transfer. It’s our pleasure to work with you, and if you know other people that might have an unique story to share, it is absolutely welcome that you introduce them to our project. If someone became a speaker through your recommendation, we are happy to offer both of you 15 USD.

Questions

If you are still not sure about what to write, you may take a look at www.urvoice.net, all of our speakers are up there – but please feel free to be different! We appreciate diversity and hope it can become the core of our project.
