Add phonetic spelling

Help people say your name — even when they can’t press play.

A phonetic spelling helps people get your name right in places where audio doesn’t work — a printed program, a slide, or a noisy room.

How to Add or Edit Your Phonetic Spelling

  1. Go to My Recording
  2. Turn on sharing if you haven’t already, then open the details for your recording
  3. Add your preferred phonetic spelling — plus a photo and pronouns if you’d like them on your public page
  4. Click Save
