FAQ
What exactly is Heroes Editions?
Heroes Editions offers personal, private audio recordings. It’s a chance to preserve your voice, your story or a loved one’s legacy in the form of a beautifully produced podcast. It’s not for broadcast: it’s for your family, your children and the generations after you.
Do I need to prepare or rehearse?
Not at all. These are guided conversations, not performances. My role, thanks to my TV journalism background, is to guide you through the interview, making sure you feel comfortable, natural and the important things are said. No pressure, no scripts, just your story, your way.
How long does the process take?
It depends on the package. A full life story typically takes up to 3 hours of recording (split across one or several sessions), plus editing time. Shorter formats, such as a message or a special moment, can be completed in under an hour. Final delivery usually happens within 2–4 weeks.
Where do we record?
For clients based in the UAE, I can come to your home, office or any quiet space where you feel at ease and that’s quiet. I bring a discreet, high-quality mobile setup. For clients elsewhere, we offer remote sessions via remote platforms, like Zoom.
Do you offer remote recordings?
Yes. I can conduct remote interviews around the world using easy-to-use recording tools like Zoom. For remote recordings, I will send you guidelines to make sure we record with the best quality possible. A 10 % discount is offered for these remote interviews, only applicable if you don’t reside in the UAE.
Do you edit the recording?
Yes. All recordings are edited by experts for a podcast-like final product. You’ll receive a polished, beautifully produced final version with voice-over and light musical transitions.
What if the person is shy or doesn’t like speaking about themselves?
Many of our clients say this at first, but once the conversation begins, they often forget the microphone is even there. The interviews are relaxed, empathetic and tailored to each person’s comfort level. My role is to gently guide, never to pressure.
Who is this service for?
Anyone with a story to tell or a voice to preserve. Parents, grandparents, children, businesswomen or men, artists, achievers, dreamers or everyday heroes. Whether you want to capture a full life story, mark a milestone or leave a message, this is for you.
Can businesses or institutions use this?
Yes. We also offer packages for family businesses, founders, and institutions wanting to record their history or vision in a personal and lasting format. Please get in touch for corporate inquiries.
Can I offer this as a gift?
Absolutely. It’s a meaningful, timeless gift that is ideal for birthdays, retirements, weddings, anniversaries or simply as a gesture of love. You can contact me using the form or by email at hello@heroeseditions.com to buy a gift card.
What do I receive at the end?
You’ll receive an edited audio file (from 20 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the package), through a printed photo of your choice. At the back of the photo is a symbolic quote from the interview and a QR code that will take you to a private web page where you can listen to, share and download the recording. Only the client will receive the recording for confidentiality purposes.
How do I book a session?
You can fill out the contact form on the website or email me directly at hello@heroeseditions.com. I’ll then get in touch with you to understand what you’re looking for, explain how it works and arrange a date that suits you.
