KTOO is celebrating 50 years this year and we’re marking the occasion by honoring this community which has supported local owned radio stations in Juneau for over five decades.
We’d like to hear from you about how KTOO can impact your life. We’re seeking audio submissions which are between 60 and 90 seconds long that convey your thoughts of memories, driveway experiences and personal memories of the station that we can incorporate for airplay.
To submit, record your message on your smartphone, and email it to [email protected]. The steps to get your audio good can be found below.
We are looking to hear from you! Gunalcheesh! Thank for your support!
Instructions for submitting KTOO REFLECTIONS:
1. Find a quiet place.
2. Remove your smartphone from its case. (Cases can block out mics.)
3. On an iPhone visit:
Settings Settings, Settings, Memo followed by Audio Quality, and select “Lossless.” (On different devices, do not use MP3s and compressed file formats. We’d like “Lossless” as well as “Uncompressed.”)
4. Place the phone in airplane mode to ensure that no one calls during your recording.
5. Open Voice Memos, start an entirely new recording.
6. Place the phone approximately 6 inches away from your mouth and place it on at the bottom which is where the microphones are with your back to you.
7. Pivot the phone to the left at 45 degrees. This will help reduce the breath of plosives (like Bs and Ps) hitting the microphone.
8. Stop recording once it is finished (60 or 90 seconds) then turn off the off the airplane mode of your phone.
