I wish I'd done something like this. My dad passed earlier this year. I don't have any video recordings of his voice. Only memories. I had no idea what it would be like this side of his death. I think you made a really smart move.

Very sorry for your loss. It's incredible how few videos are about thinking, not-celebrity adults. Gigabytes about kids with adult voiceover, some occasional video with one parent filming the other with other family members, but as of a few weeks ago I had nearly nothing with him being the subject, let alone him talking for more than seconds.

It's also made me more aware that there isn't even much where I'm filmed with my own kids (I'm the one filming 99.9% of the time).

I have to say I enjoy these YouTube videos with people talking about "the olden days". Very much ASMR, they are normally quite relaxing. I haven't watched this one but there are lots:

Lost my dad five years ago. Soon as he passed I remembered saving a bunch of voicemails from him. I wanted his voice for posterity.

Quickly went and got setup to pull them down only to find out that the cloud system they were on had a software update that erased them!

I tried working with the company's vendor but they were never able to recover them for me. Do not ever wait, do it now while you still can.

Thank you so much. I just found 3 message from my dad that I can now save.

Oh wow this brings back the emotions. Thank you I don't think I would have ever thought to look for these if it wasn't for your comment.
