You can make and submit your recording here using the recorder below.
Note: This method does work best with desktop and laptop computers and Android devices. If you have an Ipad or Iphone it may be helpful to print a copy of the text or use a second device. If you cannot do that further information for using Ipads and Iphones are given at the foot of the page.
If you cannot use the online recorder use a separate device and follow instructions underneath the button.
The text to be recorded is in bold below
Please add in the usual Introduction and ending. The verse numbers should not be read.
Job 38:1-11
38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
38:2 "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
38:3 Gird up your loins like a man, I will question you, and you shall declare to me.
38:4 "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have
understanding.
38:5 Who determined its measurements--surely you know! Or who stretched the line
upon it?
38:6 On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone
38:7 when the morning stars sang together and all the heavenly beings shouted for
joy?
38:8 "Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb?--
38:9 when I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band,
38:10 and prescribed bounds for it, and set bars and doors,
38:11 and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud
waves be stopped'?
Mark 4:35-41
4:35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the
other side."
4:36 And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he
was. Other boats were with him.
4:37 A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was
already being swamped.
4:38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said
to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?"
4:39 He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" Then
the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm.
4:40 He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?"
4:41 And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this,
that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
Please make the recording in a quiet room. Make sure there are no distractions or noises in the background and avoid acoustically bright rooms such as kitchens, conservatories and bathrooms.
Now click on the red button and follow the online instructions. Once the recorder starts scroll back up to the text and start reading.
You can review your recording as often as you wish by clicking on the play controls (grey triangle and slider above "Your name") and if not happy click reset and try again. When you are happy with the recording, fill in your name and email and click SEND. There is no need to send a separate email.
ALTERNATIVE METHOD USING A SEPARATE DEVICE
If you are unable to record using the feature on this page please make an audio recording of the same text above on a separate device e.g smartphone, tablet or other, and send it as an attachment to an email to webmaster@topcop.org.uk
HINTS FOR USING AN IPHONE AND IPAD
When the link is accessed with one of these devices, the text may be is obscured because the recorder has opened up in another tab.
Tabs are accessed by tapping on the icon pictured at the left and located at the bottom RHS of the screen. It is possible to start the recorder in one tab. Search for the tab with the text and start reading. Once you have finished reading go back to the tab with the recorder and stop the recorder, listen to the recording, re record if necessary and send when ready.
