To the GWFC members who have a mic,

As you know, Harry Potter and Joanne Rowling's Birthdays are coming up at the end of July. On behalf of Snitchseeker Radio DJs, I'm asking you for sound clips of birthday messages to JKR and Harry that we can play on the radio.

"Hi, this is <your name> of Snitchseeker's < ---- > Fan Club. We'd like to wish Joanne Rowling and Harry Potter a Happy Birthday! We love you, Jo!"

This is the basic sentiment we're looking for from fan clubs, though if you wish to say something more personal and relevant to your fan club, that's okay too.
We can send in our personal wishes as well. If you have musicians in your membership who wish to write
original Birthday songs and record them, they will be very welcome!

The only requirement I have is that you do NOT submit clips using The Happy Birthday Song, as we cannot afford a license to use it. Any recordings of that song sent to me will be discarded. Thanks so much.

How to use the mic, ( If you have one )

1. Go to your Start Menu, and select Program Files.

2. Go to Accessories.

3. Windows XP Users then go to Entertainment. (Other users may see the next step before that)

4. Select Sound Recorder.

5. A little window will open that looks like a primitive, little media player. Make sure your mic is plugged in and switched on (if your mic has its own switch).

6. Click the Record button (with the red circle on it) and speak into your mic. It helps if you write out what you want to say, first, and practice reading it.

7. Sound Recorder records 60 seconds at a time. If you run out of time, click record again to add another 60 minutes onto your file and keep going.

8. Practice makes perfect. As soon as you have a file you're pleased with, go to File and Save As. Name it and save.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you record or use the mic I want to read the message you will say. I'll pick the best one and will PM him/her to start recording it. ( You can post your message in Ginny Weasley Fan Club ( GWFC )

We want to represent our club, Don't we??
