1 – Choose your book

Visit the Magical Story Machine’s ‘Book Store’ section and choose a story to record from our collection of children’s favourites. For children who love the mysterious sounds of the Ocean you can record ‘The Snail and The Whale’ or if they prefer the tale of a scruffy dog how about ‘Smelly Bill’? There’s a collection of great stories aimed at the under 6’s including traditional fairytales such as Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs.

2 – Pay using secure PayPal

Log in, or use our very quick registration to receive your Magical Story Machine account. Then, pay for your recording using our secure PayPal system. Don’t forget to enter your discount voucher code here if you have one!

3 – Record as many times as you like!

You will be automatically taken to the Magical Story Machine where your personalised recordings can be made with a PC or Mac’s in-built microphone or a simple plug-in version. Just follow our simple onscreen prompts to record your story remembering that you can re-record and listen back with or without sound effects until you are perfectly happy with the results. The Magical Story Machine then mixes your voice with beautiful music and sound effects before providing a link to listen to, and download your story.
