Speech Clips

When creating a clip of speech radio, think of a single message to convey and then sell it. Don't try to sell more than one thing at once.

Title

  • “Quotes” can work well
  • No more than 48 characters
  • Pose an interesting question if it’s answered by the clip
  • No need to name-check talent or the programme
  • No clickbait!

Short description

  • Use it to draw people in
  • Do not repeat information from the title

Medium description

  • Copy the short description

Long description

  • Keep it to one short paragraph in length
  • Explain everything using uncomplicated words
  • Credit the programme, the original broadcast date and mention all the voices within the clip if they’re not introduced in the audio

Related link

  • Add the originating episode URL as a related link

Image

  • If the clip features a personal story from a listener, ideally source an image of that person
  • Otherwise, please use as bright and fun an image as possible
  • Images should be 1920 x 1080 pixels with the subject in the centre so that nothing of note is cropped out in 成人快手 Sounds

Genre

  • Add the single genre that best reflects the content of the clip. This enhances the quality of the aggregations and recommendations in Sounds.

  • Double-check spelling and grammar

  • Don’t assume the audience has prior knowledge; add context in the long description if necessary
  • Choose clips that will interest the largest possible audience, not just listeners to the source programme or network
