How Can I Record My Voice Online?

Some websites allow you to record your voice and send it to friends or colleagues.

Recording and sharing voice messages on the Internet is a way of communicating with friends and family. Some websites allow you to distribute the messages you record over social networking sites. These short messages are sometimes referred to as "microcasts," a short version of a podcast. Recording your voice online is a simple process that should not take longer than two minutes.
