Earlier this week I guestblogged over at [soundcloud.com](https://blog.soundcloud.com/2013/03/13/audiobio-roundup-4/) about the site’s ongoing audiobio(graphy) project: [“Hello Heroes: Audiobiography #4: Auto-Podcast, Song-Navelgazing, Clown Memories, and More.”](https://blog.soundcloud.com/2013/03/13/audiobio-roundup-4/) I highly encourage people to record one.
>When we set out to create the [#Audiobio](http://blog.soundcloud.com/2013/02/06/audiobiography/) project, the goal was to connect listeners with the musicians and sound creators they listen to. Anyone who has had a phone call, or met up face to face with someone they had only previously corresponded with online knows the power that hearing someone’s voice can have — not just at that moment, but in all subsequent communications between them.

>The idea of #audiobio is that by hearing the voices of the people whose music and sound we admire, we’ll have a deeper sense of connection to them when we hear more of their work in the future — not just because of what they say (the story of their lives, the goals of their art, and so forth) but how they say it: their voice, their intonation, their temperament.

>Audiobiographies will be shared every week so post yours to be featured. All languages are welcome to participate. You can find translations of how to get involved in more than 8 languages [here](http://blog.soundcloud.com/2013/02/06/audiobiography/). Here’s round-up #4 from this past week. See all past recaps [here](https://blog.soundcloud.com/tag/audiobiography/).
In the process I singled out four great recent entries, including [a guy who does a podcast about himself](https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/audiobiography-getting-better) (“There are lots of shows about famous people,”he says. “This is a show about the rest of us.”) and a woman who thought about her earliest sound memories and came up with [clowns](https://soundcloud.com/liz-massey/audiobiography-liz-massey).
The audiobio(graphy) project grew out of the SoundCloud Heroes program, which I am happy to have been invited to participate in. The SoundCloud-wide audiobio(graphy) project was the impetus for [the 60th Disquiet Junto project](https://disquiet.com/2013/02/21/disquiet0060-audiobio/).
