Find a program that allows you to record a message in MP3 or wav. I chose NCH software and recorded it on the accompanying record pad sound recorder.
I had several attempts at recording a message before settling on one.
You need to remember that the maximum file size you can use is just the same as for images . I think it is 32 MB per media file for Word Press . It will alert you if it is too large.
Once you are happy with your message save it as an MP3 file on your computer. Give it a name so that you can easily find it when you go to upload it.

Great tutorial,
However, I avoid loading huge files up to my website to keep the speed up (especially mobile users will be affected by it if you do)
I use service websites (soundcloud to host audio, youtube / vimeo and other to host audio / video)
Then I embed them to pictures or inside blog posts.
Works too and no big files to load when people visit my website..
That is my advise.
If you choose to host sound and video yourself, I strongly urge anyone to look for dedicated hosting (hosting on your own rented server)

Thank you Stefan for your sound and helpful advice. Can I go back and add that to the tutorial to be an effective option? I am still learning myself so its a little like the blind leading the blind but always great when someone fully sighted can assist over the difficult patches.
