Recording Request! - We are cutting a single with Frank Allison. We need some samples of women laughing and I thought I would reach out to see if any of our women followers would feel comfortable sending a small laugh track recorded with your phone. We are going to combine them so several are going at the same time. We wont leave you hanging with a solo laugh. But think of something funny and let it rip for 5-15 seconds. You can email it here [email protected]

I think iphone has Voice Memo (not sure about droid).

Thanks for your help. If you hear the demo and want your laugh removed, i'lll keep track of them by name and pull you out. :-)

Thanks
