The Gift of Guided Storytelling

In the world we know today where gifts are fleeting, trends constantly change, and material gifts are all the craze, people are quietly yearning for something more meaningful. Storytelling has always had a power over people, staying with people for years and getting passed down with the generations. Through storytelling, we can pass on love, wisdom, and identity.

As more people seek out meaningful experiences over material things, guided storytelling is becoming one of the most heartfelt gifts to give or receive. Guided storytelling is a presence, a shared moment, a living memory. 

At Quince Studios, we believe that everyone has a story. Our legacy interviews are crafted to gently draw those stories out, preserving them forever in an audio portrait—a storytelling gift like no other. 

What Is Guided Storytelling?

Guided storytelling is a thoughtful process of helping someone tell their story in their voice. Guided storytelling isn’t scripted or rehearsed, it’s a conversation. 

At Quince, it’s not about scripts or rehearsed answers. It’s about presence. 

Every Audio Portrait is shaped in real time, guided by curiosity, care, and connection. We meet each person exactly where they are, helping their memories surface naturally. Sometimes with ease, sometimes with quiet surprise. 

Rather than sticking to a fixed list of questions, we follow the rhythm of the moment. Thoughtful prompts and gentle curiosity lead the way, allowing stories to unfold in unexpected and meaningful directions.

These audio sessions are recorded, gently edited, and returned as a private, beautifully produced keepsake. It’s the sound of a voice, a laugh, a pause… the little things that make memories real.

Why It’s the Perfect Storytelling Gift:

Legacy interviews offer something traditional gifts can’t: the chance to be seen, heard, and remembered. Suiting any occasion, audio portraits capture a person’s story with their emotion, humour, and truth within their voice. 

Unlike material gifts, these stories grow in value over time. They can be replayed, re-shared, and relived by children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come.

How Quince Makes It Special:

At Quince, we believe in deep listening—the kind that makes people feel safe enough to truly share. We are trained in both technique and empathy. 

We follow a structured yet flexible approach, ensuring that no story feels forced or scripted. The tone is always conversational. Many people forget they’re even being recorded. That’s where the magic happens. 

Once the session is complete, we turn the raw audio into a polished, high-quality keepsake. These audio portraits are tangible, yet intimate. They are handled and preserved with care.

Give the Gift of a Voice

Gifting someone the space to tell their story is a meaningful way to give them an experience that will live on. 

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to celebrate a life, honour a relationship, or connect across generations during the holiday season, an Audio Portrait is the gift you’ve been searching for.
