The overview will focus on how the idea of ‘voice message’ appeared in the history of private recordings in Hungary, from a 1910 opinion piece through the advertisements of various businesses and the activities of the War Reporting Company during World War II to the famous Hungarian slogan “Saját hangja, vigye haza!” (Your own voice, take it home!). I will present a few surviving voice messages to examine how circumstances influenced the speaker and the resulting sound recording.
