How to Create Your First Voice Post on Wewtalk: A Beginner's Guide

Ready to join the voice-first social media revolution? This step-by-step guide will walk you through creating your first voice post, overcoming mic anxiety, and making your voice heard.

Before You Start: Download the App

First things first—download Wewtalk on your device:

Download on App StoreGet it on Google Play

Or use the web version to get started right from your browser.

Step 1: Create Your Account (2 Minutes)

Creating your Wewtalk account is simple:

  1. Open the app or visit wewtalk.com
  2. Click "Create Account"
  3. Enter your email and create a password
  4. Choose a username (this will be your @handle)
  5. Add your display name
  6. You're in!

💡 Username Tips

Choose a username that's:

  • Easy to remember and spell
  • Consistent with your other social media handles
  • Professional enough for long-term use
  • Unique and represents you

Step 2: Set Up Your Profile (5 Minutes)

Before you start posting, complete your profile so people know who you are:

  • Profile Photo: Add a clear photo of yourself (or your brand logo)
  • Bio: Write 2-3 sentences about who you are and what you'll share
  • Location: Optional, but helps you connect with local community

A complete profile makes people more likely to follow you and engage with your content.

Step 3: Explore First (10 Minutes)

Before creating your first post, spend a few minutes exploring:

  • Listen to trending posts to understand what resonates
  • Follow a few people whose voices you enjoy
  • Notice the tone—casual, authentic, conversational
  • Check post lengths—most are 15-45 seconds

This gives you context for what works on the platform. Think of it like listening to a few podcast episodes before starting your own show.

Step 4: Overcome Mic Anxiety

Let's address the elephant in the room: "I hate the sound of my own voice!"

You're not alone. Studies show 78% of people dislike hearing their recorded voice. Here's why—and how to get over it:

Why Your Voice Sounds "Weird" to You

When you speak, you hear your voice through bone conduction (vibrations in your skull) which makes it sound deeper. When recorded, you hear it the way everyone else does—through air only.

The truth: Everyone else thinks your voice sounds normal. It's only weird to you because you're used to hearing it differently.

Tips to Build Confidence:

  1. Practice privately first: Record a few voice notes to yourself
  2. Remember no one is perfect: People value authenticity over polish
  3. Start small: Your first post doesn't have to be profound
  4. Focus on your message: What you say matters more than how you sound
  5. It gets easier: By your 5th post, you'll feel comfortable

Step 5: Choose Your First Topic

What should you talk about? Here are proven ideas for first-time voice posters:

✅ Great First Topics:

  • • "This is my first voice post!"
  • • Share what you're excited about today
  • • Quick introduction: who you are
  • • A tip related to your expertise
  • • Reaction to trending topic
  • • Something you just learned

❌ Avoid for Your First Post:

  • • Controversial political takes
  • • Long storytelling (keep it under 30s)
  • • Complex explanations
  • • Complaints or negativity
  • • Self-promotion heavy content

🎯 The Perfect First Post Formula

"Hey everyone! This is my first voice post on Wewtalk. I'm [name], and I [what you do]. I'm excited to share [topic you'll talk about]. Let's connect!"

Example: "Hey everyone! This is my first voice post on Wewtalk. I'm Sarah, and I'm a graphic designer from Seattle. I'm excited to share design tips and creative inspiration. Let's connect!"

Step 6: Record Your First Voice Post

Now for the fun part! Here's the exact process:

On Mobile App:

  1. Tap the microphone icon at the bottom of your feed
  2. Allow microphone access if prompted
  3. Hold the record button and start speaking
  4. Release when you're done (max 60 seconds)
  5. Listen to your recording
  6. If you don't like it, tap delete and re-record
  7. When happy, tap post

On Web:

  1. Click "What's happening?"
  2. Click the microphone icon
  3. Allow browser to access your microphone
  4. Click record and speak
  5. Click stop when finished
  6. Preview your recording
  7. Re-record if needed, or click post

Step 7: Recording Best Practices

Want your voice post to sound great? Follow these simple tips:

Audio Quality:

  • Find a quiet space (no background TV, traffic, or echo)
  • Hold phone 6-8 inches from your mouth
  • Speak clearly but naturally (no need to shout)
  • Use headphones with a mic for even better quality (optional)
  • ❌ Avoid recording in bathroom or car (echo/noise)
  • ❌ Don't tap your phone or shuffle papers while recording

Content Tips:

  • Start strong: First 3 seconds hook people in
  • Speak conversationally: Like talking to a friend
  • Smile while talking: People can hear it in your voice
  • Keep it concise: 20-40 seconds is the sweet spot
  • End with a question: Encourages voice replies
  • ❌ Don't read from a script (sounds stiff)
  • ❌ Don't say "um" or "like" too much (pause instead)

💡 Pro Tip: The "One-Take" Mindset

Don't aim for perfection. If you mess up a word or pause awkwardly, keep going! Small imperfections make you sound authentic and human. Only re-record if you completely lost your train of thought.

Step 8: After You Post

Congratulations! You've created your first voice post. Now what?

Engage with Others:

  • Reply to comments with your voice
  • Listen to your followers' posts and engage
  • Share posts you love (revoice feature)
  • Join trending conversations

Build Momentum:

  • Post consistently: Aim for 3-5 voice posts per week
  • Find your niche: What topics do you enjoy talking about?
  • Respond to replies: Build relationships through conversation
  • Experiment: Try different topics and lengths

Common Mistakes to Avoid

🚫 Top 5 Beginner Mistakes:

  1. Overthinking it: Your first post doesn't need to be perfect. Just start!
  2. Recording too long: Shorter posts (20-40s) perform better than 60s
  3. Posting once and disappearing: Consistency builds your audience
  4. Only posting, never engaging: Reply to others to grow your network
  5. Comparing yourself to others: Everyone started as a beginner

What to Expect After Your First Post

Let's set realistic expectations:

  • Your first post might get 5-20 listens if you have few followers (normal!)
  • People appreciate "first post" transparency—it's relatable
  • You'll likely get a few encouraging replies welcoming you
  • Your 10th post will perform better than your 1st (you'll improve)
  • Growth takes time—focus on enjoying the process

Your Voice Matters

Here's the truth: someone needs to hear your voice today.

Maybe it's your unique perspective on a topic. Maybe it's encouragement they needed to hear. Maybe it's just the authentic, human connection they've been missing from text-based social media.

You don't need fancy equipment.
You don't need to be a professional speaker.
You just need to be yourself.
