If you want to use Parody Mixer to mix different voices together to create a new parody, you first need to record your voice with Parody Maker.

Open Parody Maker by clicking the Parody button on the Main panel. In the Your voice section, click the Record button (1) and start speaking to your microphone, click the Record button again to stop recording, fill in the file name and click Save to finish your voice recording. You can play back your recorded voice by clicking on the Play button.

Tips:
- Speak a short and simple sentence of about five to eight seconds. During the recording process, keep you voice clear and natural.
- If you already have a record of you voice, click the Browse button (2) to choose it. The recorded file must be a mono audio file (stereo file won't be added).

As you have finished recording, you can start using the Parody Maker right away. Click the Close button to close the Parody Maker and go to step 3 for this. But if you want to specify the four input voices for Parody Mixer, go to the next step.
