Adding Name Pronunciation to Your Profile
Welcome to today’s LinkedIn minute. Today we will explore the pronunciation voice recording available only on the LinkedIn mobile app. To implement this feature, you’ll need to download the mobile app onto your iPhone or Android. When you visit my profile page (bit.ly/scattell) on your mobile app, you will see a speaker icon, and this is where the recording of my name pronunciation resides. If your name is easy to pronounce, you can choose to record a 10-second commercial instead.
Below is a great example of a name that is difficult to pronounce correctly. When you click the speaker icon on Chris Roehm’s public profile, you will hear a great example of how to pronounce his name correctly and remember it. He associates his name with a familiar city that is spelled and pronounced the same way. When I see his name again, this will help me remember.
Chris Roehm name pronunciation: Chris Roehm (reem). just think of it like Phoenix (phoonix), Arizona.
Below are the steps to add your recording to your profile.
- Go to your profile on the LinkedIn mobile app (click the mini-me circle at the top left corner)
- Click on the pencil at the top of your profile to edit
- Scroll down to the name pronunciation section and then click the pencil to add or edit
Well, that’s it for today’s LinkedIn minute. Thanks for stopping by.
