The Right Way To Use Hinge Voice Prompts
Hinge voice prompts are a great way to grab a woman's attention. Grabbing a woman's attention is critical for success, and this feature can give men an added boost.
The voice prompts on Hinge are a maximum of 30 seconds, so you must keep it on point, show effort, and relax while recording.
If you are looking to get better results on Hinge, use the voice prompt feature. Here are the steps for adding a great voice prompt to your Hinge profile:
Why you must use the Hinge voice prompt feature.
I always tell men to leverage an app's features to your advantage. The voice prompt is a great feature that can make your profile stand out on Hinge.
Hinge claims, "78% of people would rather hear your answer to a prompt than read it." This stat shows why it's a good idea to do a voice prompt.
The voice prompt is displayed directly under your primary photo. It's displayed before the other prompts, making it very important to your success on Hinge.
Voice prompts are displayed under your main photo.
You'll be at an advantage using the voice prompt feature. It gives you an added boost because women will be curious to hear your voice. It makes your profile more human.
Don't make excuses about how terrible your voice is. I hate my voice but realize the importance of this feature. Heck, women will hear your voice at some point, so do it now.
1. Chose your prompt.
Hinge offers you several prompts to choose from for your profile. Any of the prompts are fair game for your profile. Whichever prompt you select, it must be under 30 seconds.
You can choose from several prompts.
Select a prompt that allows you to showcase your personality. Avoid controversial topics. The more you can put into a prompt, the better.
2. Don't "wing it" - Create a script.
Don't attempt to record a prompt on the fly. It's a better idea to write out your answer beforehand.
You're creating a script that's under 30 seconds. Take your time to create a solid answer to the prompt. Think it through.
Here's an example for the "I bet you can't" prompt: "I bet that you cannot beat me in a cooking contest. That's right; I have several amazing dishes in my repertoire. Obviously, we'll have wine doing this, and the loser (which, of course, will be you) does dishes. I think that's fair, right?"
I recommend opening a text document (Word or Notepad) and jotting down your answer for the prompt. Here's an example of my voice prompt for the "My ideal date from home" prompt:
"I'm thinking a delicious meal from scratch... there are a ton of options. Maybe grilled swordfish, a homemade pizza, or a spicy stir-fry. The possibilities are endless. Whatever we end up making, wine will be involved, and of course, music will be playing. And one final point - I volunteer you to chop the onions."

3. Check the grammar by reading the prompt out loud.
OK, you're ready for the next step - reading the prompt out loud. Don't just sit and read it. You must hear your voice to catch errors.
We see things differently than we hear them. So, reading the prompt out loud allows you to catch grammatical errors, gaps, poor sentence structure, or unnecessary pauses. Listen for things that don't make sense.
Fix any mistake you catch. Repeat this step until you're satisfied with the prompt.
4. Test your prompt timing using a stopwatch.
Hinge gives you 30 seconds for voice prompts, so its length must fall under that time window. You must test your new prompt using a timing device. - use the stopwatch on your phone or use the stopwatch on Google.
Time yourself reading your prompt, ensuring it's under 30 seconds.
Start the timer and read your prompt. Here are some dos and don'ts:
Do's for reading your prompt:
- Relax - You want a nice, friendly flow.
- Sit up straight as your read the prompt.
- Read as if you're in a conversation.
- Exude confidence.
- Keep it slow and steady.
- Be loose - Emit a friendly, positive vibe. Women can read your energy.
Don'ts for reading your prompt:
- Don't laugh at your jokes.
- Don't speed through the prompt - Remember to take your time.
- Don't be long-winded - "Well, let me see here.."
- Don't stutter and avoid long pauses.
- Don't start off on the wrong foot - "I'm not good at this, but here I go..."
- Don't ad-lib - It may cause you to lose focus.
Keep your prompt on point. Focus on what you wrote down. Stick to the script.
If you stumble, reset the timer and start over. You're testing it first to ensure it's under 30 seconds. If the prompt goes over 30 seconds, trim things from it.
5. Record the prompt and post it to your Hinge profile.
Once you confirm the prompt is under 30 seconds, record it. Remember, relax as you read it. Just follow the "do's" above.
If you make a mistake, Hinge allows you to restart and do it again. It's easy. If you're satisfied with the prompt, post it.
Hinge is fantastic because you can test your prompts. Leave your prompt up for two weeks. If women aren't commenting on it or liking it, either update the prompt or delete it and choose a new one.
Recording a prompt is simple on Hinge.
