The person behind the recordings
Robbie von Klitzing — Perth-based interviewer, storyteller, and founder of Great Story Co.
Robbie von Klitzing
Robbie started Great Story Co because he believes every life holds a story worth keeping — and too many are lost before anyone thinks to ask.
He conducts warm, unhurried interviews in the comfort of your loved one's home, asking the questions family members often mean to ask but never quite get around to. His background is in storytelling and documentary work, and he brings genuine curiosity and patience to every session.
Based in Perth, our team travels across the metro area to record life stories for families who want to hold onto the voice, the memories, and the wisdom of the people they love most.
"The thing that surprises families most is how much their loved one has to say — once someone asks the right questions and gives them the time."
— Robbie von KlitzingOur approach
Our team keeps things simple, gentle, and unhurried. No bright studio lights, no formal setup. Just our team, a set of thoughtful questions, and professional recording equipment that stays well out of the way.
- In-home recording Our team comes to you. Familiar surroundings help people relax and talk more freely than any studio could.
- Guided conversation Our team prepares questions tailored to each person's life — covering childhood, work, family, turning points, and what they'd want the next generation to know.
- At their pace There's no rush. Our team follows the rhythm of the person being recorded, taking breaks when needed and never pushing for more than they want to share.
- For the whole family The final files are delivered digitally so every branch of the family — wherever they are in the world — can listen or watch.
- Private & personal Recordings are delivered privately to you. They are never shared, published, or used without your explicit permission.
