How does one upload audio clips to YouTube?

For a while now I've been wanting to upload to YouTube audio clips of myself speaking . . . but I've no clue how to do this.
Earlier this year I bought myself a fairly high-end mic to use primarily to make Skype calls and call landlines through Gmail. Now I'd like to use it to do other stuff.

Is there any Windows-compatible software out there that converts audio files—preferably FLAC or other lossless files—to video files that show up blank, or as a custom still image? This would be ideal. I've never really tinkered with video editing software before so it's preferable that you recommend highly automated, noob-friendly software.

Try zeodia.com -- it's simple and intuitive - you upload an image, upload a sound file, fill in a few fields like date, place and title for the video, then the video generates. After you preview it, you have the option to upload it to YouTube.

Best answer: Auphonic.com does this as one of its output options as well as processing and sending to other services at the same time.

Are you wedded to the idea of YouTube? I can't help but feel that this is exactly the sort of thing SoundCloud was invented for

Yes. I want to reach out to YouTube users—not SoundCloud users—and need to embed the YouTube videos on sites I use that have support for that.
