If you have any concerns about the authenticity of this audio/video survey, please contact wpinkston@aoa.org.
The recording process takes most people 3 minutes or less, but that depends on how many practice recordings you do. There's nothing to install, and there are only two questions.
No. You can record your responses right in your web browser, from your smartphone, your computer, or your tablet. There's no app to install and nothing to download.
Yes. You can record, replay, and re-record all video or audio responses as many times as you like. You don’t have to submit anything until you are 100% comfortable with it.
We may publish your video or audio responses in branded videos. These videos may be embedded on the American Optometric Association website and shared via social media.
For further questions, please contact wpinkston@aoa.org.
All complete responses that meet our quality standards will be entered in a monthly $100 prize drawing. 5 winners are randomly selected each month.
This is our gift to you for taking a few minutes out of your busy day to share your thoughts.
You'll need to supply a video or audio response to each question, and enter something usable when we ask how you'd like to be attributed – no profanity, etc.
Just do your best to answer the asked questions in your video or audio clips. Don't submit blank, empty, or junk recordings. Be yourself.
After submitting your audio/video recordings, we'll ask for your email address.
We'll need this to contact you if you win!
If you have questions or concerns about privacy, you can read a plain-english summary of our privacy policy here.
Have more questions about the $100 prize drawing? Please contact Vocal Video Support.
If you're having technical issues, please contact Vocal Video Support.
After you finish recording, we ask for a few details like your name and email address. Here's why:
We ask for your email only for the reasons above. We will never share it, publish it, or spam you.
You are the owner of your personal information and audio/video submissions. If in the future you want us to delete your data, simply contact us at legal@vocalvideo.com.
