Vocal Video is a software platform that helps organizations easily collect and publish authentic videos from their customers, employees, and industry experts. We at Smart Start hope you find this experience fast and convenient.
If you have any concerns about the authenticity of this audio/video survey, please contact slang@smartstart.org.
The recording process takes most people 5 minutes or less, but that depends on how many practice recordings you do. There's nothing to install, and there are only three 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 Smart Start website and shared via social media.
For further questions, please contact slang@smartstart.org.
All complete responses that meet our quality standards will be entered in Vocal Video's 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.
