How do I know this is legitimate?
How long does it take?
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 five questions.
Do I need to install anything?
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.
Can I redo my recordings?
Yes.
You can record, replay, and re-record all video responses as many times as you like.
You don’t have to submit anything until you are 100% comfortable with it.
How will you use my recordings?
We may publish your video responses in branded videos.
These videos may be embedded on the GuitarZoom website and shared via social media.
For further questions, please contact support@GuitarZoom.com.
Recording Tips
If you're having technical issues, please contact Vocal Video Support.
-
You can re-record.
If you're not happy with your recording, you can simply redo it. You can do this as many times as you like, and none of your outtakes will be saved.
-
Be yourself.
Act natural and friendly. It doesn’t have to be perfect – the key is to be authentic.
-
Pick a quiet and well-lit place.
Ideally, you want lots of natural light or alternatively overhead lighting. Avoid having windows or a light source in the background since that will create glare.
-
Eye contact.
Make eye contact with the camera and try to avoid looking down. It's much better to speak off the cuff than to read your response from prepared notes.
-
Background.
Try to choose a background that is interesting. E.g. avoid plain white walls. A piece of art or some pattern is nice or a view of your office, home, or yard.
