Creating a video of your performance: Some helpful hints
If you do not have access to a live accompanist, please know that the best way to create a video is to use TWO (2) devices to record yourself. A phone AND a laptop, tablet, or another phone should work - your phone should record the audition submission and the other device should play the backing track.
HOw to position your recording device
Singing/Acting videos should be taken in portrait format.
Dance videos should be taken in landscape format and make sure your entire body is in the shot.
Choose a room that has soft surfaces for singing and reading - minimize the echo so we can hear you at your best. Position the device playing the accompaniment halfway between you and the recording device and set the volume accordingly.
Lighting is everything – make sure you are well lit with no shadows or back lighting. Don’t film in front of a window or with the sun behind you.
Watch your framing. Keep the camera pointed straight at yourself or slightly above – nobody looks good being filmed from below.
