Be sure to review all of the guidelines before submitting your work
Guidelines for Self-Nomination Submissions ONLY:
- Choose a song from any published musical that you feel best showcases your voice.
- The song may not exceed one minute from the first note played.
- This may or may not be one of your song choices for the January 8 submission, that is up to you.
- Our selectors will be looking for appropriate vocal technique and dynamic acting choices that support the creation of unified characters.
- Create one video that contains your song and slate
- Upload Video onto YouTube as an unlisted link. (How do I do this?)
- Recording instructions and guidelines:
- Record on your phone or tablet in “portrait” mode so that your torso and head can clearly be seen as you are standing in the frame.
- Be sure that your phone or tablet is recording you at head-level, so that you are not looking down or up into the camera.
- Try to have a neutral background, and good lighting facing you. Don’t record with a window or light behind you! You don’t want to film yourself in or as a shadow.
- Slate as follows: “Hello! My name is ________. Today I will be performing “Song Title” from “Musical Title” Do not mention the name of your school!
- The performance recording must be presented in one continuous take with NO internal or post-production editing (this includes no adding of graphics such as candidate name or song selection).
*We strongly suggest using live piano accompaniment if possible*
