Your Audition Video will be reviewed to determine your advancement in the audition process. The audition repertoire is outlined above by the area of your instrument. In addition to preparing your repertoire, make sure you meet the following criteria:
At the beginning of the recording, state clearly:
Your full name
The name of each piece and respective composer names
Recordings must be unedited and without artificial enhancement such as reverb or pitch correction.
Be sure that it is clear that you are playing your instrument live. This means make sure your instrument and your fingers, mouth, embochure, diaphragm (if you are a singer), drum kit, etc. are clearly visible while you are playing.
Be sure that you can be heard clearly. If you are playing with accompaniment, be sure you can be heard above the accompaniment/rhythm section.
Watch your video all the way through to check the quality, playability, and completeness of your recording before you upload it.
Upload your audition video to YouTube, and be sure to make it UNLISTED (not private).
