This should not take any more than an hour from prep to upload. If it does, please be less perfect.
Please keep the following in mind as you record:
- Setup your video in a stable position so that your face and upper torso are visible, ideally at about eye-level. Phones in portrait mode are ideal. You can either use a printed score or setup a second device to follow the conductor with scrolling score.
- Either use a separate audio recorder within 5 feet, or use a phone/tablet within 2 feet. Clarity is most important - I can always make the audio sound more refined in post.
- No need for start and end of recordings to be clean, I can edit, but once you start recording, always say the name of the song, the voice part you’re singing, and clap once before starting the reference track.
- The reference track should be heard via headphones or ear-buds. We shouldn’t hear the click track on the recording you make.
- Be aware that singers are learning the notes you sing, but are told in particular to watch the other elements of your singing - posture, breathing, vowels, and shaping the phrase among the most important.
- Finally - Feel free to start and stop if you mess up (no need to start a new take, just rewind while it’s still rolling), just be sure a new take starts at the beginning of a section or during rests.
