Suggestions for video recording:

• Ensure that you record yourself in an area with a lot of light.

• Ensure that you record yourself in an area with no echo so we can hear you.

• Avoid standing in front of windows or areas with a lot of backlight as this will create
shadows and we won’t see you.

• When recording yourself please state your name, the song you are singing, and any
particular role you are interested in.

• Please make sure that the framing of the shot allows us to clearly see your face. We
suggest a “three-quarter body shot” or from your waist up.

• Most of all relax and have fun
