Submission guidelines (please read!):
- Try and find a space with a plain background and good lighting (ie no shadows on your face)
- Use a tripod to film if possible, and shoot from the waist up
- Film horizontally in landscape only (not portrait!)
- Make sure there is a balance between the vocals and the backing track. If you need to move the camera further away from your sound source, or adjust the volume of the track, please do so to ensure we can hear your vocals. The sound should be on a separate device from the one being used to film the audition.
- At the start, slate your name and the song you’ll be singing
- Make strong character and acting choices and tell the story throughout the song
