- Who can participate? Any ACDA member and their singers in grades 4 through 12.
- The deadline for submission is midnight on Friday, October 9, 2020.
- You will need a clean, a cappella video/audio recording of JUST the vocal part with no bleed from the backing track or distortion from being too loud/close. Do a quick 20 second test and watch/listen back to be sure it looks/sounds GREAT! Please use wired headphones/earbuds. Bluetooth introduces lag.
- You will make your final recording while listening to the voice track. Please set your device camera to 720p/30fps. iPhone users go to Settings>Camera>Record Video 720p at 30fps. Then Settings>Formats>Most Compatible. Android users open Camera>Settings>Resolution/Quality 720p at 30fps (format=MP4).
- After the “1, 2, 3, 4” count-in, clap on the next beat. This is to help us line up all of the submissions to produce the final video.
- Record in a space with no echo, humming appliances, electronics or background noise of any kind.
- Record using a horizontal camera orientation with NO FLASH. Be sure to keep yourself in the center of the frame.
- Please wear a solid color top and record with an uncluttered background. Ensure that your face is well lit from the front and that there are no windows or lights behind you to give a backlit effect.
- Sheet Music and Practice Tracks can be found on the Louisiana ACDA website under “Virtual Choir”.
- Please upload video in MOV or MP4 format at 720P resolution. Please label file like this: “voice part.singer first & last name.mov”. For example: “A.Amy Prats.mov” or “T.Kevin Caparotta.mp4”.
- Files must be submitted by a parent/legal guardian through a WUFOO form found on our Louisiana ACDA website.
- We reserve the right to not use any submissions that do not comply with all of the above instructions.
