WATER CITY MUSIC TOWER VOICES
Please note we have extended the submission date to MONDAY 22ND JUNE 2020!
What Will I Need?
Headphones or earphones
Two Devices (phone, tablet, laptop etc.)
A family member to help you
Your school uniform (optional)
Step 1 - Practise, Practise, Practise!
We will be learning the song With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm.
Take your time to learn the song carefully. Click the play button below and sing along with the Guide Video. Try and copy the way the vocal line is sung. Can you remember all the lyrics?
Step 2 - Set Up Your Camera!
Once you have learnt the song, find a quiet space. You can film with a phone, webcam, tablet, desktop, laptop… Ask a family member to help you.
If possible, set up your video as landscape. Try and fill as much of the frame as possible.
Make sure you have a plain backgound and that the room is quiet. Turn off any fans or anything else that makes a noise.
Check the image. Can we see your face? Turn on a light behind the camera so you are well lit. Don’t record with a bright window behind you.
Please note - If you would prefer to make a sound recording only, follow exactly the same procedure but upload an audio file, instead of a video.
Step 3 - Set Up Your Audio
You will need another device to listen to the Guide Video.
Plug in some headphones/earphones and make sure you can hear the song at a comfortable volume.
It’s really important you use headphones/earphones, as we only want you to record your voice, not the sound from the Guide Video.
Step 4 - Film Your Video!
When you are ready, your family member needs to hit play on the Guide Video on one device and hit Record on the other.
You will need to clap twice like it says on the guide video. This will help us sync your performance with the rest of the choir.
Don’t forget to smile while you’re singing! It’s OK to record multiple takes (just like a recording studio). Send us your best performance.
Step 5 - Upload!
Well done! Your parent/guardian now needs to upload your video.
All submissions need to be uploaded by Monday 22nd June @ 12pm.
Your parent/guardian will need a Google Account to upload your performance. If you don’t have one click here - the sign-up process is very simple.
If your parent/guardian has any questions, please contact us at admin@watercitymusic.com
