Video Recording Guidelines
- Recordings can be made with basic equipment, including a smart phone, tablet, or laptop, equipped with a built-in microphone and video camera. High quality recording equipment is NOT necessary.
- While sound quality of submitted videos may vary due to differences in recording equipment, judges will listen for the overall quality of a students performance and not the quality of recording.
- Audition recordings must be completed in a single take (no editing or piecing together). Any evidence of video manipulation may disqualify the submission. Auditionees may record the audition as many times as they’d like, and should submit the recording they believe best represents their playing.
- Your instrument and your full person should be visible in the video so judges can assess technique and posture. Please minimize other visual distractions in the video (music stand not blocking view of student or instrument, family members, etc.).
- One submission per student will be accepted.
- Please review video before submitting to ensure that required components are included and video is properly uploaded.
- If you do not have access to a recording device or internet, please email ksells@qcso.org.
