VAA & MCC Virtual Choir Reunion!

MCC & VAA Virtual Choir Reunion

Instructions for creating and submitting your videos

Hello everyone,

I'm very excited by the response received from many of you. Here is what is happening. In January I plan to post two songs for you to record yourself and upload and in February two more. (Click on the links to get the music and audio tracks.)

The process is simple. You can download your music and then download at least one of the tracks:

• “with vocals” - this has a demo choir singing the song.
• “Part 1,” etc. - that part is boosted to help you review or learn your part.
• “Track” - instrumental only

February

The Path to the Moon

For the Beauty of the Earth

After you have practiced and feel like you are ready, play the track through one device, like a computer and listen with headphones. Sing into another device, like a video camera or smartphone. Try to choose a place that is quiet and has a good acoustic. You can submit more than one recording and you can record more than one part if you want to, like soprano and alto, etc. Save your file at the best quality you can and label like this:

Then submit here:

Since I've never really done this before, I'm sure some things won't work. So, just let me know if you have problems at emily(a)vocalarts.us or send me a private Facebook message. And if any of you are techno wizards and have some advice for me, I'm all ears.

I can't wait to see your faces & hear the results. Spread the word!

Happy new year!

Emily Crocker
