<p>We filmed my S’s pre-screens using our current HD video camera and purchased a VERY inexpensive tripod. We hired an accompanist and used her recorded tracks played through a small speaker (which we need for unifieds anyway). We filmed each monologue, song, and intro separately so we could piece together as needed. Probably the most high end piece was we actually filmend the dance portion in the High School’s dance studio. Believe it or not, we filmed his songs in my Master Bathroom!!! The acoustics were really good in there. </p>
<p>Besides uploading intros/no intros, 1 song or 2, 1 monologue or 2, dance or no dance, we never cut his songs to 16 or 32 bar measures. Left them as is. He submitted to 8 schools and got yesses from ALL eight. So, moral to the story, the “professionalism” is definitely not what they are looking for, but clear sound and picture…and of course…talent!!! Good luck to all!</p>
