How does it work?

• Please use the audio files first, if necessary, to practice your part. These files can be found here on this page.

• Watch the conducting video a few times to become familiar with it. This can also be found here on this page.

 

A few important notes:

• Prepare the recording device in a room that is quiet and well lit. Close all windows and doors to avoid external noise. Sit in such a way that the strongest light source in the room is directed at you and not behind you.

• Rotate the capture device so that the video records in landscape (horizontal) and NOT in portrait orientation.

• Avoid too much free space over your head.

• Set your recording device to 1080px at 30fps. (720px at 30fps is also fine).

• Make a short test recording to make sure that the picture and sound are recorded correctly.

• Look straight into the camera most of the time and make sure your face is visible. Always stay within the margins of the video.

• After the last note you should look straight into the camera for at least another 10 seconds. Then stop recording.

• Make sure that the picture and sound have been recorded correctly. If errors occurred, record it again and send us the best version.

• Please also make sure that the volume on your headset is not too loud, otherwise you will hear it in your video.

• The microphone should not be too close to the mouth, otherwise you will hear breathing sounds.

 

ATTENTION:

In the conducting video I will count 1,2,3,4,5,6, 7, 8 loudly in advance and clap on 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Please clap loud and clear on 5, 6, 7 and 8!

This serves to align the individual audio tracks and is extremely important!

​

We accept the following formats: mp4, mov, wav, mp3

 

Recording on PC/Laptop:

• You will need a headset with a microphone.

• Use the link to the conducting video, open it here on this page or on YouTube.

• Then open your recording program in a second window.

• Please record your video in landscape mode.

• Click Record and then play the YouTube video and follow the instructions.

 

Recording on your smartphone or tablet:

• For this you need a recording device (smartphone or tablet) to record the video and another player to watch the conducting video with headphones.

• Place the recording device on a stable surface and at eye level.

• Turn on your recording device.

• Then start the player with headphones connected and start singing to the conducting video.

 

If a video recording is not possible for you, but you still want to participate in this project, you can also send an audio recording together with a picture of yourself.

​
