Preparing a Recording
Make sure that your audio or video file is high quality so that your performance can be evaluated successfully. Here are a few tips for your audition recording:
- Aim for the highest-possible audio and video quality.
- You can upload your audition as a single recording or as individual tracks (excerpts).
- Do not electronically alter a recording, e.g., no editing to fix bad notes.
- Do not send any audition recording via email.
- Always keep an extra copy of your audition recordings in case there are problems along the way.
Submitting a Recording
Specific instructions for uploading your audition materials are given on the Audition tab of the Acceptd application.
Audition recordings will not be evaluated until the application fee is paid.
