Print music and take note of the vocal cues listed. You should listen to and practice with the backing trackbefore you start recording so that you know what to expect. Think about your recording space and everything that you will need. See "How do I record my video?" HAVE FUN!

You will need two devices – one to play the backing track through headphones as you sing, and one to record the video of you singing (smartphone or other device). You may need to consider either wearing wireless headphones or having your playback device in your pocket so that your headphone cable will reach! Record your video horizontally (landscape). See example in "How should my video look?" Record using the back camera of your smartphone. Have your camera “record video” settings to 1080p at 30fps. Here’s a video for iPhone users to check: https://youtu.be/2OC_f4_uGH Prepare.... Ready, Set, Action! - Film your best version singing How Great is our God Complete and submit video by the August 1st (the sooner the better). Follow directions on "How do I submit my video?"

It should be in horizontal or landscape format, in front of a plain background with plenty of light on your face. You should fill the frame with your head and shoulders. Don’t worry about the sides of the video looking empty because we can deal with that in post production. Please ensure that you don’t have any screens or ceiling fans in the background of your videos. Record using the back camera of your smartphone.

Find a quiet, uncluttered space and turn off fans and other appliances that hum. Center yourself in the frame and make sure there is plenty of light around your face. Face windows as they provide great natural light. (Don't have your back to a window - you will be backlit and it will be difficult to see your face). Please try your best to avoid any other external sounds in your video. (police/fire sirens, traffic, etc.)

Please wear modest clothing. Solid-colored tops are fine, and even something with a pattern is OK to wear. Avoid wearing anything with logos, wording, or sayings unless it is an SA shield or other SA logo. If you are still not sure what to wear, SA unifirom is appropriate.

Finished videos should be uploaded to iCloud, Dropbox, One Drive, Google Drive or another comparable cloud service, making sure permissions are set so anyone with the sharable link can view the video. Please ensure your video is submitted on or before August 1st, 2021 To submit your video - please fill out this form: CLICK HERE
