Should I tape a video or should I just do audio recording? Which one is better? If I do video, is there specific requirement on dress and environment? just video taping me playing in the corner of my bedroom is ok? or in that case, it is actually better just do an audio recording? Thank you!
I’m not a professional, just an applicant, but I think I can comment on this. I personally sent in a video and I wore dress clothes. Since I’m a boy I wore a polo shirt and khakis. I used my bedroom but had my camera facing the wall and my chair against the wall. I’m not sure what kind of performance you’re doing (dance, orchestra, theater, chorus, band) but adjust that to whatever your needs are. If you need your whole room, make sure it is CLEAN. Have your bed made, nightstand clear of any nonessentials, nothing on the floor, closet closed.
To summarize, wear “fancy” clothes but make sure you’re comfortable and can perform. For a dance routine, wear something similar to what you’d wear either onstage or in class. And make sure that if you need your room, that your room is clean.
Thank you so much Jack for the information! Really appreciated. I play instrument so I can just play with my chair against the wall like what you did.
