<p>I was wondering if I could do 2 recording sessions for my prescreen DVD. I'm not editing anything, I just want to do 2 individual recording sessions on 2 different days in order to see which one I could use. Is this okay? Or is this looked down upon?</p>
<p>You can do as many takes on as many days as you like (and can afford).</p>
<p>Agreed, do as many takes as you want. I am certain that most serious students do at least two recordings of each piece. The schools will not know how many recording sessions you have done, and I think that only a rare musician on a good day would be satisfied with their first takes. The schools wants you to submit your best takes. </p>
<p>Many will advise you when doing videorecordings to wear the same clothes each time, which may be a good idea, but I don’t think it is necessary. My son’s videorecordings were made in conspicuously different locations (unaccompanied stuff–Bach and Paganini–in a church and the accompanied stuff–concerto etc.–in a large living room) and he passed the prescreens everywhere (Colburn, Juilliard, NEC etc.).</p>
