Video Project Instructions

WELCOME – We are so glad you are participating in the Mystic Chorale’s Virtual Choir Video Project!
If you’re new to creating the videos, you might find there’s a bit of a learning curve, but we have lots of resources to get you started.  Please review the materials below and give it a try!  If you have questions, we have a some fellow singers ready to help.

Video Project Instructions and Resources

What you need:  To get started, you will need three things:

    1. A phone to record yourself singing (audio or video)
    2. A computer, tablet, or 2nd phone to listen to a reference recording you will sing along with
    3. Earbuds or headphones so the reference recording cannot be heard on your video

Android phone users should find this helpful, too.  Please note: at the end of this video, the instructions say (incorrectly) to “email your video.”  Instead, we ask that you use the Dropbox link we provide to upload your video to us.  Thank you!  Many thanks to Kilian Mooney and the Sharing A New Song (SANS) Chorus for sharing this video with the Mystic!
