FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My song includes a dance number. Should I perform the dance or skip that section?
If it is a solo dance, participants should perform the dance. If it is chorus dancing, it can be skipped. However, we ask that you choose a song with the least amount of choreography and choose one that shows off your vocal and acting talents.
Can I have my piece professionally recorded?
No, participants should self-record so that no applications have any advantages over the other. You can read more about video submission and guidelines for self-recording here.
