To be considered in the first round of auditions, all applicants must submit a completed application and upload upload a video
with ALL FOUR song selections.
Video Application Instructions:
(NOTE: Vimeo has recently changed some features of free accounts. If you are having trouble uploading, you may use YouTube, and set your video as "unlisted".)
Step 1:
Create an account on
Vimeo (if you don’t already have one). The Vimeo Basic Account is free, and simply requires a name, email and password. You
DO NOT need to sign up for a paid account. You will have to verify the account via an email they will send you to begin uploading.
Step 2:
Upload your video audition. Click on the “Upload A Video” button on the upper right corner of the Welcome/Home screen. There is an upload limit of 500MB, so you may need to compress your video before uploading it, but you
DO NOT need to upgrade to a paid account.
Step 3:
Once your video has uploaded, annotate the video and set to private.
BASIC INFO TAB:
Title, Description, Tags – Filling in a title will suffice, description and tags are not necessary for our purposes.
PRIVACY TAB:
- Who can watch? – Set to “Only people with the password”, set the password to:
Lenya2019
- Where can this video be embedded? – Set to “Nowhere”
- Who can comment? – Set to “No one”
- What can people do with this video? – Uncheck “Download the video” and uncheck “Add to their Connections”
You may skip Collections, Advanced or Upgrade tabs in the upload settings.
Step 4:
Once uploaded and processed (processing may take around 30 minutes), your video will have a paper airplane icon in the upper right corner that will provide you with the link to submit below.
