Tips for Singing entries · up to 5 minutes

Camera & framing

Place the phone at eye level, about an arm’s length (1 metre) away, with your face and shoulders in the frame.

Sound

Sing in a room with curtains or soft furniture — avoid echoey rooms like bathrooms.
Keep a backing track softer than your voice, from a speaker behind the phone, or sing without music.

Your performance

Checklist for every video

Record in a bright place — face a window or a lamp. Don’t stand with a light or window behind you.
Keep the phone steady on a stand, tripod or a stack of books instead of holding it.
Pick a quiet place: switch off the fan, TV and music, and tell your family you’re recording.
Use a plain, tidy background so the judges focus on you.
Charge your phone and use Wi-Fi if you can — a 5-minute video is about 60 MB to upload.
Record live in the app in one continuous take of up to 5 minutes. No editing, filters or old videos.
Watch the preview before you submit. You can record again until the contest date — only your latest video counts.
