Sing2Camera© Workshop 2024 (June)

EARLY BIRD TICKETS UNTIL MAY 1st

Our Workshop is back for June 2024! Sing2Camera©. . .

Are you learning to sing, or are you an experienced performer? Are you looking to join a band, or have you started singing or drama at school, auditioning online or gigging at parties and events?

At some point, you will need to learn skills to make a video demo, or maybe you are wanting to new examples of your style and repertoire?

The skills a vocalist requires to make a studio video demo, are very different from the skills required for live perfomances.

Come and join this 4 hour workshop, where you will not only learn valuable singing or acting to camera skills, technique and knowledge, but you will record a live vocal Demo in a style of video that appeals to you.

JRS Sing2Camera© will be held at the amazing Cockburn Youth Centre in Success.

WHAT'S INVOLVED IN THE WORKSHOP?

Leading industry professionals, Taylor Finch and Jenelle Russo will lead you through this workshop which offers tips and skills for performing in front of the camera, including an introduction to studio sound, lighting and recording techniques. The 4 hour workshop will be fun and confidence building, and will cater for all ability levels. JRS staff members will be on site to ensure each singer is ready and feeling confident before the live recording takes place.

The second half of the workshop will involve rehearsing and refining performances before the live, film recording. This session includes the refining and recording of ONE SONG. Jenelle is going to teach the group a hook of a song throughout the session and this will be recorded as a group! The day is packed with positivity and performance experience.

Following the workshop, Taylor will edit and prepare your video. Upon completion of rendering, you will be privately sent the final product! Depending on the number of workshop participants, this may take some weeks - we will contact you when they are ready.

Please note, for "first time" participants and less experienced performers, we will aim to produce a 90 second Demo. This is an ideal length for Social Media uploads such as Instagram, auditions, or simply to share with loved ones!!

HOW TO PREPARE?

We reccommend: You KNOW your lyrics/lines! Print them off and read them each day.

Please bring lyrics with you on the day.

The best preparation you can make is by practicing your song/script at home. The more prepared you are, the more enjoyable the filming will be. Often, the first take is the best one!

WHAT TO WEAR?

It is preferable to come dressed in the outfit you are wearing for your recording. Think about your image as an artist, and put the effort in to show your personality.

Please note- there will a changeroom area available if this is preferred!

Tip: Block Colours look best on Camera - not stripes or patterns. And remember, if you have chosen the Green Screen option, do not wear Green.

CAN PARENTS STAY?

No. All of our staff are qualified teachers and all have WWCC. They are excellent with assisting singers who are nervous and emotional.

Please drop off and check in your child from 12.45pm, and collect them from a JRS staff member at 5pm.

There is plenty of parking at the studio but a JRS team member will be waiting at the front to bring students through to the workshop studio.
