Audition recording guidelines:
Your excerpts should be recorded in a single take to replicate a live audition.
In between the different excerpts you are allowed to re-tune or clean your instrument if necessary. This must remain part of the integral recording. Time may be taken between works, just as may happen in a live audition.
You have to be visible from the front, from head to toe at all times including your hands.
Edited recordings are inadmissible.
Please record in a room with a dry/medium dry acoustic.
You may use a phone or tablet with a good internal microphone, or preferably with an external microphone attachment. A laptop with a USB microphone or microphone connected to an audio interface, or a sound recorder with build-in camera, or combined with video from phone/tablet or camera.
