What has become a feature of Choirs generally is they are rehearsing remotely via social networks and compiling
virtual shots with members singing together from the amalgam of individual remote inputs. That final product involves quite a bit of editing. At Open Doors, the choir is embarking on a virtual recording from the song ‘This Is Me’ from the Greatest
Showman. How it works is we all received a backing track via an email with instructions as to where to save our video, on the designated Google drive. To participate you need two devices such as an IPad and a lap top. From the laptop you listen to the backing track to sing your part and record yourself via the camera and sound on your IPad. You use ear phones linked to the Lap top to ensure the IPad video recording of you doesn’t pick up any sound from the backing track. Quite a challenging thing to do but after many attempts and deletions I finally got it mostly right according to Anne’s rather good ear.
It will be interesting to hear the finished product as a recording and see how many people participate.
