CREATING AND UPLOADING
A VIDEO FOR OUR VIRTUAL CHOIR
Since moving to online-only, we began to create “Virtual Choir Videos,” where singers record themselves and send in their recordings. We then mix it together with our post-production team to create a virtual choir concert. Click here to access our step-by-step instructions of how to record yourself and upload your video.

Zoom Etiquette Tips
When attending a rehearsal, class, or coffee chat via Zoom, portray yourself in the best light possible by following these tips for general Zoom etiquette:
DESIGNATE YOUR SPACE
Ensure your space is quiet and clean and that it has an appropriate background.
BE THOUGHTFUL
Be on time, dress appropriately, and look directly into the camera when using video.
SET UP YOUR TECH
Check your Wi-Fi, test your video and audio, charge your battery, and get familiar with the software before entering the meeting. If you need help, contact Megan Bradley at mbradley@soundsgoodchoir.org
AVOID EMBARRASSING MOMENTS
Pay attention to your video and microphone settings to avoid awkward moments for yourself and for others. If you need to eat, get up, and/or move around, please stop your video and mute yourself until you return.
