Individual Vocal Coaching and personal Career Counseling in groups. Choose a group time in the morning or evening for more personal attention.
Finalist and trophy segments are filmed and televised at the director's discretion. (Showcase at least one song with guitar/key, or acoustic instruments, or CD track for best video results.)
SHOWCASING TIPS:
- State your name and category. ("Hi, I'm Kathy Kameraredi and I'm a gospel singer" or "My name is Calabash Rice, I'm from Toledo, and I write country music.")
- Time your songs with a stopwatch or second hand before choosing your showcase selections. You will be cut off at your showcase time limit if you're still singing or playing.
- Dress for comfort and for show. TV filming is in progress throughout the event. We see everything from jeans to gowns.
- August weather in Nashville is usually in the 90's and humidity is high.
- Drink plenty of fluids and take it easy on your voice/hands. Relax and have fun. Let your light shine.
