FIRST, THE BASICS….

 

Please try not to disrupt the rehearsal  by following these five simple rules…

  1. You must remain  on MUTE unless asked to unmute

  2. Listen to the session through HEADPHONES ( any type)

  3. If you have a QUESTION for Brian or the Zoom host ( usually Olivia), please wave your hand until noticed or type your query in ‘Chat’ and it will get picked up

  4. If you have a persistent TECHNICAL PROBLEM , it often resolves of you select Leave the Meeting and then re -enter

  5. Have your second device – usually a mobile phone- ready to take LIVE RECORDINGS during the session when asked to do so

 

These sessions are open to all members of IDC. If you signed up long ago and never made it to one of our events, it could be a perfect way to get involved? First and foremost, please help things  to run smoothly by going through both the Welcome Video and the Quickstart Guidance.  Click HERE

You will receive a new Zoom main rehearsal room link by email on the morning of each rehearsal  (if necessary, check your spam folder). The same link will be posted on the WhatsApp IDC News group. Please join Zoom by 19.50 if possible so that we can start on time with everybody connected and ready to sing. You will need to be able to watch, be visible to others on Zoom, listen on headphones and possibly make recordings of yourself during this session.

IDC Video Project

So, much to our horror, not only are we asked to submit our line recordings, but Neil and Olivia would also like us to submit a Selfie and a short Video Clip lasting just 30-60 seconds. Only the video will be used and the clips will be arranged together with the final, composite audio recording.
