Content Suggestions:

Videos should not promote a product or be designed to benefit you financially. For example, your video, or content in the Lunch Card, should not refer to a website where viewers can purchase a publication or subscription.

Begin with:

Welcome – “Hello ACDA members, my name is XXX, and I am (my job). I want to welcome you to this lunch break.

Content:

What would be useful to College/University conductors?

• Repertoire
• Conducting Gesture
• Rehearsal Techniques
• Community/Culture Building
• Resources
• Curriculum
• Vocal Pedagogy
• Warm-ups
• Other ideas?

What can you provide that will be useful to these conductors tomorrow or in the near future? Try to include:

• Why is this important?
• What is it?
• How can I use it?

End with a call to action.

• “Try this at your next rehearsal…”
• “For more information on composers like this, here’s a helpful website.” Include the follow-up information on the submission form. 
• “Reach out to a local business or organization in your area to see if they will partner with you for your next concert….”

Feel free to have various forms of content in one video:

• You facing the camera
• Your choir uses a technique you introduce (you will attest to having permission to do so).
• Short audio of a piece
• We can stitch together the video if you provide the content and specific time markers of what to include
• Videos should not promote a product or be designed to benefit you financially. For example, your video, or content in the Lunch Card, should not refer to a website where viewers can purchase a publication or subscription.
