Be Part of the Virtual Choir

for All Saints Sunday!

All Saints Sunday and our feast of Dedication this year is November 1. To make this an extra special on-line service we need your help. We would like as many people as possible to form a virtual congregational sing-along. No experience is needed, only your voice and the video of you singing. If you are hesitant to let others hear your voice John can always turn you down, or do wonders with the recording!

The song ‘Amazing Grace’ has been chosen because it is well known and loved by many. Please consider taking part in this as it would be AMAZING to see and hear everybody singing together and would also create a sense of our community coming together again.

Amazing Grace is #352 in the blue hymn book which you can find on line here at http://www.commonpraiseonline.ca

Play the backing track (or download by right-clicking and save file/audio)

Send your video to John by October 22

Upload the recording to www.wetransfer.com and send it to tech@allsaintscochrane.org - the video will be too large to send by email.

If you recorded sound only and not video, and if you are comfortable doing so, please also send a picture of yourself so your smiling face can still appear in the end result!

 

How to Film Yourself

You will need two devices: one to listen to the backing track and one to record yourself.  Use headphones/earbuds to listen to the backing track so that you don’t record the sound of the music with your singing.  If you’re using headphones, it can help to leave one ear slightly uncovered so that you can hear yourself sing.

For singers on video it doesn’t matter if you record in portrait (upright) or landscape (wide) format as the image will probably need to be cropped to fit anyway. 

Record yourself singing to the backing track.  If your singing part finishes before the backing track finishes, don’t be tempted to turn the recording off straight away - just keep still until the music finishes and then reach for the stop button, because the finished video will need to play until all music has stopped.  It also helps if you have someone with you to start and stop the recording so that we get the video of you during the whole introduction as well.
