Then he’ll put it all together, and Voila! A virtual choir! </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We’re starting with the very familiar “Spirit of Life”. The link is attached. It’s a pretty slow rendition, sorry — please let me know if it’s TOO slow and I’ll redo it. You can sing the melody line, or parts, whatever you’d like.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Vic will help with technical questions. He’s great.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Let me know how this all seems to you. Even if a only few people want to try this first go, we’ll get an idea of how it works. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">thanks!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Eliza</div><div class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">From: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Victor Guadagno <<a href="mailto:victorgeemail@gmail.com" class="">victorgeemail@gmail.com</a>><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">Spirit of Life</b><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Date: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">July 20, 2020 at 3:52:12 PM EDT<br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">To: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Eliza Thomas <<a href="mailto:eliza.thomas2138@gmail.com" class="">eliza.thomas2138@gmail.com</a>><br class=""></span></div><br class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Hi Eliza,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Great seeing you today. I'm looking forward to experimenting with online (remote) recording. Perhaps you can send this note (or some variation) to the choir. I hope it's not too confusing.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We are starting to experiment with online music recording. Here is a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRtV1rfK6aQ&feature=youtu.be" class="">video</a> of Spirit of Life (just piano), and we hope to add vocals. If you are up for trying this, here are some notes for AUDIO & VIDEO. If you have any questions you can call or email Vic (303-247-1800).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The most important thing is that we want to have your vocals recorded clean - WITHOUT the piano music (and other background sounds). What might be easiest is to listen to the piano on your computer (with headphones), and record audio & video using a digital camera (or smartphone). If you can do this, please look into the camera (or close to it) when recording.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">NOTES:</b></div><div class="">- Remember - USE HEADPHONES!</div><div class="">- If you have an audio recorder (and microphone) this would give us the best sound. </div><div class="">- If you use a separate audio recorder, remember that we want to get video. You can use a camera, or your computer (and send both the audio and video files).</div><div class="">- Another option to record video is Quicktime Pro if you have it on your computer. Open Quicktime and select File - New Movie Recording & hit the RED record button</div><div class="">- A final option is that we can record over a ZOOM call. Get in touch with Vic and we can arrange a time.<br class=""></div><div class="">- All files should be emailed to Vic at <a href="mailto:victorgeemail@gmail.com" class="gmail-asUmFb gmail-AL18ce gmail-Yh1nIb" target="_blank" style="font-size:13px;text-decoration-line:none;color:rgb(60,64,67);overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap;font-family:Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">victorgeemail@gmail.com</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""></div></div>
