Celestia Audition Video  How to Submit (35–45s)

 

1) Prep (1–2 min)

• Camera: phone is fine. Shoot landscape (horizontal) 16:9, 1080p, 30 fps.

• Framing:

  • Singers: chest-up or waist-up.

  • Dancers / Poi / Cosplay: full body, head-to-toe in frame.

• Lighting: bright, even light; avoid backlight/windows behind you.

• Audio (Singers): quiet room, track volume low enough that your voice is clear (no distortion).

• Space (Dancers/Poi): safe distance from walls/people; clear floor. (Poi: practice rods OK—LED not required for audition.)

 

2) Make your ID slate (the sign)

On a plain sheet, write clearly and large:

​

FULL NAME

​

CITY

​

STATE

​

PHONE

​

EMAIL

​

CATEGORY: Singer / Dancer / Poi / Cosplay

​

(Use a dark marker. Hold it steady at chest level.)

​

3) Record

(keep total length 35–45s)

• 0:00–0:05 (5s) — Hold the sign to camera (fill the frame).

• 
  Optional: say your name + category while holding it.

​

• 0:05–0:40 (30–35s) — Your audition (one continuous take).​​

  • Poi: smooth basics or short combo (clean planes, control).

  • Cosplay: short character moment or skill pose sequence.

• Dancers: a clean combo that shows musicality & control.

• Singers: one verse + chorus (no heavy effects).

• 0:40–0:45 (up to 5s) — Quick “Thank you” or end clean.

Tip: If you go long, redo it. We can only accept 45s max.

​

4) Review & Export

• Check: face visible, eyes open, audio clear, body centered, no cuts or filters.

• Export as .mp4 (H.264), 1080p, 30 fps.

Quick category tips

• Singers: no auto-tune; track low; capture your natural tone.

• Dancers: pick music that hits accents; show control, then power.

• Poi: smooth, clean planes beat speed; no need for LED—control first.

• Cosplay: show character presence + a signature move/prop (no blades/fire).
