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

Your audition video helps our team see your energy, creativity, and connection to the spirit of Celestia. Follow the steps below to record and submit your audition.

 

1) Prep (1–2 min)

• Camera: A phone is perfectly fine.

• Shoot in 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: Use bright, even light. Avoid strong backlight or 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 (your ID slate) 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.

​

5) Name your file (exactly)

Category_FirstLast_CityState_YYYYMMDD.mp4

Use this filename format when uploading:

Examples:
Singer_AvaLopez_DenverCO_20250901.mp4
Poi_JordanKim_PhoenixAZ_20250901.mp4

​

6) Upload

• Click the “Upload Your Audition” button on this page.

• Drop your .mp4 file into the uploader (Dropbox File Request).

• Wait for the success/complete message.

• ​

7) Final check

• Keep your original file until you get a confirmation email.

• If you don’t see a confirmation within 24 hours, resend using the same filename.

​

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).
