  • Your video is shot vertically instead of horizontally. If you need to shoot on an iPhone or tablet, turn it sideways.
  • It is not appropriately framed. Standard framing is top of the head to mid chest.
  • The video has poor sound, clarity, or lighting. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it cannot take away from your performance.
  • You have a distracting background. If you cannot provide a solid background, a minimal background is best.
  • Your video has title cards or subtitles. They are unnecessary.
  • Your video settings are not Unlisted. Videos that are Private or Public will not be accepted.
  • You “share” the video through YouTube. You must email the video URL to the specified email address.
  • You mark your video as Listed for Kids. Videos are unable to be sent to the instructor with this setting. (ie Listed for Kids means content for children.)  Click here to watch a video tutorial.
