\n Tip #1<\/mimas-eyebrow>\n

Start with what you\u2019ve got<\/h2>\n\n

Don\u2019t wait until your act is \u201cperfect\u201d or professionally produced. We\u2019re not expecting you to hire a film crew. A simple video taken on your phone is absolutely fine! Just make sure we can clearly see and hear what you\u2019re doing. Talent doesn\u2019t need a filter.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n Tip #2<\/mimas-eyebrow>\n

Got something a little different? Even better.<\/h2>\n\n

Yes, singers and dancers are great. In fact, all previous winners of Talent for Tomorrow were vocalists! But if you\u2019ve got a less conventional act, we\u2019d really love to see it. Think outside the box. Stand-up comedy, live painting, looping violin, shadow puppetry\u2026 we\u2019re open to it all. In fact, the more unique, the more you’ll make an impact on the judges and audience on grand final day.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n \"\"\n\n
\n Tip #3<\/mimas-eyebrow>\n

Keep it short and engaging<\/h2>\n\n

We don\u2019t need a ten-minute routine to see your potential. Shorter is often better. Aim for one or two minutes that capture your energy, skill and style. If you have a few different clips, feel free to send those too, they help us see your range.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n \n \"\"\n\n
\n Tip #4<\/mimas-eyebrow>\n

A clear audio and video makes a difference<\/h2>\n\n

No need for fancy lighting or a soundproofed studio, but do make sure your video is well-lit and your sound is easy to hear. Try to avoid shaky filming, noisy backgrounds or echoey rooms. You don\u2019t have to be high-def, just clear enough that your talent shines through.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n Tip #5<\/mimas-eyebrow>\n

Add your socials (if you have them)<\/h2>\n\n

If you\u2019ve posted any videos of your performances online, whether it\u2019s TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or something else, include the links in your submission! It helps us get a better idea of your style and what kind of performer you are. It also shows that you’re comfortable putting yourself out there, which is a great plus.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n
