All skits are limited to two minutes. This makes a change from last year, so please make sure to adjust anything you've started working on accordingly.
Music and Recordings: At this time we know that microphones will be available for the masquerade. That said, there are a few types of ways we are offering media playback.
Fully Prerecorded skit - These are fully prerecorded and mixed by the contestant. Please note, our tech staff may or may not approve your audio. If your audio is not approved we will send you the reasons it was rejected, please feel free to re submit the track. Tracks may only be submitted three times. If your track is not approved after the third try we will suggest the second option.Background Music - This is a new option for us. You may submit music, or a mixed track for play back behind a live mic. This option allows for a mixed skit without prerecording the vocals. This is the best option if you cannot record your audio together or are not sure about the quality of the recording. You may be using handheld microphones, so please plan your skit accordingly.
Live Microphones Only - This option is for the use of only the microphones.You may switch categories before the convention, however you will NOT be allowed to submit music at the time of the con. Microphones may be handheld, so please plan your skit accordingly.
Music or Skits can be sent along with your confirmation number to masquerade@anotheranimecon.com as an attachment. If you have any special sound or lighting cues, we CAN accommodate you, but only if it is organized and sent to masquerade@anotheranimecon.com by October 10th 2008. The sound files will be previewed by our tech crew and given the ok. If there is a problem with the quality or the recording the masquerade coordinator will contact the contestant.
