Excited to be performing in oct. Our room is just boxes at the moment, so hopefully we can dig out a mic, computer and guitar in time
Couple of questions:
- As it is 'open mic' we only need do a couple of songs right?
- I am toying with the idea of really doing it live, via something like UStream or LiveStream, but I dont know if you need some kind of special camera...All I have at the mo is the video setting on a digital camera....
May also need extra promotion so someone might tune in to it. What do you think?
1, Yes, two or three songs, a 'mini-gig'
2, As for going fully live, it's up to you, I'd definitely think you'd need to post a recording of it as well though, for those of us that can't get to see it live. That was the beauty of the Youtube thing, with the two week interval between acts, we all get a chance to sit down and watch.
And like you say, you may need a good bit of plugging and promotion to get enough 'live' viewers to make it worthwhile.
(shhh, don't tell anyone but the other advantage of recording it and posting it on YT is that you can start again if you mess up
)
