You can use a smart phone to make the recording of your voice. When you make the recording, you should sing along with the music track—but use a computer to play the music--and listen to the music using earbuds. Your voice will be recorded on your cell phone, but you do not want the music coming from the computer to be recorded on your cell phone. Make sure there is not a lot of background noise when you make the recording.

If you include a video with the audio of your singing, the video should be of your face and head, not your whole body. Make sure your face is well lit, and that there is not a lot of light behind you.

Label the audio/video file you make: “Away in a Manger.” Follow your director’s instructions for how to get the recording back to him/her.
