> Hello, Federation Family:
> 
> This year, we have a unique opportunity to show how each of us is
> living the lives we want.  We all know the song, and now it is time to
> sing it proudly! No matter your age or experience level, we would like
> to hear your voice, along with the NFB choir, in this virtual voice collage.
> 
> Here is how this will work.  All who are interested, including
> children, will record themselves singing along to the track provided
> by June 30.  They will send their recording, along with a picture of
> themselves.  Then, our fantastic audio-editors will take each
> recording and choose parts of them to use for the final cut.  The end
> result will be an ever-changing tapestry of voices of Federationists,
> proclaiming that we can indeed live the lives we want.
> 
> If you would like to be a part of this, please read carefully the
> instructions below.
> 
> 1.    Attached, you will find a document of lyrics and an audio track
> with claps at the beginning.  Practice singing along with the track a
> few times, making sure to also clap along with the claps at the
> beginning.
> 
> 2. You will need two devices to make this recording, one on which to
> listen to the track with earphones, and one to record.  The easiest
> way to do this would probably be to listen to the track on your
> computer and to record using Voice Memos, or a similar app, on your
> phone.  You must use the track while recording, otherwise your
> submission cannot be synced with those of everyone else.  Also, you
> must use earphones while recording because we don't want the track to
> come through in your submission.
> 
> 3. Make sure to record in a close, quiet space; I recommend recording
> inside of a closet or a really small room to reduce background noise
> as much as possible. You’d be surprised at how much your microphone
> will pick up.
> 
> 4. When you record, DON'T FORGET TO DO THE CLAPS AT THE BEGINNING.
> This is exceedingly important.  The claps will be taken out for the
> final cut, but we need them to make the editing go more smoothly and
> quickly.
> 
> 5. Experiment. Record yourself a few times, listening to each
> recording when you are done. Play around with the distance between
> your mouth and the microphone to get the best sound.
> 
> 6. When you are happy with your recording, title it with your name and
> send it to Rachel.grider at gmail.com, with the subject line LLYW+Your
> Name. Also send a picture of yourself doing something that illustrates
> you living the life you want.  For example, you might take a picture
> of yourself walking with your cane or guide dog, playing basketball,
> reading a book, playing an instrument-almost anything you can think
> of! Please be sure to also send along a description of your picture.
> 
> 7. The absolute final deadline for submissions is June 30.  Once you
> have submitted your materials, you will get a confirmation that they
> have been received.  If you don't get that confirmation within
> twenty-four hours, please reach out to me at Rachel.grider at gmail.com.
> 
> I am so excited to work with you on this project!
> 
> Cheers!
