Checklist for Speech Students-How to submit your videos

This information is taken from the tournament invitation, and there is more exhaustive information there. Please consult this checklist and the invitation periodically to make sure you have completed all steps and to see if there have been any updates.

- Create a Tabroom account. This will be the only way to access your ballots after the tournament has concluded.

- Confirm that your entry is listed on Tabroom.com  correctly (event and division).

- When recording, no other people should be present in the room.

- Your video is not to be edited in any way. You may clip from the beginning and ending portions of a video to remove transition to and from the camera to your staging area.

- Videos are to be recorded from a fixed position and the device must not be handled by another person during the recording.

- Your recordings must begin with the introduction "My name is (First Name Last Name) from (School Name). I am presenting the following (Event Name) for the 2020 Tahoma High School Tournament." It will serve as proof that your recording is intended for competition in this tournament only. If the introductory phrase is not present, it will not be scored by judges.

- Submissions are due to the Asynchronous Speech Google Form 11/18/2020, 9:00 PM.

- Immediately after submitting the form, provide the URL to your coach for Tabroom entry. URLs must match the Forms submission.

- If you have questions or concerns during the tournament, stop by the Ombudsperson Room.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR VIDEO 

After recording your performance, complete these steps:

- CREATE A YOUTUBE ACCOUNT, if you do not already have one.

- PUBLISH YOUR VIDEO: Log in to www.youtube.com, click “upload” at the top of the front page. Upload in standard and not high-definition.

- EDIT VIDEO DETAILS: The title of your video should be the event followed by your name (ie PROSE-Your Name). In the description, add the TITLE of your selection, along with your NAME.

- EDIT VIDEO VISIBILITY: When creating the Visibility, change the audience option from “Public” to “Unlisted” to ensure the privacy of your video; only those with a link to the video can watch. Do not make your video “Private” or “Public”

- Confirm Viewability: After your video is fully uploaded, please ensure that your video has no technical issues with sound/video and that the performance is viewable from beginning to end. You might share the link with someone you trust in order to double-check that the link works.

- Submit your video to the Asynchronous Speech Google Form. Be sure that you select the correct division and event, and be doubly sure that your name in the form matches your Tabroom account name.

-Send this URL to your coach immediately so they may upload it to Tabroom.
