This video should include your name, age, home church (city & state), an introduction of your particular talent, how long you've been using this talent, and a short clip of you performing your actual talent. THE AUDITION does not have to be the song/composition that will be performed during the showcase. Please be sure that this video is clear (audibly and visually).
