- We will not put anyone’s health or safety at risk to participate in the auditions.
- We will be as transparent about our process as possible.
- We will uphold high artistic and technological standards in producing the auditions, but we do not expect singers to have access to the highest level of technology. We’ve added a “singer resources” section on our website to help with their own video setup.
