THE PROMOTIONAL PACKAGE AUDITION

( Cocktail Pianist, Contemporary Duo, Contemporary Band, Island Band, Lounge Band,
Strolling Musicians, One Man Band, Harpist, Solo Guitarist, Piano Bar Entertainer
and Classical Ensemble )

 Since ProShip hires entertainers from all over the world, it is impossible to audition every act in person. Therefore every Musical Group must send us a complete promotional package, including glossy photos and a video of their performance in front of an audience. The video should capture your rapport with the crowd as well as their reaction to you.

VIDEO: The video must accurately represent your act in a live setting. If you sing with your band, be sure that is represented on the video. If you are a solo act, do not send of tape of you playing with a group. We prefer an uncut 1 hour video done in front of a live audience rather than a 5 minute edited video done in studio. With the uncut video we can see how well you are received by an audience and how much material you actually have. Your video should be of professional quality; the better you sound and look, the more chances you have of being selected. Comments accompanying the video to the effect that " ...this is an old video and we are much better now..." will not be taken into consideration. The musicians performing on the video must be the same ones who wish to work on the ship - no substitutions will be allowed. Click here for some tips to succeed

- Video Tape: (see above)

- Photos: All photos should be 8 x 10 with the entertainers in "formal attire" or stage wear. All members of the band should appear in the photo.
