One Source Talent provide 3 tips for a good video audition

Musical One Source Talents
We accept a wide range of musical talents but keep in mind there may be limited space on the stage/performance area. Performances may include singing a cappella or to recorded music, or playing an instrument that can be carried on/off stage by the performer. Please note it may be necessary to limit the type of performances depending on stage/performance area space available at the event venue. We will accept submissions from groups; however, at least one member of the group must qualify under the Rules and Regulations. One Source Talent Song choice
Choose a song that fits your musical talent, performance range and personal style. We recommend selecting a song that is upbeat and familiar to a general audience. Original songs are permitted but often the audience will respond better to a song that they already know. Keep in mind that the song performed in your audition will be the same song you perform live in October! One Source Talent 

Video presentation
Start your video with a brief introduction with your name, company, city and state. Make sure we can see you and hear you clearly in the video. Keep it simple - we will accept copies of professionally-taped performances but we will also accept auditions from your living room or home office. Videos should not exceed more than five minutes in length.

While it’s true that children need to play and interact socially with other children their age, they do not need to learn with them. For example the case of a Gifted and Talented learner who has a chronological age of six and a mental age of 11 and has been reading since two. To put that child in a reading class with other six year olds who are just learning to read can be demotivating for that child.

Gifted and Talented students can feel isolated and misunderstood. They may have more adult tastes in music, clothing, reading material and food. These differences can cause them to be shunned and even abused verbally or physically by other students.
