Yaaaaaaaaay! This keeps getting better and better! Hopefully by now we've accumulated more singers from the shear awesome-ness of this group!

How do get into the virtual choir? I've seen it on youtube and I know that you have to audition… but do you send the video to the "paradiselost" youtube channel? Because I would really REALLY love to joing the virtual choir; I love singing, and I love Eric Whitacre.

@Alicia Webb:
You DON’T in fact need to audition for this choir! All you have to do is wait for the next instructional video to come out and record yourself singing on camera to Eric’s conducting with your headphones in. After that, you just post the video and Scottie Haines (the producer) will take it from there!
Hope that helps and can’t wait to see you join in on the fun! :O)

This is going to get huge. Congratulations Eric and Scottie on taking the interwebs to the next level. Hope I can be part of it at some point.

Hi Eric- This was on the news in my area (Boston) and on the radio this morning! My church choir came into rehearsal raving about it last night. Congrats on your virtual choir hitting the media in such a positive light.

Glad to see that Scottie got credit on this one!
Can i just say again how amazing it is just to be a little part of something this huge?
