My apologies, I was simply trying to abide by the guidelines on the Community page, which were quite a bit less complex. I did not realize there was supposed to be a weekly theme, or an introduction requirement (which I'm vehemently against), or a requirement to produce your own backing music (which I do anyway), since so many of the posts seem to use karaoke tracks.
I thought the 'weekly participation' bit was more of a contest, which was why I labeled my posts as 'Rough Cuts', so as not to be confused with contest entries.
Sorry about the confusion, I will simply post my rough cuts to my blog until I can find a more suitable Community for them. I hope to produce some more polished videos later this year, which I will post in Hive Open Mic as a participant.
Thanks for the heads up, and for all you bring to Hive and 3Speak!
No problem with the music, you're doing great, we just ask that at the beginning of the video you say that it is an exclusive participation for the Hive Open Mic. We still recommend the sister Music Community for original music and covers outside of the Hive Open Mic dynamic, but we invite you to continue participating in our community by following these suggestions. Happy start of the week brother! ✌️
