Critique submission

Critique Submission: Reference Performance

Watch the performance below, then record a verbal critique as if you were judging it in a live competition setting. Your submission will be evaluated on the depth and specificity of your critique, clarity and professionalism of your tone, pacing, and your ability to give insightful, constructive feedback while staying engaging and supportive. This is a REQUIRED portion of your application - submissions without it will not be considered.

Why WCTE, and what would you bring to the Adjudication panel? *

Please confirm *

I'm comfortable adjudicating all ages and levels, giving continuous verbal critiques through long competition days, following WCTE scoring criteria, working with a panel while scoring independently, and keeping all scores and results confidential.
