All of the Soundcheck judges are involved in the music industry either as professional managers, publishers, producers, writers or record company managers. Their ongoing role is to discover new talent that has potential to be a commercial success in the music industry.

Judges are looking for originality of song and sound, plus the overall quality of the arrangement. On the night of the Soundcheck Live Showcase, the judges will be looking at the overall performance. The overall view is that the quality of entered recording is not as important as the quality and originality of sound and song.

Due to the nature of the competition, there will be people on both sides of the recording spectrum. Some will have access to professional recording equipment, others will not. This doesn't matter as the overall view is that the quality of entered recording is not as important as the quality and originality of sound and song. we encourage you to enter.
