Tsume Xiao Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We did this last year and Zrazor blew everyone away without batting an eye.THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT, STEVE.---Ordo Karaoke Contest---For fun, I have decided to to hold a Karaoke contest for Ordo Imperialis members while I am unable to fight.Before anyone freaks out:Hell no. This is not happening in vent!So how is this going to happen?This is going to be a contest held by submission of entry. You will submit your entry digitally, and it will be graded by the judges.What is Karaoke?I am too lazy to type out a description.Click HereHow to EnterTo enter this contest, you will be required to record yourself singing a song (you do not have to sing the entire song, but that will be discussed later)1. Complete and post the entrance form (found at the bottom of this thread) as a reply to this thread.2. Sing. Duh.3. Submit the recording. The recording must then be uploaded to a file-sharing site such as MegaUpload or RapidShare or emailed to me directlyThat is it.WinnersWinners will be determined by a panel of judges, including myself. If you wish to volunteer to be a judge you may, but then you cannot enter.Entries will be judged on the following criteria-How well the vocal quality-How well the song was replicated (proper lyrics, speed, etc)-Overall performance-Other random stuff? Maybe?PrizesWhat fun would a contest be without prizes!?!?Prizes will be a monetary amount of products from companies that are represented in Ordo by active members.The prizes will vary by number of participants:Under 10 Participants-1st Place: $2000L worth of merchandise from an Ordo-Owned store + QP-2nd Place: $1000L worth of merchandise from an Ordo-Owned store + QP-3rd Place: QP10+ Participants-1st Place: $2500Lworth of merchandise from an Ordo-Owned store + QP-2nd Place: $1500Lworth of merchandise from an Ordo-Owned store + QP-3rdPlace: $500Lworth of merchandise from an Ordo-Owned store + QPRules-Participants MUST be personnel or veterans of the Ordo Imperialis-Deadline for entries is April 14th, 11:59 PM SLT.-Submissions must be in .wav or .mp3 format-Any form of singing on Teamspeak will be a disqualification.-Songs must be real. No parodies or song's you made up.-Songs must have actual lyrics. You may not sing a song that is just one word over and over, or random blathering.(Exception: Agares may sing . He said he would last year but never did.)-Songs must be appropriate. I don't mean no songs with swearing, I mean no songs like Gunther - Ding Dong Song, or Lords of Acid - Show Me Your Pussy. Seriously. (Also, do not Google search "show me your pussy" to find out who sing's that song. You get some crazy ass shit)-Songs must be in English. Exceptions made for well known songs. (Examples of Exceptions: Nena - 99 Luftballons. O-Zone - Dragostea din tei. Pretty much anything by Rammstein.)-Submissions MUST contain a minimum of 30 seconds of actual singing. (For example, the first 15-20 seconds of Journey's Don't Stop Believin' do not count)-Submissions must be you actually singing.-Well known songs are preferred.-Try to avoid signing a song already picked.-Submissions will be posted in some form on the Ordo forums for all of Ordo to enjoy.-Tsume must sing as well, although he may not win prizes. He will not be exempt from this. Q_Q*This will be done between guns he is scripting, provided Aryte lets him leave the buildzone for his daily allowance of sunlight.There are 3 methods you may sing by:-A cappella: Just your voice singing in rhythm. No music.-Traditional Karaoke Style: Your voice over a special music/back-up vocals only track.-Sing-Over: Your voice singing over the actual singer's. Essentially the "ghetto-rigged" version of traditional Karaoke. If you chose this method you should keep the volume of the original track low so your voice is dominant over that of the original artist's.-----------------------------------------------Entrance FormName:Rank:Branch:Song: <Artist - Song Name>Method:--------------------------------------------------FAQ, Tips & Websites---Q: But Tsume! How do I record myself? I don't have a program to do that!A: Bullshit. All Windows computer have a program called "Sound Recorder"Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Sound RecorderHowever, for better control of your recording (Able to start over easier, see your time, etc etc) I suggest Audacity.It is free and very useful. I make my gun sounds with it.http://audacity.sourceforge.net/For MP3 exporting: http://audacity.sour...l&item=lame-mp3Q: I want to sing X song, but I don't know all the lyrics. What do I do?A: Look them up on this site. I'd say print them out or put them on screen when you sing.http://www.songlyrics.com/Q: I don't want to sing a cappella. Where do I get background music!A: For standard Karaoke style music, the more common the song the easier it is to get. Here are some sites.The Karaoke Channel Online: Check the "Free Songs Only" BoxKaraokePlay: Use the "Search" option. You do not need to log in.Ronan's Free Online KaraokeMusic Factory Karaoke: YouTube Channel with Traditional Karaoke Mixes.---Other Questions---Q: I can't sing!A: Its all for fun. Try it! You have nothing to lose!Q: I will embarrass myself.A: You are not alone. I am submitting an entry to. So you will have at least one other person with you.Q: What about X company. Can i get something from them?A: If they are owned by an Ordo member, let me know and I will add them to the list. Otherwise, no. The point of the prizes is to support Ordo members and raise awareness about their stores.Q: I am nervous! What do I do?A: Go to your bathroom and sing in there.---Tips----Stand up! It opens the airways and makes singing easier.-Sing a song you like and are comfortable with. It will be easier!-Don't sing out side of your octave! Bring the song to your level.-Have lyrics on hand! Even if it is your favorite song, you can't be expected to know all the words by heart.-Keep a good distance from your mic to prevent the sounds of your breathing from coming through, and from your breath hitting the mic and causing distortion.-Warm up! Sing the song or song portion a few times before you record to get your vocal chords ready.-Have fun! :D(I totally Copy-Pasted last year's post and updated it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
