The people will gather from near and far.
For one shot at karaoke glory!


Where will it take place?

In case you are wondering how this all works.

At 6:00 AM EST on April 4th 2019, the sign-ups will begin!

You need to know these things:

1 The karaoke contest is not open karaoke.
It's a contest, stay in the room, please.
Don't make us hunt you down.

2 This is rated by audience ballot voting, any cheating will not be taken lightly.

3 All contestant music will be provided on MP3, other playable format or compatible with a 3.5 jack.

4 Any musical equipment a contestant brings, the contestant is responsible for.

5 All songs will be under six minutes.

6 Duets are allowed but only one prize will be awarded to the pair.

8 This is a public performance people tend to tape it.

FAQ

Do we allow lyrics?
Nope, no lyrics on that stage.

Do we allow non-karaoke versions of songs?
Yes! Non-karaoke versions are okay but people will judge accordingly.

Can we make a karaoke version for you?
No! The audio filters used to do that will make the track sound terrible.
(we can lower the music a lot and turn up your audio)

Why the online waiting list?
To cover anyone who drops out before the convention

Random order this year?
Yes, sign up order makes no difference.

Again no pre-screening?!
Yup. Worked fine last time.

Can I sing anything?
The restrictions are JPOP,KPOP,Anime and Game Music (Within Reason)
Has to be pg-13 or less content wise as well.

Can I change my song?
You can change your song until two days before the convention then it's locked in.

Can I walk into the audience?
Our Mics are wireless for a reason.

Will there be a screen this year?

Thanks.

Yes to above questions

Thanks.

A reminder that joining as a group does not add to your odds of winning and you get the same number of prizes.

I’m not attending AB this year so I can’t join
However good luck to everyone competing this year!

Sorry to hear that but I hope you can return in following years as time allows.
The karaoke contest is always a blast.

I love Karaoke. Sign me up!

Not yet

Would someone be able to use a stand mic if desired for stage presence effect?

The microphones start on mic stands but are wireless.

Will it be possible to compete if we are in the Masquerade or will it overlap it?

We usually run against Masq timewise so that won't be possible.
Though the official times for that event aren't up yet.

Are we able to sing english translations of songs originally not in english if the song otherwise follows the guidelines?

Yes

Would English language Vocaloid songs be allowed (examples: "Lie" by Megurine Luka, "Smoke and Mirrors" by Cyber Diva)? Also would dubbed anime songs be allowed (example: the original Pokemon theme song, "Carry On" from Sailor Moon)?

Vocaloid songs are okay, as long as they are originally Vocaloid songs.
Meaning not vocaloids singing already established western songs.

Yes, dub anime songs are fine but I imagine the audience and voters will set a high bar for such a well-known songs.

To sign up do I just respond here or will there be a new thread somewhere?

Hi! This is extremely last minute, but for sign ups do I just say all my info on this forum at 6 am on April 4? Thanks!

Ahhhh, disappointment but chosen staff schedule will not allow me to make it to Contest on time so you can take me off the waiting list :'((((
I'll just enjoy Open Karaoke this weekend then ^^;

Rodger off the list.

LAST CALL!
People not on the waiting list.
If you're going to change your song or drop out, you need to let me know by 8 pm EST.

I think I can try to stop by early for an at the door spot; I was also wondering if you could add me to the online waitlist if that's possible?
