Aw man, I posted right at 7 but my post was hidden and is awaiting moderator approval, so I guess it somehow was not counted? When do Friday signups start?

Re: KARAOKE CONTEST 2023 🎶🎶✨✨
I'm going back over the list by updated post order...
I think the thread had a serious lag issue, fixing now.
Since the rule is submission first, not which one I see first.
I have made following corrections.
Sign ups for the last six spots at con will start Friday when doors open.

Re: KARAOKE CONTEST 2023 🎶🎶✨✨
Hey everyone,
So it looks like doing the sign ups this way was too much for the forums to handle which has never happened before. We understand that the issue here is due to the speed of the forum and each person's own computer/internet.
Because of this, everyone who posted here already WILL be in the contest! We will just have less spaces available the day of the convention. There will still be a total of 12 spots + 3 alternates.
Going forward we'll think of some other way of doing this so the speed at which one posts isn't an issue. We're already throwing around ideas and we're open to suggestions.
Sorry about the confusion and frustration here.
EDIT: We also won't be doing a waiting list for the forums this time so if someone drops, we'll open a spot for the Friday sign up instead.

This still means that a microphone will be provided at the event right?otakuforlife wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 7:00 pm 4 Entrants are responsible for any musical equipment they bring.
Also, to confirm, any remaining spots will only be fillable in-person going forward?

Microphones are always provided.
Any additional contest spots you'll have to come by on Friday sign up for the event.
Due to the forum issues we will only have the three spots and alternates available at con.

Friday there will only be three spots plus alternates for the Karaoke Contest. Those will become available when the room opens at 9am. While people can line up before or sometimes relax in the room. We won't be opening the desk to sign ups until then.

Also, if we're signing up for the karaoke contest in-person, is it okay to provide a URL to a youtube link for the off-vocal track that we plan on singing?

Absolutely can provide a YouTube link on the digital sign ups, its basically the same process as the open Karaoke sign ups.

I realized I linked the original song instead of the instrumental, so I updated my post!

Re: KARAOKE CONTEST 2023 🎶🎶✨✨
The karaoke contest online submission thread has closed for this year, the nine preselected are in a list at the top of thread. the rest would be on sign ups at the karaoke desk on Friday. Normally we had always done thread submission only, but we might have to change are system next year do to obvious issues with the submission process. Feel free to sign up Friday if spots are available, you can also sign up there for Open karaoke throughout the weekend.ltdavis wrote: ↑Sat Apr 01, 2023 3:45 pm do I just post the information in the replies of this thread, or is there some sort of special form that I have to fill out/place on the anime boston site (main site or forums) that I have to send my information to?

Re: KARAOKE CONTEST 2023 🎶🎶✨✨
Hey! I just wanted to follow up a bit with some more info about open karaoke.ltdavis wrote: ↑Sat Apr 01, 2023 3:45 pm do I just post the information in the replies of this thread, or is there some sort of special form that I have to fill out/place on the anime boston site (main site or forums) that I have to send my information to?

We have open karaoke which is open Friday 9am-2am, Saturday 9am-2am and Sunday 10am-3pm. The contest runs on Saturday from 6pm-8pm. The contest sign ups in this thread is currently closed so it's all filled, but we will have 3 guaranteed spots and 3 alternate spots (in case someone drops out) that you can sign up for when doors open. These fill up fast so if you'd like to try for one, you have to be there Friday 9am, especially since we'll have less spots this year due to the forums being glitchy.
If you're not able to sign up for the contest, you can still sing any time during open karaoke! Usually there is not much of a wait right after we open but the list does build up quickly so sometimes there can be a long wait time (1-2 hours even!) for your turn. We have our sign up list in a Google doc so you can check on it even if you aren't in the room (it has been a bit funky in the past though so I'm not sure it's the most reliable when viewing on a phone).
When you come into the karaoke room, we will have some printed papers hanging on the walls and on the tables with a QR code. Just scan the QR code and it will bring you to the sign-up form. Make sure to read the rules since we have some rules on what music is and is not allowed as well as other useful information.
We do also have a hard drive with a huge library of music, but you are not at all limited to the songs in the hard drive. Many people use YouTube, Spotify or we can plug in their phone for the song. (We also WILL have adapters this year for phones that don't have audio jacks! yay)
If you aren't able to use a phone to sign up or it's too much of a hassle, we will also have a laptop with the same form where you can sign up as well!
Since it's all through Google docs, there is also a list of all the sign ups. You'll be able to see where you are in the queue, how many people are before you (we usually estimate about 4-5 minutes per person) and what your number in queue is. You don't have to memorize the number since we always call by the name in the list, it's just helpful for knowing how long until your turn.
I think that's the basics of anything but please feel free to ask us anymore questions.

Re: KARAOKE CONTEST 2023 🎶🎶✨✨
I just want to put out there I was absolutely blown away by everybody's performances last night. Wanted to come out and congratulate all of you individually though my partner wasn't feeling well and we ended up having to duck out quickly. But seriously, you were all amazing and I felt honored to share the stage with you all! And a huge thank you again Brian and the rest of the staff for putting this on - highlight of my con now for two years in a row!
On a side note - does anyone know if there was a recording made this year by any chance? I saw the staff photographer but I wasn't sure if they were doing video or only photos.

Re: KARAOKE CONTEST 2023 🎶🎶✨✨
Thank you for such a sweet response.
Unfortunately the staff didn't record the contest but I'm sure there will be many wonderful
photos available on the main website. Also maybe somewhere on YouTube someone captured our
amazing performers for later viewing.
