A few things to note

  1. all singers will be anonymous to prevent favoritism when it comes time to judge the contest
  2. Recording will be done on the heretical gaming teamspeak server (85.236.100.32:12287)
  3. These are your songs, I will take down any song at any time by the user request
  4. all participants will be invited to a steam group which I will make as many giveaways as I can (currently 30 but I have a ticket in for more slots) when the contest ends
  5. The top three singers (voted on by the SG community) will additionally get to chose one game from my prize pool before I make any giveaways

So far the best way to do karaoke over teamspeak seems to be with the singer listening to the song over headphones, I'll recording their voice and then add in the music in post production. Playing the music over teamspeak distorts the top end of the music. It is helpful if you chose a song that has an instrumental version already, While I can take any song and minimize the original singer, i can not remove them entirely.

I am unsure how long this competition will take, as I don't know the amount of interest there will be

EDIT cg just gave me the extra give away slots I requested, Thank you. Now there will be fifty giveaway made for the karaoke steamgroup at the end of the event

EDIT 2 Someone asked me if they could record more then one song, I considered this and said, yes, but new people will be given president for recording and editing, and if you get more then one of your songs chosen by the voting at the end of the contestant, you still only win once, the top 3 singers, not songs win prizes

I'd do this but I don't want to break peoples ear drums and then be sued. Trust me its that bad. When I sing in the shower I have a set of ear protectors on. I constantly have to replace cracked tiles. I found the cockatiel beating itself with a shovel one time saying over and over again "make it stop, make it stop".

The military said my voice could be classed as a weapon of mass destruction (they have been trying to figure out how to duplicate it)!

So I'll pass. :)

Heheh... Sneaky. I know you're trying to make me record my voice and share it on the internet so that you can uncover my true identity and pinpoint my entire secret lair's location and attack me by surprise... But it won't work! Hah! I won't be fooled!

Just a brief update, I have five people with songs in the works, a teaser about the song choices, one in a country song, another a yet to be named Disney song, and finally I have someone planing on singing opera. Going is slow as songs are only linked if the singer is satisfied with their performance.

I don't think I understand the question. Heretical songs as opposed to non-heretical ones? BUT THAT WOULD BE HERESY!!!

There are some talented people on steam gifts, unfortunately they also tend to be the perfectionists., I don't ask how many perfectly good songs have been shelved so far because the singer wasn't pleased with their preformance

Ha the only problem I'm having with this competition is the spam bot invites. I don't want to mistake a contestant for a bot so I have been taking all invited. On the side I am learning the spamming habits of the spam bots, One I have dubbed spammy McSpam bot sens me the exact same message at 9:00 on the dot. I'm considering keeping it as a pet

Plot-twist: Bot's algorithms are based on machine learning, he has already got into your computer where – instead of key-logging – he's listening the karaoke and in less than a week will submit his own song.

See, if I could do heavy metal, I would. But I can't. But the song I did (terribly) was from a band that does a bit metal-typed stuff. Dude, if I could do heavy metal, I'd be doing this shit.

Not true, the opera singer is good. And I might be. :p j/k.
Do also note people are not in a professional recording studio, and offcourse you won't get superb quality out of it or you try to sing with headphones on that kinda mutes your own voice too or having a mic in your webcam.
And from what i heard there might be a few surprises left with other entries ;).
Besides it's karaoke not American Idols.

You try to do better first bear, before speaking about others. You say soon, you say you are a bear but i think you are
just a chicken! It takes alot of courage for some to participate.

Personally i do hope whoever wins that it would go by who sings best rather then it being something "funny".
But that might be my opinion.

You are missing the point that when I say 'no one is' i'm not doing it with a malicious purpose, I'm just trying to encourage people to participate too by saying that no one needs to be a good singer to participate in this ^^

It takes alot of courage for some to participate.

Ahahahah, If only you knew that I already participated (one of the entries is mine) and that this whole event was based on my request and singing abilities on heretical TeamSpeak ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

Well, I'm not against the 'good singers' but imagine that suddenly someone with an amazing voice participates and wins. From now on, every karaoke contest would be won by that person, that would kinda suck for the others. Nevertheless it will be the SG community to vote ^^

Unlike you perhaps not meaning it, there are a few others saying something similar and they do sound like they mean it, some people might be more sensitive with their voice, and think i am not going to try or it's not good enough.

Well i been in a karaoke bar just once in my life, but from what i experienced people atleast try to sing their best and not try to be funny and such (okay maybe 1 or 2 drunk people but they also try their best but just don't realize they are crap).

That person who wins because of a beautiful voice just also can't participate in a next contest, and i doubt there really would just be 1 person with such an amazing voice.
Same goes as saying as whoever is the funniest might also win in other contests.

But i dont think the op atleast had plans on anything soon again from what i heard, he did have alot of work in it. I also offered the idea about a contest with people who play instruments to make a solo.

May the best woman/man/bear win.

I need someone to perform a song for me...

Within barely a minute (the video is a loop) it contains the entire forum. It's insta-win. If the karaoke was a poll, this one would be the Potato option. Literally.

Without further ado, lo and behold, I present to you... The anthem of SteamGifts!
