A few things to note

  1. all singers will be anonymous to prevent favoritism when it comes time to judge the contest
  2. after the contest, i will reveal the identity of all I have the permission to reveal.after the contest ends.
  3. Recording will be done on their own computers. I suggest audacity (http://audacityteam.org/) for this. the songs will be uploaded to a google drive
  4. To verify authorship I ask that the singer to upload a vocal only track. if they want they may also upload a mixed track.
  5. Singers may submit as many songs as they like.
  6. These are your songs, I will take down any song at any time by the user request , i will also comply with any copyright take down requests if I revive them.
  7. all participants will be invited to a steam group which I will make as many giveaways as I can when the contest ends
  8. The top three singers (voted on by the SG community) will additionally get to chose one game from the prize pool before any giveaways are made.
  9. i welcome anyone that would like to contribute to the prize pool add me on steam and I'll add you to the group/ If you wish you gifts to also be considered for the top three singers let me know I'll be making a thread on the group page for organizing this.

First off i want to talk about naming conventions When upload a song I'd like you to name it "song-artist-VOCALS" for the vocal only submission, "song - artist-SONG" if you are uploading the song you sang to be mixed with your vocals. and "song - artist-MIX" For example if you sang "Mad World" by Gary Jules, you would upload "Mad World - Gary Jules - VOCALS" After you upload your file(s) please add me on steam, so I can add you to the giveaway group and make a list of who recorded what song.

About anonymity.It has been pointed out that google drive shows who uploaded a file. if anyone has a good work around for this please tell me, untill then I can ask people not to peek, and/or hope you google account name isn't the same as you steamgifts name.

Finally for the end up the contest i am aiming for Sept 30th, however this may change depending on circumstances.

EDIT still haven't found a better option then google, For the shy people that wish to remain anonymous, feel free to upload you songs to a private location and send me the links, i will upload them concealing who they came from. Also I can create private folders for people to upload to if they cannot access file upload services on their own.

EDIT 2: Someone suggested i add a link to the first contest

A minus? Only thing I can think you could want me to add is music, and yes I can, to the best of my ability. ...

Edit I understand with the edit, I think, you are speaking of the musical introduction and the silence at the start.

Got it) What do you mean by editing? Adding music? Or did you do anything else?

Generally i do what i think I need to, I add in background music, and set it's timing. , If the vocal track had say a fan or something else in the background noise I'll remove that, I' usually have to adjust the volume of the tracks as well, because the vocals are inevitably going to be too loud or too soft when compared to the music.

Question: can we have the vocals only versions, so we can do our own mix / play live instruments over it / sell it to Virgin Records? :>

There will be absolutely no commercial use of any songs here, That is one copyright can of worms I do NOT want to open. I know it was a joke, but I kinda have to treat it as you were serious.

Of course, I do not intend to sell anything (but good on you to clarify, I would add a disclaimer to the OP just in case).
How about the first part? It would be nice to listen to the vocals only version.

That's the spirit. I can't sing well either, but I still enjoy preforming a song or two for karaoke. Heck the first contest where i spoke with all the singers, I had 90% of them tell me they couldn't sing before they preformed.

Posting again like the first karaoke contest. I would love to create an instrumental track for someone to sing over.I play electric guitar, so anything with electric guitar in it is (I think) doable. Add me on steam if you'd like to enhance the fun of your lonely solo karaoke.

Uff that is a hard choice this time :O

I somehow like Everything's alright, but I miss Laura Shingahara singing it... Barbie World is always a funny choice, but the singers took it too seriously imo... Uff... If more people enter, I will have a hard time choosing someone...

Thanks for the contest btw :)

Edit: I now have to participate due to some contracts with some other steamgifter.... well let's lose with charm I guess xD
