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

Hi, I forget about one thing. It's kinda obvious but I fell like I should ask - can songs have 'unoffcial' instrumentals? Some of songs I'm planning to do (yeah, Im actually considering two or three songs - I just cant decide!) don't have officiall instrumental versions, only some covers. I fell like originals would be better but I guess I will have to work with avalible things :P

And second thing - Sept 30th is a planned deadline for submissions? After that there will be new topic with all songs and poll?

firstly, I tend to let the singer decide their music, the last contest had someone preform to a piano rendition of the song they likes, and another case where two people collaborated. one preformed the music, an the other sang.

And yes after I close submissions I'll make a new thread for the voting.

Sadly, no, this year seems to be difficult for me and I didn't have time for anything basically. I won't be lying if I said that I actually forgot about the whole karaoke thing. I feel bad about it since I see there is even one song in polish, so I wouldn't be an exception. I'll have to wait for another time it seems.

The thing is, that it just doesn't catch the whole song :/ Quality isn't that bad, but only when I sing loud and the song I chose is kinda... calm.

You can correct for microphone noise, there are several nice adaptive filters you can use to minamize it, and when you ad in the background music it usually is barely noticeable.

I was expecting her to break the glass with her voice at first.
But when she picked up the glass to tag a drink of water, I was expecting her to smash the glass into the ground, thus breaking it.
Looks like I was wrong.

Same here. Though I lost it actually trying to record a song (I'm completely untrained in the fine art of singing, so I guess I just strained it a bit too much). So there won't be an entry for me, unless I send in the test recording that ruined my voice :(
