Is my voice going to be released to the public?
I've decided this is how things will be run. Here's an example : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH5eygbPuQEHaneii wrote:
how do you feel about me putting all the mp3s to play in one video? (nothing fancy. most likely a black bg with your name in the centre when your song is playing). I could then upload it to youtube (unlisted- meaning it won't show up on youtube's listing and the only way to access it is to have the the direct link, which I shall post on the thread.) After the contest is over I shall take down the vids. This is just an alternative to posting each mp3 on the thread for download.
/me likes ^^. Will definitely consider it.Agent Spin Here wrote:
Perhaps have the judges pick some people to go up for voting and then people vote on who out of them should stay?
I don't know, I can impersonate you pretty well.Todesengal wrote:
I think any judge you pick will be able to pick out mine and jarjar's voice easy :B
I see and now i know i can get the data fastTodesengal wrote:
I don't think voting would work; somehow I don't see voting working out too well, it's too clumsy on a forum.
wow you're quick . Got it, thanks.Agent Spin Here wrote:
I sent you my entry~

- Should the judges decide everything? No voting
- Judges have the final decision but they will take votes into consideration? (helpful in the case of matching scores?)
- Final week - only voting?
- [insert your suggestion here.....Indeed, I threw your own suggestion at you before you could even come up with/ suggest it]
- Should this list be a poll?
You'll be scoring them under different categories.Powerdrone311 wrote:
Just as a quick question...
As judges, are we supposed to choose seriously the BEST singer? =P

I suggest
Smoothness (Clear Voice etc.)
Timing
Creativity (Pitch/Note variation)
I also suggest you avoid judging based on...
BGM quality
Disliked voice
Song Choice (how the song sounds instead of the singer)

Smoothness (Clear Voice etc.) thanks, this shall go under voice.
Timing Don't you think that's a bit too technical?
Creativity (Pitch/Note variation) I really like this one. Thanks
I also suggest you avoid judging based on... I also like that you suggested what judges shouldn't be base their scores on
BGM quality I guess, but within reason
Disliked voice
Song Choice (how the song sounds instead of the singer) Definitely
Not at all. Timing is one of the biggest parts of singing, it's like half of what creates the melody (the rest being the singer's voice singing to the correct pitch). Without correct the melody can be horrendous. If you can tell that their timing is off then they should be deducted points for that.Haneii wrote:

Okay . I'll add Timing to the categories.Ekaru wrote:
If you can tell with the naked ear at 100% speed that they're off with virtually no doubt for a significant portion of the song without comparing to the original version of the song. That's a pretty big margin for error if you think about it.

silly dtk- there are unlimited slots
I don't think Voice should be broken down like that...a score from 1-10 based on all those qualities seems enough (imo).KoromoAmae wrote:
I think that creativity and entertainment value should be rolled into one category because they're subjective and difficult to gauge accurately, while voice should be split into pitch accuracy and enunciation clarity to give more objective measures and keep the number of categories at 4.
You might have a valid point here. Plus what if the judges don't know the original song. They wouldn't really know if you we're being creative or not at a certain point. Can someone come up with a strong argument for why creativity should be a judging category? (If not I'll remove it)Agent Spin Here wrote:
I thought this was a singing contest not a composing contest... How are we supposed to be creative, just bastardise the song?

Timing also is impossible when audacity decides to fuck up your timing even when you sing in time to the instrumental.

And I don't mean 'you can tell if you slow it down' off or '1/100 of a second' off, I mean if you can tell with the naked ear at 100% speed that they're off with virtually no doubt for a significant portion of the song without comparing to the original version of the song. That's a pretty big margin for error if you think about it.
There are 20+ contestants for the first round. Don't you think it'll be a little difficult for them to list/arrange entries from best to worst?JarJarJacob wrote:
I think it would be best to not judge like that at all. Each judge should arrange their votes on their entries from best to worst.
No, I think it's better to do it like that. Giving someone a 7 out of 10 would mean something different to every judge, in a way, you know what I mean? Just seems more reliable to do it like this so votes are all weighted the same.Haneii wrote:
