Hey guys!  This is SuperSheba/Christin from last year's karaoke contest!  I thought it would be nice to create a separate thread to chat in and discuss aspects of the karaoke contest so that we can keep the thread about the rules clean!

@PrincessKitty- So EXCITED to see that you are competing again!  I can't wait to see you. :D  We should hang out during con.

It's my first year doing this (finally decided to just go do it after a few years of posting covers on YT ^^;). Do you have to memorize lyrics? :O I already decided on my songs so I don't personally mind doing it, but just wanted to be prepped.

This is my first year, too!  Finally got up the courage to do open mic last year, so this time I'm going for a more captive audience.  ;D

I'd assume memorizing lyrics gives you a better stage presence and so helps your score?  But I don't know if it's mandatory or not.

I want to enter this year, but I'm so nervous. S-SO MANY AMAZING SINGERS WILL BE THERE I'M SURE. OTL

Hey fellow karaoke contestants...I'm afraid I have some bad news. I'm afraid I won't be able to make the con this year.

Due to a heavier-than-normal workload during the last semester at college, and the subsequent severe burnout I have been suffering for the past month, I am afraid I must withdraw from FanimeCon 2012, and the karaoke contest, in order to focus on recovering. That, and the con just isn't in the cards financially.

Sorry guys, but for the first time in eleven years, I'm missing Fanime.

yoshi4sushi

me too. this will be my first time to compete. i got my songs n i am ready to sing my heart out.
do your best practicing ppl. i hope i meet you all at the con soon.  :)

SuperSheba

KusanagiShiro: I'm so sorry to hear that!  That's too bad!  I understand though.  I could barely afford to come.

iAnimePHr34k: Don't be nervous.  You'll sing better if you aren't.  One of the first rules of good singing is to be relaxed (and still have good posture).  If you tense, your jaw will get tense and you won't sing as well.  Just try to have fun and you'll do fine!

I'm very excited to compete this year! Singing is my absolute favorite thing to do so I hope to do well!

Sygmus

This will be my first time in the karaoke contest as well.  I love karaoke a lot but never participated in any kind of singing contest before.  Good luck to everybody!

I've considered entering, but I don't know. It overlaps with the Old School Gathering and the planned time for some of my cosplays (that's giving me a total headache right about now but should be amazing once finished), and the Fanime contest is always such ~serious business~, while I'm usually just out to have fun, haha. (Plus, I'd have to finish memorizng my two songs, and I'm not sure if I have enough time!) I might just save my prepared EGO WRAPPIN' music for a smaller con, but the more I think about it, the more I kind of actually want to enter.

So convince me that it's worth missing the gathering for and wearing my cosplay to! I might pop in to watch for a little while even if I don't enter, and I'll be around at open mic, as usual, prepared with plenty of Cibo Matto and maybe even some Pizzicato Five. ;) (Heck, if I don't enter the contest and have time, I might do my preliminary round song at open mic anyway)

princesskitty18

karaoke contest on its own is an amazing event especially if you hear the amazing talent thats out there
im not that great at convincign ppl of doing anything
im just saying
its an awesome event and something that you don't to miss :)

im excited for sign-ups!
