On behalf of the SalCast, I'd like to introduce the SalCast Idol! A voice talent contest, be sure to show off what you can do!
Details are below, though, most importantly, get your entries in by 1st May.


We all knew this competition would come back to haunt us all. A long time after Master Neverdead’s attempt to do a singing contest, it is revived but this time we think it might just work. Here is the SalCast Idol! We want a recording of you perhaps singing or giving us things you can do with your voice like impressions or funky sound, by this we mean it can be as fun as you want it be. If your singing try to keep any music down low! We want your voice!

Here are some ground rules:

* You have to enter a music file such as (.AIF, MP3…).
* Make sure it is definitely your voice, we don’t want to have another artists work!
* Keep everything to a level suitable for 13+.
* You can only enter one valid piece. You can change your entry as much as you want but the final one you send is the one being voted for.
* If you have the ability to edit your voice, like if you want to add an echo that is fine but don’t edit beyond recognition!

Everyone will be allowed to enter, even the SalCast staff (they need their fun too!).

All entries must be put into the submissions forum here, we would like all entries in by the 1st of May 2009. It doesn’t matter how good you are, this contest is for complete fun! It is always the effort that counts, and remember you could be completely off-key with singing or your impression might be terrible but your confidence could win you the competition. So, now your wondering, 'Just why would I want to enter this ghastly competition when all I could meet is humiliation?'

Well, obviously no competition is a competition without some sort of a prize. You will get a chance to record a theme tune for the SalCast! And your song will be played in full on the SalCast! As well as this you might be considered to become a host for the SalCast and of course if that is an interest to you then we will be in touch!

Here's an example of something we would like to possibly see.

Now your probably wondering, 'Just how am I supposed to enter your file to the SalCast?' Well, you can either personal message it to Fatalysm using a file uploader such as Rapidshare or MegaUpload or enter it via the Submissions forum. Good luck with your entries!

@The questions: I'm just the messenger - Fatalysm and the rest of the SalCast team are the people you need to talk to. Or they could post here, I guess. tongue.gif

I should recommend that you sing a song you know if you want it to turn out alright.
Day
Awesome! My first post on the first page (Don't laugh)

I didn't read it, I think I'm going to do that now... hysterical.gif

[edit] Now I did... Can we edit our voice for part of the song, then leave it the way it usually is? bleh.gif

The funny thing is, I've suggested that a certain female character should sing that song. Maybe I can persuade her ohmy.gif.

@day: as long as we can tell it's your voice you can do what you want. Unless your act is so good we can't recognize you of course tongue.gif.
Trey
My song is secret, you can not copy me!

This contest is going to be great. If I do it (which I probably won't) I'm going to sing Boom Boom Boom Boom, I Want You in My Room.

I do not need a microphone. My voice is so powerful it goes to your computer hard drive through my speakers right away.

[/Pick of Destiny reference]


I'll try and enter, but that would mean downloading Audicity onto my laptop, which lags badly. slanty.gif
