Re: FFR Idol

I think half the fun of the contest is knowing not everyone has an amazing voice for singing.

Re: FFR Idol

I don't really know any songs that are less than 90 seconds long. Can't we just record the whole song and the judges can stop the playback early if they hate it? That's what Simon did.

Plus, I want to be able to screw up Lorem Ipsum with absolutely no restrictions.

We're not saying find songs that are 90 seconds or less, we're saying do no more than 90 seconds of the song. They don't do full songs on the show either. Just choose the section that you like the best.

is rapping permitted since not all of us were blessed with the voice of an angel?

We're really moreso looking for singing, it would be a bit hard to score a rap against singers I think.

Re: FFR Idol

For example, my headset (which is better than my old mic) has a soft tone at 61 Hz, and it's simple to remove without affecting the quality of the voice.

EDIT: Oh, another question, if you can't find an instrumental version of a track but don't want to leave the lead bare, would it be okay to sing your own harmonies and stuff? The instrumental in the example submission has back-up vocals in it, so I imagine it should be okay, but it's good to ask.

As long as it has no affect on your voice, if you are able to remove mic interference (e.g. humming, clicks, pops) then that is acceptable. I'll add that to the OP.

Layering your voice however will not be allowed. If you can't find instrumentals, you don't need them. There is no penalty for not having them in your submission. This is more about how you'd sound on your own, as opposed to what it'd be like if you were to be in an A Capella group that all had your voice.

is rapping permitted since not all of us were blessed with the voice of an angel?

Pick songs which showcase your singing ability. If you aren't singing, then we really can't judge you on your singing. If you're not all that great of a vocalist, don't worry too much about it. Have fun with it, and if you stick around you'll still get some prizes for participating.

He's not in the competition (assuming I have the right Chris and you're talking about the sample in the OP)

Re: FFR Idol

Learned audacity, editing, soundcloud, pulling instrumental off youtube and all this stuff on the fly which was hard for me but I pulled through (ಠ⌣ಠ)

Re: FFR Idol

hey lazboy, the youtube format is ok if that's the only thing you can do, however, we do ask that you use a backing track that does not contain the original vocals, because it's alot harder to distinguish your voice from the backing.

if it's from jojo, you can probably get the op/ed/ost/whatever album it's on, most of those albums actually come with instrumental tracks
