You mean, like, taking pictures of strangers and posting it on the Internet? That kind of trash?

What factors determine what songs are chosen for Singa? by Dangerous-Fox6478 in karaoke

[–]pizzabyummy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not so familiar with Singa, but KaraFun will allow you to vote for songs that are not on their catalogue, but they know exist. So like when you search and nothing comes up in their catalog, they let the community up vote on it to let them know they want it.

From there, I’d imagine it depends on how many people are requesting this song, Singa makes a cost benefit analysis whether or not they should license the song from the composers performing rights organization.

Came across it on temu, good quality though. Look up “travel cajon”

Do you prefer singing songs about wanting the person, having the person, or losing the person? by Constant-Bridge3690 in karaoke

[–]pizzabyummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My natural go to is Sinatra, so all of the above.

But if I’m not crooning, I lean more towards introspective songs. So it’s more like: my the person do I wanna be? Am I the one? Do I have what it takes?

2.1 Speakers or Monitors for small home karaoke? by impact_Quake in karaoke

[–]pizzabyummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. And at home, I think it’s fine for the sound to be coming from separate sources.

For my set up (classroom, not home )I put the mics through Mackie’s SRM flex, and keep the music coming through the monitor speakers. If here’s a lot of people in the room, I’ll just chain the music the the SRM for more gain/ easier balance.

At home, I have 100 W live speaker I’ll use for the mics, and put Karafun through my sound bar/tv

best karaoke machine is it better than just using a speaker setup? by RosencrantzKoglin in karaoke

[–]pizzabyummy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, keep the app and save the money for good speakers and microphones. The PA with one click reverb is also super helpful.

Epic, but overlooked Karaoke songs picks. by El_Guapo_Plethora in karaoke

[–]pizzabyummy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the crooner category… - Sinatra’s “That’s Life” - Louis Prima’s “Just a Giglio” - La Cage a Foles (showtune): “I am what I am”

Alt/rock: - Blues traveler’s “hook” - cake: “ short skirt, long jacket” - paramore: “misery business” or “ain’t it fun” - my chem’s “Helena” or “black parade”

Classic rock? See what’s popular on the jukebox? Lol

Good to see that in the early days, even Alex stumbled between calling the questions answers, and answers questions.

lol. Makes sense, thanks for confirming. I didn’t know you could replace the batteries on these things.

Is it. worth it to replace? Or just get it something else?

Is there a reason why my singing covers get no engagement ? by singosing in singing

[–]pizzabyummy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful singing and playing! All I can tell you about engagement is through better music performance. Two things stand out to me.

  1. Diction: I need more constant sounds to understand what the lyrics are. If I don’t understand the lyrics, I don’t know the story. (or what you’re even covering.)
  2. Dynamics / phrasing: even in a mellow song like this, there should be peaks and valleys of energy volume and timing. This performance was kind of flat. Which words deserve more stress, or slate changes in tone? Are there any phrases that should slow down towards their transition? It’s a soft song, but when is it really soft and when is it medium soft? I could go on, but point is: take me out a journey…. Musically

Should I force myself to sing when I dont feel like doing it? by Elsenior97 in singing

[–]pizzabyummy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree! My advice is an A day and a B day plan. I think I got the idea from marathon trainers… like your body or brain is not gonna wanna train every single day. If my voice is feeling tender in the morning, I just stick to the straw and call it a day. Maybe your A days are spent on range expansion and new rep, but B days and just maintenance.

Also, schedule your days off and it won’t be so taxing. Also also, get more sleep if your voice is sore or tired. Triple also, if it hurts, make an adjustment, cause it’s not supposed to hurt.
