Tempmas Week #2 starts here - Win a NEW 3DS!

[Haymose]

So should this be just singing? Like with no additional music in the background. Maybe I'm overthinking this but a carol is usually something people sing out on the street with no music right?

We are still in the process of judging the first competition, expect the results to be up as soon as we are done. Remember though its Christmas for the staff too and we all have other commitments as well as our temp ones.

Yeah friend, Eagerly waiting for the results. Merry Christmas to you Thanks for the quick reply. I am proud to be the part of this site. Once again Thanks.

Does the winner have the option to get a new XL or only the standard size?

Well, I mean, you could go all out and layer multiple tracks with you harmonizing with yourself or with recorded instruments or something, but yeah, otherwise carols are generally performed either completely acapella or with only piano accompaniment when singing is involved. I'm sure they don't care how much you choose to do though as long as your own voice is included and it has that "Christmas jingle" vibe while fitting the other couple smaller requirements.

So my Music Skills are like: ZERO

If i record my cats begging for food miauws, does that count as a unique x-mas carol?

 

[felystar]

Can we play an instrument?

 

[GalenTheGamer]

Can it be a parody? Like with words from a classic christmas song changed around a little. "I'm dreaming of a white Tempmas."

 

[Veho]

Can we play an instrument?

Yes, to accompany your singing.


We want to hear you sing, people.

Yes.

That's what I was going to ask. I have an idea of using an existing song that'll have the same melody but with changed lyrics. It's not just an existing song, but it also has a copywrite on it.

 

[medoli900]

I updated the rules for the sake of clarity

"The carol must contain singing performed by either the entrant or a combination of the entrant and others"
"Written lyrics may be included with your entry but only the actual recorded performance will be judged"

We want to hear you sing is what the competition boils down to, you can add things to enhance your entry within the scope of the rules and fair usage but if your entry doesn't contain a decent amount of singing by you and others don't expect to win no matter how good it may be.

Ok. Is UTAU accepted, since technically it is still my voice?

 

[T-hug]

Closing date has been extended to Jan 7th!

 

[filfat]

"carol"? Are you referring to http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Carol_Peletier_(TV_Series) ?

 

[Issac]

Urgh, I so wanted to enter the first competition but really lacked in motivation. It would be bad to pass up on this one, but I think I haven't sung for 15 years (school choir when I was 12)... argh!

Maybe I'll give in to my fears...

EDIT: Already had some inpsiration, but I need to know if it HAS to be "Tempmas 2014" or if I can put a word inbetween Tempmas and 2014?

With the exception of last week, Every tempmas event I've ever seen puts Shy/Low self-esteem people at a disadvantage. #TheModsAreSadists.

Pfff, there have been AWESOME Tempmas contests The huge scavenger hunt was the absolute best one, and I had SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun! I remember being one of the first to complete that one. (just a one or two before me IIRC).

Oh yeah, I remember that I was the answer to one of the questions as well (or if that was another scavanger hunt, I don't remember).
