Let’s go Karaoke with Shrek!

Fun is one of the major reasons why people love to sing at karaoke. And in Dream Work’s animated movie “Shrek”, this is highlighted as they had a karaoke dance party at the swamp. Watch the video clip to experience the fun! I’m sure you and your kids will love this!





The Party starts by Shrek’s welcome greeting and then turned on their own wireless karaoke machine. The video is an inclusive extra in its 2-Disk Special edition DVD or the VHS version. It was released on December 2, 2001. This is a celebration party after Shrek’s and Fiona’s wedding.  When the two have sung, their friends started to sing also. And the fun continues as they end with song “Dance to the music…” Common and jive to the beat! Haha

Karaoke Short Film

Have you ever had a problem wherein you just want to walk away from it so badly? If you have one or even experienced it in the past, I just want to share this great short film that can serve as an inspiration to others, especially those that want to relieve their stress – the karaoke. This amazing machine has the power to help us cope up with life stresses. This video shows how a young man pours out his problem by singing in a karaoke. 



In this video, music is evidently portrayed as a channel of a person’s emotions and feelings. You may notice the part where he is in the car and listens to the mellow oldies type of music. I don’t know what the title of that song is. Messages in the song’s lyrics are the ones which we relate ourselves to.

In the 7:51 part of the video, which is the introduction too, is the root of this young man’s problem. And the next thing he did is to express what he felt about that. He went to a karaoke bar to sing out his trouble, “What’s going on?”

Sometimes, we may experience some troubles on our way, but there is a solution for every problem. What we can do is to relieve our stress and live on as we try to solve them. One way of doing that is to sing your song in karaoke. It may not be in the bar, you can do that even in your own home karaoke system.

So next time you feel you are down, just grab the microphone, select the song that best relates to what you feel and start singing!

Disclaimer: I just saw this from YouTube, and recently, I have found the details for this film. It is an entry for the 2013 Sundance Indi Film Fest. You can read more about it here.

How about you? What is your reaction about this short film? Please leave your comments below.

Pinoy Out Loud – Dual Voice

Why is it that, wherever you are in the Philippines, you will almost always eventually come across a “videoke” of some kind: wireless karaoke machines, coin slot videoke units, and sometimes, even people following minus 1 track with lyrics over YouTube?

Because the Philippines is one of the most musically inclined countries in the world, not to mention, some of the best vocal skill are from here. One such skill is the ability to sing in dual voices. And we’re not just talking about being able to impersonate voice but actual, real simulation of both genders being able to sing.

It has been a long standing trend what with talented comedians singing female and male songs onstage; even prior to that, Doble Kara (two face) was a popular form of mass entertainment where people dress half male on one side of their body and female on the other and switch visible sides to the audience as well as voice on when on song ques.

The talent of singing with two voices sort of died down in a hype but was brought back into the spotlight with the rising of one Marcelito Pomoy on Pilipinas Got Talent.



Marcelito Po Moy - Pilipinas Got Talent 2011 by loamejan Other singers also took to Youtube and became celebrities in their own right like Amiel Orio who was featured in Walang Tulugan with Master Showman.


   

Justin “Koko” Tan, on the other hand, is making a name for himself on social media and YouTube with a wider range of video uploads and a ferocious following.



If you’re still wondering why videoke is such an undying and perennial trend in the Philippines, well, this is one of the reasons why. How about you, what other vocal entertainment mechanisms have you observed Pinoy’s to be good at?

How to Take Care of Your Karaoke

Karaoke is a very important entertainment appliance in our home.  Since you bought that karaoke machine for sale, taking care of it is as important as why you bought it in the first place. You can enjoy the best karaoke experience when your karaoke is always clean, maintained and at its best condition. Here are some tips on how to take care of your karaoke machine.

Wipe the Screen

The screen is the first thing you will notice in a karaoke machine. Make sure that there is no dirt and stain to enjoy a clean and clear output display of lyrics and video background. Use cotton fabric to avoid scratch marks. There are also available screen cleaners with brushes that are applicable for cleaning monitors.

Use microphone Foam Covers

Have you ever smelled your microphone? I bet that after having a karaoke party, its smell is disgusting. Too many of your friends have already used it. That is why you need to clean it every time you will have a karaoke party. But if you are looking for a better solution, you can use microphone foam covers to protect it from dirt and other debris. Aside from that, those foams are washable, so it is very convenient to use. They keep your microphone clean and will save you a lot of time for cleaning.

Disk Storage

Your karaoke disc is very important for it contains all the songs and resources needed to play your favorite karaoke songs. You have to store it in its CD Case to protect it from dust and dirt. Do not use your shirt to wipe the disk, there is a disk cleaner with an applicable cloth to clean it up. Most fabrics can cause scratches on the disk which may cause it to malfunction in the karaoke player.

Avoid Magnets

Keep your karaoke away from magnets, especially the karaoke player and the speakers. Magnetic interactions of any electronic device will cause interference and may even result to malfunction or worst, render your karaoke useless.

I hope these simple tips will help you in taking care of your karaoke machine. It’s always nice to sing when your karaoke system is clean and in its very best condition. Remember that this can be one of your entertainment investments. So you better take care of it. Events like birthdays and parties always come, be prepared with the number one entertainment device – the karaoke machine.


Happy singing folks! Thanks for reading my post. Feel free to leave your comment and feedbacks.

Wireless Karaoke Machine


The Wireless karaoke machine is the latest development in the karaoke systems. The term wireless is associated because of the wireless microphones and control system. These types of karaoke machine use the most advanced technology and have high-quality outputs. The classic set up includes wired microphones, speakers, and monitor to the karaoke system. The distance is limited and is dependent to the length of the wire. But nowadays, karaoke companies are releasing their latest models of wireless karaoke machines. And some even have a completely wireless system from the microphones, video outputs, and even the speakers! I will try to write without being too technical about the features. Besides, most of them are automatically setup.

Wireless Microphone System

This is one of the hottest devices in the market. Not just for karaoke, but for other audio systems that require wireless microphones. The advantage of using this is the ability to sing without having to worry about spaghetti wires, very easy to use and more efficient than the wired one. This includes a receiver and microphones with built-in transmitter. The receiver has the following general features (this varies from one model to another depending on the development and upgrades):

Automatic frequency selection
Automatic transmitter setup
Selectable frequencies (the higher the bandwidth, the better)
Detachable antennas
RF presence LED
Volume Control
XLR and ¼” outputs
5-segment Audiometer
Microprocessor-controlled
Frequency and power lockout
Low battery indicator

The receiver, on the other hand, has the following feature:

470-782 MHz frequency range
Automatic Transmitter
3-segment battery fuel gauge

These were some generic feature, but you can find more sophisticated and high-quality microphones compare to this.

Wireless Speaker System

This awesome type of speaker system gives you the advantage of using your karaoke and having placed your speaker on any part of the house. Imagine if you have a small living room and you want to save space but still wants to hear good music? The wireless speaker system is the best development of speaker systems. You can also use it even outdoors. This also has a receiver and transmitter. The transmitter is connected on your karaoke system while the receiver is placed on the speakers. I saw one of the speaker distributors in YouTube and their wireless speakers really is cool. I will not advertise them though.

Setting up this wireless karaoke machine requires a lot more money compare to setting up the classic type. But the pleasure and satisfaction is guaranteed.

I hope you find some valuable information from this post. If you want to know more about karaoke products, you can visit: http://www.mediacom-me.com/3-karaoke

This is the karaoke disc player that allows you to play songs with displayed lyrics. This should be a multi-format player because latest released karaoke machines use the latest disc format and some even renders HD format songs. Choose the best karaoke player.

Screen Size

Colored and High Definition is the ideal output for karaoke machines. The bigger the size, the better viewing and is very satisfactory. Your performance will also be great if you have a better lyrics display.

High-Quality Music

The music must be of high quality, Real Sound format is the best for you to really enjoy your favorite songs in karaoke. This is an advantage for those who want to practice and improve their singing skills and talent. What is the use of a karaoke if it only have a midi sound format. Choose the better; choose the one that have real sound quality.

High-Quality Microphones
