I apologize for any mistakes. Because the song is by Journey, I thought the map idea was creative--*shotshot* Also, there was another chorus at the end I forgot to add to the lyrics when we were signing up, but it worked out because a number of you still sang it. Annnd, there's a part where it's just one person ad-libbing/singing/humming. That's KH2man13. Anyway, enjoy!

Don't Stop Believin' Stats. 11 out of 11 solos TAKEN. 1 out of 13 quartets OPEN. 4 out of 4 duets TAKEN. Chorus OPEN. Notes; ★ Welcome, welcome! Time for Don't Stop Belivein', an anthem of sorts. This songs holds the magical ability to make people cheerful. It can be a lot of fun if done right, so give it your all! Be energetic! Feel the magic! Not only are we receiving the joy of singing in a chorus with each other, but we want our emotions to be captured by those who listen as well. So feel it in your heart and have loads of fun! ★ I don't know how fast this one will fill up, but if it turns into an ocean of members, don't freak out. Double check your lines and I'll update when I'm Online again. ★ Pay attention. If you mess up on a word or a line, please do it over. Sometimes it really hard to fix your mistake. I know it can be time consuming, but it's worth it. ★ Your lines are due BEFORE the listed date. If you have to drop out, drop out TWO DAYS prior at the latest. This is a new requirement. I'm tired of late minute drop outs. Please help me out by giving me enough time to work with your dropping out, if you must do so. I've been lax with this because of the holidays. But I'll be enforcing it now. What is this? It's just a collaboration type musical thingy with KHV members. Anyone can join. ANYONE. All you have to do is post the lines you want, record them, and send them to me on time. If you weren't in the previous choruses, I need you to find a picture for me to edit for you. High quality anime pictures can be found here: http://www.zerochan.net It doesn't have to be anime, it can be anything. It just has to be HIGH quality, and LARGE enough for me to work with. Not giant. But a nice size. Bigger than our avatars. Once you turn in a suitable picture, you'll never have to again unless you want to for future chorus stuff. So yeah, if you want to find another picture for me even if I have one, let me know. Otherwiseeee, for anyone who -hasn't- given me a picture yet at all, please do so. There are no auditions, no microphone restrictions. It doesn't matter if you think you're an amazing singer, or if your mic is fuzzy, all I ask if that you have fun with it and turn your parts in! The Song? Spoiler: Original Song [video=youtube;5I-SbwCHJ80]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I-SbwCHJ80[/video] Spoiler: Instrumental http://www.box.com/s/84tgxx4lnuotzfdittb8 (First line starts at 00:23) ("A singer in a smokey room..." starts at 1:10-11) ("Working hard to get my fill..." starts at 2:06) How to Record. For those of you who aren't sure how to go about recording yourself singing it, there are several different programs you can use. Audacity is a free program. I use Reaper, which is also free for evaluation. What I'd like to ask if that you sing along with the instrumental/main track for timing, but your finished track not have the instrumental. For example, if you make two different tracks in a program, and record yourself singing on one track and have the instrumental on another track or playing on youtube or something while you sing your part, when you send it to me I would like to just hear your voice and not the instrumental. It is MUCH better for you to be too quiet than too loud. If you're quiet, I can turn your volume up. If you're too loud and your mic peaks, I have to turn your volume way dowwwn. You can sing along with the instrumental, and it's okay if the instrumental/main song is heard faintly in your recording, so long as it doesn't overpower you. For those of you who decide to use Reaper, I can show you a detailed tutorial on how to do it. Here's an Audacity tutorial written by P for Mulan, but whatever; Spoiler How to Use Audacity Getting the Stuff Go here and download the version for your computer. (Use the 1.3 series.) Install it in the manner appropriate for your OS. Go here to download and save the Mulan instrumental to somewhere on your computer. (Or whatever instrumental you may be using.) Opening the Instrumental Open Audacity. You'll should see this. Open the Mulan instrumental with Audacity. In a Mac, it's File>Open. Navigate to where you saved the Mulan instrumental, and open it. You should now see this. There are two tracks, for the two stereo tracks. Recording Open the Audacity preferences and look under the 'Recording' tab for the Overdub option. Make sure it is ticked, so you can hear the instrumental as you record. Mine looks like this, but yours may be slightly different. Press the red button up top. A new track will begin to record, as can be seen here Listen through the instrumental until you get to the part with the lines you need to sing, at which point, sing them. When the song is finished, press the yellow, square stop button. You should end up with something like this. Fixing Errors Of course, you'll probably screw up somewhere. That's why you can do it multiple times. Click mute on the mistake'd track, as in here. Next, click before the area where you made a mistake and press the record button. You can now sing the part again. When you're done, press the stop button. You'll end up with this. You can do this procedure as many times as needed, until all lines are correct on at least one track. Editing Now we have to delete everything except the lines you're gonna use. (You can now unmute any muted tracks.) We want to use the Split Delete tool. You do this by selecting the unwanted lines, as in here, and using Split Delete on it. On a Mac, the shortcut for it is Option+Command+K, but on a PC, at a guess, it would be Alt+Control+K. It will yield this result. Continue doing this until you've only got your lines left. Mine looks like this. Now we remove the instrumental track too, by pressing the X on the top-left of those two tracks. We're left with this. Sending to Jayn Now the hard work is done, we just need to export it. Go File>Export, and choose where to save the file. Make sure it is in WAV format. It'll look somewhat like this. Ignore this metadata thing that pops up. Just hit 'OK'. Likewise, hit OK on the Mono Channel warning. You're done! Now go and upload your file to some filehost, or email it to Jayn. Rules? Have fun! Send your lines to klairecross@gmail.com in MP3 or WAV format OR provide a download link for me in this thread, PM or VM. You may have FOUR parts (FOUR lines), and a maximum of FOUR people can sing one part together--EXCEPT for the lines in [brackets]. Those are solos, so only one person can claim those. This rule may be changed depending on how many people are interested. These Kawaii Desu things here --> { ♥ } <-- are for duets. Only TWO people can claim those. The lines in black should be recorded by everyone. First come first serve for lines, but the deadline is January 8th. That means turn in your lines BEFORE then. Once a line is striked out, it means it's not available anymore. Please RESERVE your lines before you record. You can post here with what lines (FOUR max, but not three solo parts) you want. I will update the thread with who's singing what part, and what lines are all reserved out. When you send your lines to me, you can either have your lines timed to the instrumental in ONE long file !TIMED TO THE INSTRUMENTAL!, or you can record all of your lines separately and send them to me that way in a ZIP or RAR file. Once again...TIME your vocals. Sing to the TIMING of the song. Sing to the song. Remember that I don't actually want to hear the song behind your vocals. If you sing along, wear headphones so your mic doesn't pick it up OR have the song really low while you record. If I hear it, the audience will too and that makes it sound bad. Please help fill out the song. If you have the time, please pick four parts. REMEMBER to record the BLACK LINES. Otherwise, when the chorus sings together, your voice will not be included. Anyone can sing the black lines, but I'm less likely to fit you into the video if the only thing you sang were the black lines. (When it's much harder to fit everyone in to begin with.)

Season Two Finale! Welcome...! Quick note; REMEMBER. Midnight Star, P, post here to save your spots, but don't post your submission. PM that to me. I will then edit your posts with the post you PM me when I receive both of yours. Congratulations, Midnight Star and P for making it to the final challenge. You have fought long and hard and managed to reach the very end. I would also like to take this time to thank everyone else who signed up for Season Two and put up with me this whole time. It was stressful. The next season won't begin immediately after this one. I need some time to think of how to get this to run smoother before then... Another thank you to the judges for all of their hard work. Critiquing is not an easy task, especially when there were 12 people to write for the first time and so on. I appreciate your patience and dedication. Another thank you to Ego Imperium for the idea for this challenge; a special thanks to Tummer for stepping in at the last minute for judging, and a thank you to Chevalier for helping me out with the pin stuff, because making pins is hard. I would like to direct your attention to this thread. For any of the past contestants and judges, or anyone simply following the competition, please feel free to suggest things that you think would work better for future Role Play Idols. The Challenge For this challenge, we're going to be testing your mettle in the heat of the action. It's going to be some combat; for whatever reason, your characters have gotten caught up in a fight that's gotten physical. Their fists are doing all the talking. Why it's come as far as it has is completely up to the two of you. Whatever the case is/was, you're throwing punches and kicks at each other. Maybe you've martial experience, maybe you haven't. Try not to go too o revised with that. The setting for this little scuffle will be at the middle of a large and bustling shopping mall. Many people are, at this point, trying to evade the two of you as you pound your way through the shops and kiosks. For the moment, you only have your bodies as weapons, but as you go, you may pull something from a shelf to use to your advantage; bear in mind that you should limit this sort of selection to what would. Be typically found in a shopping mall. Odds are you won't find a good firearms store. A best, you'll stumble on a shop with swords and other weapons that are dull and meant for show. Remember, it's not just about saying that you won the fight. You will be expected to follow the rules of role playing as you engage one another. You will not be able to land every hit you attempt to make on your opponent. Likewise you will no be permitted to dodge everything that's thrown at you. Creativity and practicality will both be key to this challenge, being able to use unique strategies the are still believably viable will be a huge plus. You will have ten posts each, or until the time limit expires. You will be receiving your critiques before the winner is decided, and there is--of course, no voting this time around. Rules or restrictions for this Challenge. ♣ You may interact with each other. ♣ Remember that this is a competition. Try your best to impress me, and the judges. If you're not trying, it will be evident. ♣ Posts count, so be relevant. Please don't spam questions in this thread about this challenge, contact me personally. ♣ You have until JANUARY 19th (FINAL EXTENSION. WRAP IT UP. >:L) to post. Preferably before then. ♣ Be creative and have fun! It is a competition, but it's also about being creative, original and letting loose. ♣ Graphics are okay to use if you want them. But I'm not making them for anyone in this competition. And if you use them, you're not scoring any extra points with the judges. I've made it clear that graphics does not equal superior. ♣ Post your posts in this thread, below my post. ♣ Once you submit, that's your post. You can edit spelling errors and such, but please don't add more on. Only because it would be unfair to post, compare to everyone elses post and edit more in based off of what other people post. Please leave a reason if you do edit your post. ♣ You may use BOTH of your characters. Good luck to the both of you! :]
Rules/Guidelines; > You can do before and current, or just one of those. > Don't be a total jerk. Follow these rules as always.
Auld Lang Syne Stats. 2 out of 2 solos TAKEN. 2 out of 2 quartets TAKEN. 4 out of 4 duets TAKEN. Chorus CLOSED. Notes; ★ This is our New Years song, so feel the spirit! ★ Please don't take duets in a row. It would be awesome to have a new person singing on the duet part each time they pop up. In other words, I'd rather it not be "Jayn singing with Fuzzy" "Jayn singing with Heart" "Jayn singing with Ryan" ...etc. Variety is nice. xD Not all of it can be helped, but you know. ★ There is no original for this one, so you'll have to wing it. Sing in the tempo and pitch of the instrumental. I'll sing a reference later. The main song starts at 0:12. Google/Youtube Auld Lang Syne to listen to it sung. ★ I'll be reverting back to our normal pictures. Also, short and simple song. Not a lot of slots this time around. ★ Your lines are due BEFORE the listed date. BEFORE the 1st. I know that sign ups usually go quick, but please.

(Main thread) And the winner is... Actually, no one! We're just going to vote this round. Spectator and judge voting is encouraged, just be sure to leave a reason why. Feedback! Thank you all for your patience and I apologize for the wait. I will be on top of it from now on. The pin for RP Idol should be finished for this winner, so Season One and Two winner will receive their pins. What is this? While we have a winner (who is immune from this poll), we also need to eliminate someone. In this voting session, we'll vote off ONE person. The other two will battle in the last challenge. You're voting for who you think should stay, and you MUST post in this thread with a valid, detailed critique/reason WHY. There is no voting for yourself. I'll restate my original rule which is be fair about it. Please do not vote for your friends because they're your friends. Please refer to the sign ups thread for more information on voting. (Though, you should have read it already.) You are REQUIRED to vote. You are REQUIRED to read the other contestants posts. You are REQUIRED to give a reason why. If you're in the bottom (least amounts of votes), the judges and I will decide who stays and who goes. If you need extra help, the judges will be critiquing each role player in the main challenge thread. If you're just following the competition, but you've not entered in it as a contestant, you can vote too. But you're still required to follow the same rules and give a valid reason. If I feel your (or anyone elses) reason is not detailed enough, I will call you out on it. c: (You guys can do the same to me if I seem vague) Happy role playing. :]
I apologize for any mistakes. In my personal opinion, this one made me laugh a lot. x: Especially the end. Oh gosh, the end. Enjoy.

It Must Be Christmastime Stats. 11 out of 11 solos TAKEN. 8 out of 8 quartets TAKEN. Chorus CLOSED. Notes; ★ I don't have the instrumental yet, so sing with the song for now and I'll start mixing when I can. Slaughter. ;__; ★ Since this is a Christmas song, if you want to change your chorus picture, do so as soon as you post/reserve your lines. ★ Your lines are due BEFORE the listed date. BEFORE the 25th. I know that sign ups usually go quick, but please. If you have to drop out, drop out TWO DAYS prior at the latest. This is a new requirement. I'm tired of late minute drop outs. Please help me out by giving me enough time to work with your dropping out, if you must do so. What is this? It's just a collaboration type musical thingy with KHV members. Anyone can join. ANYONE. All you have to do is post the lines you want, record them, and send them to me on time. If you weren't in the previous choruses, I need you to find a picture for me to edit for you. High quality anime pictures can be found here: http://www.zerochan.net It doesn't have to be anime, it can be anything. It just has to be HIGH quality, and LARGE enough for me to work with. Not giant. But a nice size. Bigger than our avatars. I need a picture for future ones. Once you turn in a suitable picture, you'll never have to again unless you want to for future chorus stuff. So yeah, if you want to find another picture for me even if I have one, let me know. Otherwiseeee, for anyone who -hasn't- given me a picture yet at all, please do so. There are no auditions, no microphone restrictions. It doesn't matter if you think you're an amazing singer, or if your mic is fuzzy, all I ask if that you have fun with it and turn your parts in! The Song? Spoiler: Original Song [video=youtube;8_jr5Nf71sk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8_jr5Nf71sk#![/video] The first song in this, lolol. Spoiler: Instrumental http://www.box.com/s/5unzqtkcrxbuoc4lod5d How to Record. For those of you who aren't sure how to go about recording yourself singing it, there are several different programs you can use. Audacity is a free program. I use Reaper, which is also free for evaluation. What I'd like to ask if that you sing along with the instrumental/main track for timing, but your finished track not have the instrumental. For example, if you make two different tracks in a program, and record yourself singing on one track and have the instrumental on another track or playing on youtube or something while you sing your part, when you send it to me I would like to just hear your voice and not the instrumental. It is MUCH better for you to be too quiet than too loud. If you're quiet, I can turn your volume up. If you're too loud and your mic peaks, I have to turn your volume way dowwwn. You can sing along with the instrumental, and it's okay if the instrumental/main song is heard faintly in your recording, so long as it doesn't overpower you. For those of you who decide to use Reaper, I can show you a detailed tutorial on how to do it. Here's an Audacity tutorial written by P for Mulan, but whatever; Spoiler How to Use Audacity Getting the Stuff Go here and download the version for your computer. (Use the 1.3 series.) Install it in the manner appropriate for your OS. Go here to download and save the Mulan instrumental to somewhere on your computer. (Or whatever instrumental you may be using.) Opening the Instrumental Open Audacity. You'll should see this. Open the Mulan instrumental with Audacity. In a Mac, it's File>Open. Navigate to where you saved the Mulan instrumental, and open it. You should now see this. There are two tracks, for the two stereo tracks. Recording Open the Audacity preferences and look under the 'Recording' tab for the Overdub option. Make sure it is ticked, so you can hear the instrumental as you record. Mine looks like this, but yours may be slightly different. Press the red button up top. A new track will begin to record, as can be seen here Listen through the instrumental until you get to the part with the lines you need to sing, at which point, sing them. When the song is finished, press the yellow, square stop button. You should end up with something like this. Fixing Errors Of course, you'll probably screw up somewhere. That's why you can do it multiple times. Click mute on the mistake'd track, as in here. Next, click before the area where you made a mistake and press the record button. You can now sing the part again. When you're done, press the stop button. You'll end up with this. You can do this procedure as many times as needed, until all lines are correct on at least one track. Editing Now we have to delete everything except the lines you're gonna use. (You can now unmute any muted tracks.) We want to use the Split Delete tool. You do this by selecting the unwanted lines, as in here, and using Split Delete on it. On a Mac, the shortcut for it is Option+Command+K, but on a PC, at a guess, it would be Alt+Control+K. It will yield this result. Continue doing this until you've only got your lines left. Mine looks like this. Now we remove the instrumental track too, by pressing the X on the top-left of those two tracks. We're left with this. Sending to Jayn Now the hard work is done, we just need to export it. Go File>Export, and choose where to save the file. Make sure it is in WAV format. It'll look somewhat like this. Ignore this metadata thing that pops up. Just hit 'OK'. Likewise, hit OK on the Mono Channel warning. You're done! Now go and upload your file to some filehost, or email it to Jayn. Rules? Have fun! Send your lines to klairecross@gmail.com in MP3 or WAV format OR provide a download link for me in this thread, PM or VM. You may have FOUR parts (FOUR lines), and a maximum of FOUR people can sing one part together--EXCEPT for the lines in [brackets]. Those are solos, so only one person can claim those. This rule may be changed depending on how many people are interested. These Kawaii Desu things here --> { ♥ } <-- are for duets. Only TWO people can claim those. The lines in black should be recorded by everyone. First come first serve for lines, but the deadline is December 25th. That means turn in your lines BY then. The video goes up on that date. Once a line is striked out, it means it's not available anymore. Please RESERVE your lines before you record. You can post here with what lines (FOUR max, but not three solo parts) you want. I will update the thread with who's singing what part, and what lines are all reserved out. When you send your lines to me, you can either have your lines timed to the instrumental in ONE long file !TIMED TO THE INSTRUMENTAL!, or you can record all of your lines separately and send them to me that way in a ZIP or RAR file. Once again...TIME your vocals. Sing to the TIMING of the song. Sing to the song. Remember that I don't actually want to hear the song behind your vocals. If you sing along, wear headphones so your mic doesn't pick it up OR have the song really low while you record. If I hear it, the audience will too and that makes it sound bad. Please help fill out the song. If you have the time, please pick four parts. REMEMBER to record the BLACK LINES. Otherwise, when the chorus sings together, your voice will not be included. Anyone can sing the black lines, but I'm less likely to fit you into the video if the only thing you sang were the black lines. (When it's much harder to fit everyone in to begin with.) Lyrics/Parts: Black Lines = EVERYONE records that part. { ♥ } = Duets. TWO people can claim that part online. [ ... ] = Solos. ONE person can claim that. Only ONE solo per singer. This MAY change depending on how many people join.

All I Want for Christmas is You Stats. 13 out of 13 solos TAKEN. 3 out of 14 quartets Open. 8 out of 8 duets TAKEN. Chorus CLOSED. Notes; ★ Make sure your vocals match up to the instrumental version. ★ Have fun in this chorus. Sing it super seriously if you want, but otherwise have as much fun as you please. Feel free to laugh and ad-lib and all of that good stuff. I will include it. HAVE FUN. DO NOT FEEL PRESSURED TO SING THIS LIKE MARIAH, NO ONE WILL SUCCEED--*Shot* No but seriously, have as much fun with this as you possibly can. Don't take it too seriously! The only rule to this is please sing the lyrics in the way (the language) and timing (so you won't super clash with people singing seriously) they're supposed to be sung. If a note is too high for you, it's okay to give out or sing falsetto or mess up. We're having fun. You can sing in a silly voice, or be over-dramatic or whatever you want in that regard. :) ★ Since this is a Christmas song, if you want to change your chorus picture, do so as soon as you post/reserve your lines. ★ If you want to sing screamo or anything else that would be really disruptive, then try to nab a solo (or sign up with a duet partner who doesn't mind)! That way we don't drown anyone out, and you can still have fun with it. :D ★ Your lines are due BEFORE the listed date. BEFORE the 18th. I know that sign ups usually go quick, but please.

[COLOR="#d23838d"]Hey, hey. I had some problems with Vegas...and had to start completely over after some complications with lines. Either way, I hope you enjoy it. Originally, the original video was being all of our pictures, because I thought (like Ultimate Showdown), it would make more sense. But the Instrumental was off-time, so it didn't work out. Sorry. :C [video=youtube;NTM0BHFB3AY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTM0BHFB3AY[/video] Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves Scheherezad-ie had a thousand tales [Dr. Doctor, ~Ryan~, Maka] But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves You got a brand of magic never fails [~Ryan~, Maka, Jayn] You got some power in your corner now Some heavy ammunition in your camp [Jayn, Krowley, Andrew] You got some punch, pizazz, yahoo and how See all you gotta do is rub that lamp [Wigglz, What?, Krowley] [And I'll say]...[~Ryan~] Mister Aladdin, sir What will your pleasure be?

Be Prepared Stats. 5 out of 5 solos TAKEN. 16 out of 16 quartets TAKEN. Chorus CLOSED. What is this? As I type this, Friend Like Me is rendering in Vegas. It will be up today, I just want to get this out so we can start the Christmas stuff! Also, I usually don't claim lines until most of them are taken, but I doubt Fuzzy and I will have time to do it later, so sorry. ;~; It's just a collaboration type musical thingy with KHV members. Anyone can join. ANYONE. All you have to do is post the lines you want, record them, and send them to me on time. If you weren't in the previous choruses, I need you to find a picture for me to edit for you. High quality anime pictures can be found here: http://www.zerochan.net It doesn't have to be anime, it can be anything. It just has to be HIGH quality, and LARGE enough for me to work with. Not giant. But a nice size. Bigger than our avatars. I need a picture for future ones. Once you turn in a suitable picture, you'll never have to again unless you want to for future chorus stuff. So yeah, if you want to find another picture for me even if I have one, let me know. Otherwiseeee, for anyone who -hasn't- given me a picture yet at all, please do so. There are no auditions, no microphone restrictions. It doesn't matter if you think you're an amazing singer, or if your mic is fuzzy, all I ask if that you have fun with it and turn your parts in! The Song. Spoiler: original song [video=youtube;Q2MvuZXwt9o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2MvuZXwt9o[/video] Spoiler: Instrumental [video=youtube;BUvdCKlE8v8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUvdCKlE8v8[/video] How to record. For those of you who aren't sure how to go about recording yourself singing it, there are several different programs you can use. Audacity is a free program. I use Reaper, which is also free for evaluation. What I'd like to ask if that you sing along with the instrumental/main track for timing, but your finished track not have the instrumental. For example, if you make two different tracks in a program, and record yourself singing on one track and have the instrumental on another track or playing on youtube or something while you sing your part, when you send it to me I would like to just hear your voice and not the instrumental. It is MUCH better for you to be too quiet than too loud. If you're quiet, I can turn your volume up. If you're too loud and your mic peaks, I have to turn your volume way dowwwn. You can sing along with the instrumental, and it's okay if the instrumental/main song is heard faintly in your recording, so long as it doesn't overpower you. For those of you who decide to use Reaper, I can show you a detailed tutorial on how to do it. Here's an Audacity tutorial written by P for Mulan, but whatever; Spoiler How to Use Audacity Getting the Stuff Go here and download the version for your computer. (Use the 1.3 series.) Install it in the manner appropriate for your OS. Go here to download and save the Mulan instrumental to somewhere on your computer. (Or whatever instrumental you may be using.) Opening the Instrumental Open Audacity. You'll should see this. Open the Mulan instrumental with Audacity. In a Mac, it's File>Open. Navigate to where you saved the Mulan instrumental, and open it. You should now see this. There are two tracks, for the two stereo tracks. Recording Open the Audacity preferences and look under the 'Recording' tab for the Overdub option. Make sure it is ticked, so you can hear the instrumental as you record. Mine looks like this, but yours may be slightly different. Press the red button up top. A new track will begin to record, as can be seen here Listen through the instrumental until you get to the part with the lines you need to sing, at which point, sing them. When the song is finished, press the yellow, square stop button. You should end up with something like this. Fixing Errors Of course, you'll probably screw up somewhere. That's why you can do it multiple times. Click mute on the mistake'd track, as in here. Next, click before the area where you made a mistake and press the record button. You can now sing the part again. When you're done, press the stop button. You'll end up with this. You can do this procedure as many times as needed, until all lines are correct on at least one track. Editing Now we have to delete everything except the lines you're gonna use. (You can now unmute any muted tracks.) We want to use the Split Delete tool. You do this by selecting the unwanted lines, as in here, and using Split Delete on it. On a Mac, the shortcut for it is Option+Command+K, but on a PC, at a guess, it would be Alt+Control+K. It will yield this result. Continue doing this until you've only got your lines left. Mine looks like this. Now we remove the instrumental track too, by pressing the X on the top-left of those two tracks. We're left with this. Sending to Jayn Now the hard work is done, we just need to export it. Go File>Export, and choose where to save the file. Make sure it is in WAV format. It'll look somewhat like this. Ignore this metadata thing that pops up. Just hit 'OK'. Likewise, hit OK on the Mono Channel warning. You're done! Now go and upload your file to some filehost, or email it to Jayn. Rules? Have fun! Send your lines to klairecross@gmail.com in MP3 or WAV format OR provide a download link for me in this thread, PM or VM. You may have FOUR parts (FOUR lines), and a maximum of FOUR people can sing one part together--EXCEPT for the lines in [brackets]. Those are solos, so only one person can claim those. This rule may be changed depending on how many people are interested. There are a lot of parts, to give people more opportunity to join. These Kawaii Desu things here --> { ♥ } <-- are for duets. Only TWO people can claim those. The lines in black should be recorded by everyone. First come first serve for lines, but the deadline is December 11th.. That means turn in your lines BY then. The video goes up on that date. Once a line is striked out, it means it's not available anymore. Please RESERVE your lines before you record. You can post here with what lines (FOUR max, but not three solo parts) you want. I will update the thread with who's singing what part, and what lines are all reserved out. When you send your lines to me, you can either have your lines timed to the instrumental in ONE long file !TIMED TO THE INSTRUMENTAL!, or you can record all of your lines separately and send them to me that way in a ZIP or RAR file. Once again...TIME your vocals. Sing to the TIMING of the song. Sing to the song. Remember that I don't actually want to hear the song behind your vocals. If you sing along, wear headphones so your mic doesn't pick it up OR have the song really low while you record. If I hear it, the audience will too and that makes it sound bad. Please help fill out the song. If you have the time, please pick four parts. REMEMBER to record the BLACK LINES. Otherwise, when the chorus sings together, your voice will not be included. Anyone can sing the black lines, but I'm less likely to fit you into the video if the only thing you sang were the black lines. (When it's much harder to fit everyone in to begin with.) HAVE FUN, OMG HAVE FUN. Some of you guys constantly sound totally bored. xD Cast List Scar Cast to: DarkTraitor Spoiler Banzai Cast to: Kisala Spoiler Shenzi Cast To: Maka Spoiler For the above, I'm only casting one person for the role of each. You'll have to voice act. I won't hold auditions, because I feel that'll ruin the point of this chorus. First come, first serve. Please DO NOT drop out if you pick one of the roles. I will PM those of you who claim them with more details. THE SPOKEN LINES DO NO COUNT AS REGULAR SINGING LINES. You can claim four lines AND have a speaking part. Lyrics/Parts: Black Lines = EVERYONE records that part. { ♥ } = Duets. TWO people can claim that part online. [ ... ] = Solos. ONE person can claim that. Only ONE solo per singer. This MAY change depending on how many people join. [Center/ Italic] = SPOKEN. Voice acting. :C I know that your powers of retention Are as wet as a warthog's backside [Jayn, Kisala, DarkTraitor, Ryan] But thick as you are, pay attention My words are a matter of pride [Maka, Mish, Feenie, Forsaken] It's clear from your vacant expressions The lights are not all on upstairs [Fuzzy, Kisala, Feenie, Midnight Star] But we're talking kings and successions Even you can't be caught unawares [Maka, Cookiie, Feenie, Forsaken] So prepare for a chance of a lifetime Be prepared for sensational news [Jayn, Krowley, What?, Nemesis] A shining new era Is tiptoeing nearer [Fuzzy, Kisala, Cookiie, Fearless] [And where do we feature?] [Mish] [Just listen to teacher.] [Nemesis] I know it sounds sordid But you'll be rewarded [DarkTraitor, Mish, Fearless, Old Sage] When at last I am given my dues And injustice deliciously squared [DarkTraitor, Ryan, Feenie, Old Sage] Be prepared! [Banzai:] Yeah, Be prepared. Yeah-heh... we'll be prepared, heh. ...For what? [Scar:] For the death of the king. [Banzai:] Why? Is he sick? [Scar:] No, fool-- we're going to kill him. And Simba too. [Shenzi:] Great idea! Who needs a king? [Shenzi (and then Banzai):] No king! No king! la--la-la--la-laa-laa! [Scar:] Idiots! There will be a king! [Banzai:] Hey, but you said, uh... [Scar:] I will be king! ...Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again! [Shenzi and Banzai:] Yaay! All right! Long live the king! [All Hyenas:] (For this line, ANYONE can send it it. You don't have to claim a voice acting part. Long live the king! Long live the king! It's great that we'll soon be connected. With a king who'll be all-time adored. [Kisala, Forsaken, Midnight Star, Excasr] Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected To take certain duties on board [Fuzzy, Andrew, Forsaken, Old Sage] The future is littered with prizes And though I'm the main addressee [Cookiie, Mish, Midnight, Old Sage] The point that I must emphasize is You won't get a sniff without me! [Jayn, Maka, Andrew, Nemesis] [So prepare for the coup of the century] [Fearless/COLOR]] [Be prepared for the murkiest scam] [Krowley] Meticulous planning (We'll have food!) Tenacity spanning (Lots of food) [Jayn, Maka, Andrew, Fearless] Decades of denial (We repeat) Is simply why I'll (Endless meat) [DarkTraitor, Krowley, What?, Ryan] Be king undisputed Respected, saluted [Jayn, Andrew, Krowley, What?] [And seen for the wonder I am.] [Fuzzy] Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared! [What?, Cookiie, Nemesis, Ryan] Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared! *The white lines in parenthesizes you don't have to do, if you're singing in that part. Please specify the color of the part you pick. (IF there's more than one somehow.) READ THE RULES. Also, like I said, I might let people have more than one solo depending on the popularity of this chorus. If the solos aren't filled up, I'll allow us to have more than one.

[COLOR="#d23838d"]I've been sort of busy lately, so I wanted to apologize to KHV Chorus (the video is pretty much done, I'll still post it soon), RP Idol (as usual), role plays, the people I've been Visitor Messaging...And Truth or Dare. xD; I'll be spending a lot of my time with Fuzzy Blue Lights, as some of you know. I wasn't sure if I would be spending a lot of time away from the Internet, but I guess so. He'll be here for over a month, so I'm sure the "I MUST SPEND EVERY SECOND WITH YOU" will fade after a couple of weeks and my activity will increase again. For now though, one more apology and I hope to be back and active soon. I will post when I can, and if you really need me, just VM spam me or ask Plums (kukuku) to contact Fuzzy for you. c: I will still check KHV daily, you'll still see me around. Just not as often. I'll miss youuuu.[/COLOR]
Reaction/Emotion Welcome! FireKeyBlade and FuzzyBlue left us last round. Your new judges for Season Two will be the Tummer, Ego Imperium, Amaimon and ~Ryan~. For any of you concerned with biased or unfair judging, SOME of my rules and regulations for them specifically can be found in the spoiler tag. Any unfair treatment will result in the forced resignation of said judge, no exceptions. They've all agreed to the below. Spoiler: Judging guidelines Being a judge in itself can sound pretty liberating. But it's really not all fun and games. I have quite a few things to let you guys know, but we'll keep it as simple as possible for now. Obviously, this group was made for a reason. To share information and discuss things together between ourselves. You four are the judges. Keep in mind this makes your opinions influence the other members, and also puts you in a position of responsibility. You are to be f a i r. When you judge others posts, it has nothing to do with who they are, or if you like them, their literacy, if you've seen them before, how often they role play, blah. I mean, when you really judge them, it's unbiased. You are to be h u m b l e. Being in any kind of position of power might boost your ego more so than it may already be boosted. Just make sure you realize we're all just members here. Respect each other. It is important not to discourage anyone, or make them feel like they're unimportant, unworthy, or anything negative. Please use caution and think before you hit 'submit'. You are to be l a w f u l. The next thing I'll cover are some basic guidelines. Rather, areas you'll actually be judging. [...CONT'D ELSEWHERE] The Challenge We're back to individual posts for now. For this challenge, Beyond Birthday has suggested we do a reaction challenge. This means that you will be reacting to something that has happened to your role play character. She also suggested this have something to do with a dream. So in this scenario, you have signed up for a role play that is kind of like inception. Lol. You have been recruited into an organization that allows you to be put to sleep and enter a dream-world. This world is immensely dangerous, with demon-like creatures roaming free and looking for trouble, winding roads leading into oblivion and all this other creepy dream stuff. In this world, you can bring items into existence. Meaning, if you want a sword in front of you, you can wield one. Or ice cream. Anything, 'tis only a dream. However, in this dream, you can die and die in reality. What you're reacting to is the fact that you've been recruited into this. You can engage in battle, if you'd like. Or simple try to go meet up with the others in this world (you won't actually interact with anyone, and you don't know who else is there). Before this, you were sort of ordinary. Anyway, this isn't an average day for you and it's your first time going. Use your imagination. Remember, this is still a 'role play' post. Not a mini story. Rules or restrictions for this Challenge. ♣ Remember that this is a competition. Try your best to impress me, and the judges. If you're not trying, it will be evident. ♣ Don't interact with the other members this time around. ♣ Posts count, so be relevant. Please don't spam questions in this thread about this challenge, contact me personally. ♣ You have until NOVEMBER 28TH, 2011 to post. Preferably before then, because we want as much time as possible for the judging process. <: If you do not make that deadline, you are disqualified. ♣ Be creative and have fun! It is a competition, but it's also about being creative, original and letting loose. ♣ Graphics are okay to use if you want them. But I'm not making them for anyone in this competition. If you use them, you're not scoring any extra points with the judges. I've made it clear that graphics does not equal superior. ♣ Post your posts in this thread, below my post. ♣ You may have powers or weapons. ♣ Once you submit, that's your post. You can edit spelling errors and such, but please don't add more on. Only because it would be unfair to post, compare to everyone else's post and edit more in based off of what other people post. ♣ If you edit your post, leave a reason why. Members who have yet to post... P - Faust [m] + KHV-tan [f] Britishism - Tobias [m] + Jen [f] Midnight Star - Iona [f] + Ryan [m] Ace - Chyeze [m] + Ruby [f] Maka - Nikki [f] + Corey [m] Happy role playing. :]
