One small tip for listening, you must let the lever go all the way from one side to the other - then it's completely downloaded and it wont skip your voice out
MESSAGE FROM VONNIE:
We've had a ball, at least I hope that's what it was hmmm - listening, laughing, near to teas with some, enthralled by others but we both agree it's been a terrific contest and realy brought some of you out of your comfort zones. I didn't really mess myself - that was a breeze coming all the way from Ontario -so don't listen to Gal
thanks everyone - it's been fun! VonnieContest is Over

I can't sing so I definately will skip this one cause I really don't want people to think bad or sad things about me
good luck to all who enter! -
thanks leander - i should add an example - your voice cant be worse then mine
Come on, give it a try - i wont laugh, i promise 
-
well, it's hard to believe you wont laugh
really, my voice is like the sound of a big fat fly humming around a bottle when I talk normally, so if I sing, I think I might trigger an earthquake then
and there are those billion other people on here who didn't promise not to laugh
-
Rest assured when i promise not to laugh i will not laugh leander - honest
If i feel the slight urge to giggle, why, i'll slap myself silly, really really hard across my face..k?
-
hmm, okey, sounds fair... is that with your hands or with a huge bat that has rusty nails in it that you'll slap yourself?
-
besides, I wouldn't know how to even compose things to sing my poem
it'd be total crap 
lol
-
A huge roll of salami right across my face with those hard pepper corns - thats sore! and that will shirley stop any grins or giggles. It's not a problem for me to get serious leander...that's one of the things you dont know about me. I'm too serious at times - try tickling me and i swear i wont even crack a grin. If i see someone slip on a banana peel - i dont laugh...i rush over full of serious concern asking if they are all right.
To compose it is very easy..just sit in front of your mic with the poem of your choice - and sing your poem to any old tune. I love the spontaneous made up tunes. Go for it...
Edited on Apr 24, 8:58 because ''. -
lmao I'll see and if I do so, I'll take a short poem
ooh, so it can be an existing tune eh
Let's go satire with Abba then
-
Sure an Abba tune would be great! I love Abba! Thanks cutie pie
-
I hope I'll find something that fits the tune of dancing queen (if I ever dare to do this mission
)
-
Im with leander on this. The only kind of 'singing' I do is in my shower....that and I sound primorally dead over microphone
Rae -
Awesome contest...but i actually have a really bad singing voice arghhhhhhh! Noooooooo
darn it! this is an aweosme idea Gal!
Fern
-
Ok..i will just be happy to have it recited but it must be recited with expression ...in a lilting voice Sheesh ...not being able to sing never stopped me
-
oooooooooooooh so i can just speak it? and maybe add a funny voice? HEHEHE i quite like that idea...
-
Yes, i have added a note to my contest page ..it can be spoken but be expressive and silly if you want.
-
Ayizan,you may recite your poem - since so many poet's cannot sing ..i have added that to my contest page Looking forward to hearing from you
-
A great idea! Hope you get what you are looking for.
-
What a great contest idea! Thanks for your comment on Elsie the Borden Cow too. I will definitely enter this.
-
This sounds like a very fun contest... I don't know if I dare enter, but ... maybe..... and if I do, you're stuck with my bad singing voice...lol
And hey, I have some junk drawer stuff too, in case you run short
Good luck with this, gal.... dang, you're such a fun person ..I'm not a bit surprised that you came up with this kind of contest. I can hardly wait to read and hear the entries.

-
Like many others I cant sing but I have a song recorded at home that my son made, can I enter that, hey I'm a proud mum lol
-
I def. want to enter this, only not singing lol, maybe I can get my friend too loll. Hmm now what to write....
-
I might do this... I'd have to do it when nobody's home. I would sing it, but I'm not exactly that confident with my singing... I don't think I sing very good. But wait... do we submit a video or audio? If I don't enter, good luck, and it's going to be VERY interesting to heat all the entires.
-
Hey sis I like that baby elephant pin lol..
So I got to sing huh to one of my poems??
That means people got here it for real my voice

I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. It is a tempting thought though. Good luck with your contest.

All those once-in-a-lifetime prizes - it must be hard sooooo hard to resist - C'mon people, best tonsil forward!
Vonnie -
ok question..?? I can well, I do have like a camera I can record actuall reality of people and them talkin.. right..ok so like if i did this on mine right.. i could then just transfer it to here?? am not to great with stuff like this at all..

I am gonna go now byes PJ's ps. have not done it yet..... but will gear my self esteem up to do it if i can get my hands to coordinate with my feet
-
oh never the mind i see what you were saying I need like a gallon of coffee this morning hahahahaha.. Pj's
-
Hiya...I look forward to your entry and feel free to include family members No background music needed though I want to keep everyone at the same level since there are those who are more experienced in adding sound effects and such. This way everyone is at the same level...words and voice
Thanks for checking this out
-
I have added an example of my um, singing to the contest page at the bottom for those who are shy or afraid of making a fool of themselves ..not to worry, it's not fatal - i'm proof of that I will be adding Vonnie's example too - sure hope we can motivate more entries
-
I'm laughing so hard, I'm choking. "logic blew a seal" indeed. I gotta go blow my nose now.
I really could use a band-aid, I might have to try this out.
Edited on Apr 25, 10:57 because ''. -
LOL! Like your sense of humor here. I don't know why, but I like the cow hand. What does that say about me? Don't answer.
Tempting. Very tempting. And closing on May 30? Oooh! So much time to make a fool out of myself.
Great idea, this contest. It's pretty original.
-
I'll warn ya. I've dedicated all my poetry to God, and some of it is pretty funny. I mean, c'mon! A donkey talking to a man? And that's not the funny part; he ends up answering the donkey.
If that isn't funny, I don't know what is...
How 'bout this? Delilah asks Samson where his strength comes from. Why? Didn't he have muscles? Or is it possible he looked something like Woody Allen? Imagine that, -
Hey, dont use all your material in your comments Save it for your audio - now go stand in front of your mirror and Hee- Haw ..if that doesnt make you feel like a jackass or jackbunny since you have your filter on..i dont know what will... thanks for all the im laughs...loved it Now go record something....i mean it, off with you now
-
i noticed it closes the day before my birthday!! omg!!! I am working on it S got the putt putt thing,and gettking to my other I am doing this!!.. no promise that i am up for a grammy but eh?? who knows maybe the lil old guy who sang She Bangs She Bangs will discover me hahahaha.. bye it will be like about umm.. 5 days or so okies..
-
nevermind my friend showed me how to get it on.. yay!! hahaha. whoot whoot!!. Pj's
-
What a original and creative contest! You have put a lot of thought into this and I hope that you will get many poets giving it a try. I haven't the capacity to be able to participate, but I will be visiting back to enjoy the submissions. Kudos and good luck with your contest
-
man, i wish I had a way to make an audio, I recently won a contest at my school for reciting one of my poems.
-
these prizes are funny. my mom would think this is a great idea how to clean my room of my stuff if she was on ap.
-
So your looking for HUMOR, right?
-
Preferably Yes please!!! but it is also under the 'other' category too - as long as you enjoy yourself.
Vonnie
Edited on Apr 26, 2:30 because ''. -
Actually I have the contest posted as Humour or Other...so you can record humour or serious...i really just want to hear whatever you record with song or expression - vonnie didnt know, she's always the last to know BTW Vonnie - I loved your example
-
uh...I got carried away a little?
-
I loved that you got carried away...WOW Thank you
-
Runs around aimlessly
I want the band aid!!!!!!!!!
I want the band aid!!!!!!!!!
Give me the band aid!!!!!!!!!
Give me the band aid!!!!!!!!!
OK, I’ll stop now.
-
John you know very well if you wish to win that band-aid you'll have to sing for it or in the very least recite. I couldnt very well just give it to you. Come on now John .. there are others that want that band-aid too..it wouldnt be fair. So clear your throat, grab hold of your zebra and start singing
thanks for checking this out
-
For Rufina hahahahaa,, is Gal like singing to you today hahaha. I think along with her great smile and funny ass words she is awesome.. nana.. as does .. Rufina .....that's cool this was so nerve racking I hope you both know this!!!now I am discovered !! blah!! haha this applause is for Rufina have some more coffee or tea, sit by the fire and think of booties bye
-
What a hoot! Listening to the samples and the entries so far has truly raised the bar. Me thinks I'll have to do a raunchy rendition of Frogging Went a Courtin' for my voice to sound even remotely appropriate.
-
LOL..Jane you do realise you have committed yourself..why that's practically a promise .. Gal's taps her toes on the fiddle and croaks along... a one and a two and a three...hit it Jane!
VERSE 1
Froggy went a courting, he did ride, uh-hu
Froggy went a courting, he did ride
Sword and a pistol by his side, uh-hu
VERSE 2
He rode till he came to masters hall, uh-hu
He rode till he came to masters hall
There he did both knock and call, uh-hu
I cant wait....thanks Jane!
Oh wait..it must be one of your own poems...ok, select one and do it in the Froggy tune
-
runs in real fast hits John over the head, and drags him to umm. ok I am stumped hahah guess we will have to borrow a Band-Aid from a certain person...lol swoops away into the night Pj's
-
hahaha yeah you did!! by the horsey!!!! Pj's
-
I entered in my second peice. You didnt say how many we could enter...is there a limit?
-
Hiya Takayuki ...you can enter as many as you want Within reason - 5 or 6 each from everyone is fine by me Thanks for entering ..i must give yours a listen
-
Well butter my bisquits and spank me happy! Your contest came up on my page!!!!! Wow...this looks so cool. Damn the sound on my machine. Look at all the entries!! Ohhhhhhh....looks like so much fun.The prizes, are just so cool......oh I gotta get this fixed, I can't decide now....the world cup key chain or the stanley cup pin! Okay....let me go see if I can do this. Gal, you've got your work cut out for you. But this is one time that I think I wouldn't mind judging a contest. Looks like so much fun!
~Michelle~
-
Well look who found her way here cuz i happened to show up on her page Gee thanks Michelle! If i had half a mind i'd kick you in the pants - but then again you'd probably turn it into a spanking with my foot and enjoy it way tooo much. Look forward to your entry - if you can find your way back here that is. Feel free to ask for directions or a link...ok?
Thanks for checking this out
-
Ahh...well....only if the foot has a rubber chicken extention included for cushioning. Wouldn't want to leave marks I was coming here in the morning like I promised, when I saw you name finally up on my page I got excited. Maybe with all the work they did on the site they may have inadvertanly fixed some glitches. As I always had to type your name in. So glad to see such a great turn out! Now to get my sound fixed so I can join in on the fun... gosh I feel soooooooooooooooooooo left out!!!!!!
-
Very cool idea! I might have a go at this. I'm the opposite to everyone else - I can sing, but I can't recite! So I'd be one who would do the singing option. I'll have a look at my stuff and see what one I could sing. Could we add the audio link to a prewrite, or do you want a new post with just the link in it?
-
Hiya Feel free to add a link to a prewrite ...we want both word and link Yes, we're greedy - now go warm up your singing thingie in your throat is make us tap our toes
We await your entry with baited breath
-
I'm not going to enter this, but I love the idea of it. Just wanted to give applause for being original. I think if more people had the chance to listen to themselves read their own work, a lot of the writing posted on this site would be MUCH better.
Nice contest. Good luck w. your entries. -
But I wanted the band aid………………….. No one better ask for it, or I am going to crack some skulls.
Congratulations to the winners. I was able to read/listen to a lot of them and I think that the right choices were made.
John
-
LMAO..oh John you know we love you Thanks for making this such a fun contest for us!
-
Congratulatons to everyone! This was an awesome contest! I loved all the entries i listened to, they were ace! The trophy winners well deserved
Fern
-
Wow! Thank you so much -- this was a lot of fun to get to hear some folks...
-
neenerneenerneener
I soooo got the band aid
thank you so much for seeing my entry trophy worthy the buzzing of a big fat fly can be lucrative
-
holds whip in hand, tauntingly
Oh really? Hmmmm………..I guess no whips for you then. And everyone probably thought just the opposite was going to happen, didn’t you. Sickos. LOL
-
ooh noooooooo
but I need this whip to do a proper job
-
I will give you a sound spanking with my rubber chicken and talk dirty in your ear while doing it...bawk, oh you like it hard eh...bawk bawk, oh you've been a naughty boy have you...bawk bawk bawk
-
I swear on the booby prize and all other things holy this was the funnestest contest of all. Not only did it make me put myself through much masochistic agony, but I also got the sadistic pleasure of making others listen to my croaking attempt.
I'm proud to be in the company of such wonderful idiots and fools. May we long hold the banner of silliness high!!!!
Vonnie, I'm sending you a coupon good for ten free counseling sessions to help you recover from this whole experience. Gal is way past help so I shall only send her my smiles and hugs.
MWAH!!!! -
Thanks Gal,
For the trophy and the points and the challenge. I probably would have never had the nerve to expose a voice like this one without your patience prodding.
Sincerely,
Leo Long -
Dear Jane, It's not counselling I need it's earplugs I've been listening to myself too remember. this contest really has been such fun and it's lovely to see people who we never thought would put their best voice forward and enter. Gal and I have had so many laughs over hearing ourselves sing - we did a duet too but that's not for publication, the reason being it was crap but funny
So glad you enjoyed yourself too Jane and so many others obviously did too.
Vonnie
-
Congratulations to all the winners... this sure looked like fun.
-
duh....i'm sorry. i hit the wrong button.. I was going to write you to say that i would back you up if anyone asks for the bandaid, that i would sneak into their houses and steal it back for you...and i just realized i hit your reply first.. oh geeze okay...really..i'm not blonde...I swear..
-
uh.....so would this come under the classification of "bloopers?"
-
Have you run amok on my contest page? You'd just better make sure you have sound and a mic for my next contest Now go them ..right now
-
Dang! Missed it! Ah well, maybe next time.
