This gets my vote

I too am a seasoned "bedroom performer" (so to speak...hehehe...  :-*  ) so this'd be a good outlet. But also useful for some critique on how you perform live!

How'd this work, logisitcally? We have one thread where we post the links? A new sub forum, what?

Everything is easier said than done.

Except talking.

That's about the same.

Haha bedroom performer, very good  :D

I think, if we had a thread set up in The Bar entitled 'Open Mic - next on stage' or something similar, we could use that to discuss and announce who will 'perform' and when (their video will be available)

As each act 'steps up' (maybe every other Friday) they can each launch their own thread (also in the bar) which could include a little introduction, any requests for feedback etc, and of course, the YouTube link to the video. That way, each performer will be able to get audience comments as people watch during the following two weeks until the next performer 'steps up'.

Any other thoughts/ideas?

We need a forum calendar, that tells people when and who is performing, it would also be good for competition deadlines, etc :)

This is a brilliant idea - why didn't someone think of it before? I'm definitely up for it - I've sorted out how to record myself with my camera and how to upload to my YouTube account so I'm rarin' to go. This Friday is a bit soon though; I'm sure someone else would like to go first but put me on the list who ever is organising the thread. Off to choose which songs to do and start practicing  :o

@Jess, that's an excellent idea, I'll look into it :)

@Monty, if we can't get anyone in for this Friday, do you want to go next Friday? We can start it fortnightly from then if so. It'd be great to get someone 'booked in' :)
