The Acapella Collab! (Revamped) 2011-01-15 21:48:26


Last year, Twilight attempted to put together an awesome audio collab that brought together vocalists of all sorts for one common purpose: Sing their fucking lungs out. Sadly, not enough people pitched in, and the project mysteriously disappeared. This year, though, I'm bringing it back (with the approval of Twilight, of course) and it's gonna kick some serious ass.

Now, if you're a complete dumbass, you might be asking yourself, "What is this acapella thing that this guy's talking about?" Well, it's essentially the process of creating a song with no instruments, no synths, no autotune,

Final Destination.

None of that garbage! Just pure vocals is the name of the game here. For some examples, see below:

But where the hell do you guys fit in among all of this madness? Well, if you're interested in working with a group of other people on acapella-ing a song, be it original or a cover of an existing one, just sign up right here! After a good amount of people are signed up, I'll break you all up into groups, slap on a deadline, and let you decide amongst yourselves what song you're going to pick, how you're going to go about doing it, etc.

So don't be shy, sign up today!

I'm pretty sure that tetris acapella has auto-tune.

If I'm wrong then I'm wrong...

Derp, you get the idea.

Yeah, I'm working on getting some proper judges this time around and if we can't get any NG sponsored prizes I'll come out of pocket for the winners and runnerups.

Sweet! Thanks, that'll really help out with participation, I'm sure.

I'll gladly take part.
I actually just posted a little acoustic diddly I made up and sung to.

I'm pretty suited for bass, and I have a few good song ideas as well.

Response to The Acapella Collab! (Revamped) 2011-01-19 04:01:24


I'll try to come up with something.

Come on, go ahead and join! Doesn't matter if you can hit notes like an opera singer or miss pitches like a teenage girl covering songs on Youtube, anyone's fair game!

I'm going to do a three part acapella that will blow your MIND!

Response to The Acapella Collab! (Revamped) 2011-01-22 06:41:38


I'm a HUGE acapella nerd, and would LOVE to participate, but I haven't a clue how. Hope there aren't any requirements for this!

...Especially not my account being active in the past...three years or so...But I happened to see this thread, and I had a small nerdgasm. I'd love to be a part of this!

Just got a new mic, so I'm in if that's okay. I love acapella, I've done it before but with crappy mics.

Definitely! Also, at the guy who went and did an acapella, that's great, but this is called the Acapella Collab for a reason.

And hey! We've got 13 people! 7 to go until we can start this thing up.

I can beatbox.. I will soon be investing in a quality mic soon, and I would be happy to help if anyone needs some acapella percussion.

Well, once we have enough people to form the groups, I'll be pretty glad.
This seems like a pretty fun idea.
