THE PERSONAL TOUCH.

 

In this day there are so many companies who do not give the personal approach.  Only recently have we had building work done at our house and the mess that was left, doors left open, lights left on and at the end half done.

The personal touch is what makes us stand out from the rest and that is one thing we are very serious about.  If we can do something to make that personal touch we will do so.

 

Well when we do a karaoke we always say that if it were our party we would expect………

 

If it was a party for one of our close family members what would we like…..

 

Before we started doing karaoke’s we used to go to karaoke’s ran by other peopel.  We saw many things we liked and many things we did not.  Back then not one karaoke played music in between singers while the next singer was being set up.  It was just a karaoke and when someone was not singing there was silence or talking.  We noticed that silence was boring and some of the chat was not nice to people who had sang and noticed a lot of people got bored with the chat so we were the first around here who put music between singers to keep the atmosphere going.  We also try to keep the music between singers to the same tempo so there is a steady flow.  Last thing you want is a rock track between two love songs or vice versa.

 

Most of the time we run the show for you from start to finish.  However we have done private parties where there is a bit of a comedian in the family and a request was if they could compare the show.  In this situation we set the system up as much out of the way as possible and we communicate with the person hosting the show through the singers TV so all they have to do is get all the information off the screen on who is singing next.  We can also put any other information up on there too for them.  This gives a full personal touch to the party we can also use other systems for this.

 

We put a lot more into the karaoke then a lot of other karaoke’s and we pride ourselves on that.  We have a fair system where everyone gets their turn to sing.

 

We urge people to tell us about the reason for the party just in case there is anything we can do to make it special the more information we have the more ideas we can come up with.

 

We did a Karaoke for Amanda and Alex.  Alex was currently serving in Afghanistan at the time it was Amanda’s Surprise Birthday Party.  When we were asking Amanda’s parents Dave and Susan if we should know about anything else they mentioned that Alex had got leave and that he would be making a Surprise visit.  He was just going to walk in at some point and we thought that there must be some better way we could do it.  After a chat with the venue and Amanda’s parents this is what we came up with…

 

… Amanda walked into the room with everyone clapping and cheering.  She is overwhelmed by a surprise party.  Once she has settled she was asked to come up to the karaoke as we had a special Surprise.  We gave her a microphone that had a delay set up on it and told her to watch the screen.  We flicked a switch on and there was Alex, her fiancé in uniform in Afghanistan….. Well sort of.  He was really just standing behind a curtain and there was a background picture behind him.  We told her she was able to speak to him and she did on the microphone.  There was a delay of her talking very quiet in the background so it actually sounded like he was many miles away.  We had a cable with a purposely broken connection that was being messed with by someone else that made the picture go off and on and all fuzzy.  We then told her that we could not keep the connection any longer and she was to say bye.  There was an emotional goodbye from her and before he had chance to say bye we cut the signal at which point we took the mic off her as someone opened the curtains and she just stood there and saw him.  This was an emotional time for everyone there.  We as a karaoke did not really do anything as the family had organised him coming back.  However we made it a little more special by the way the entrance was made.

 

We had a regular venue at a venue that had a function room upstairs.  We were doing a public karaoke downstairs when a guy came downstairs to the manager of the venue and told her that their entertainment had let them down.  It was confusing and a hard job but we managed to run two different rooms using the same system with the backup system.  This meant that what ever was played on drive 1 went public downstairs and what ever was played on CD drive two went upstairs to the wedding with a link using a radio mic on what to play up there and requests.

 

We have done regular venues where we have had a speaker in each room and we played 60’s to the one room and chart to the other room between singers.  This means that although both rooms could hear the singer there was different music played between singers.  This we did to help out the venue but something we do not make a habit of doing as it is hard work and a chargeable extra. 

 

So when you come to us a book us, please tell us as much as you can even if you think it is not worth talking about.  Even if we can put a poster up or just so we know who the party is for.

 

The more we know the more ideas we can try to come up with.
