Songbird Ocarina Holiday Contest: December 1st - 31st!

[SlythR45]

THE 7TH WAS MY BDAY : D

[DRCification]

I noticed my voice starts to sound just like Davids whenever I play the ocarina for a while.

[NissleJissleJ95]

I just like him :)

Oh yeah and could you please make a video where you just show at songbird how you make an ocarina. there are many makings of ocarinas on youtube, but theres none of you, i would really love to watch it =)

[NissleJissleJ95]

I really like him :)

[slammusaran]

HEY! Sorry, I accidentally attached one of my entries [Rudolph] to another video. I re-attached it, so please don't discard it! :) Thanks!

[WinonaFlammery]

Question: Can we post more than one video response, if we play several different songs?

[vergalis1103silagrev]

can i play a song that you released over a day ago

[songbirdocarinas]

@vergalis1103silagrev You can play any of the songs we have released this month.

[MrMamaluigi13]

sorry im trying to post a response but i dont see it so i tryed with other 2 vids and i dont see it whats going on

[songbirdocarinas]

@MrMamaluigi13 We aren't here over the weekend to approve them and they don't show up until we approve them.

[savaracharissa]

I love this contest, it's such a positive, happy idea! Once I tame my webcam I might upload some more, for now though... The First Noel is uploaded. Good luck everyone!

[MrMamaluigi13]

my video is not showing up

[MrMamaluigi13]

i keep trying to post a video response but it is not showing up

[songbirdocarinas]

@MrMamaluigi13 They have to be approved, we only approve them while we're in the office, Monday - Friday.

[kindanice4me]

I up loaded my last video for Toys for Tots, I wanted to get one more ocarina for a boy or girl, hope this one counts, I combined all five Christmas songs that we did so far.

[tristanMusicChannel]

how do you post a video response

[songbirdocarinas]

@tristanMusicChannel When you open the comment box, on the right it has an option to add a video.

[Moritasan24]

I hope one of the songs is God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen! :D

[Arawanach]

Can I use any of the songs previosly played?

[songbirdocarinas]

@Arawanach Yes! Any of the songs we've released.

[vergalis1103silagrev]

@songbirdocarinas so i can use a song that you released over a week ago?

[96Steven14]

What if we dont have an ocarina...?

[superzeldadude]

i REALLY need to get an ocarina........ but my parents wont let me

[slammusaran]

@superzeldadude There are really cheap ones from songbirdocarina*cahm--there are plastic ones for like $13

[slavesacrifice666]

im confused with the ocarina 12 hole song tabs DX

it looks like its for 11 hole, is there a hole missing in the tab pictures? or am i doing it wrong?



[songbirdocarinas]

@slavesacrifice666 With the twelve hole tabs, it only shows 11 because that extra hole is meant to be covered most of the time. The only time it is NOT covered is when it is shown in the tabs.

[slavesacrifice666]

@songbirdocarinas :: thats what i was thinking

thank you ^-^

[MrMamaluigi13]

do i have to do the song you sent out that week or any song you sent out during the month

[songbirdocarinas]

@MrMamaluigi13 You can do any of the songs we release throughout the month.

[dacrushera]

how do i post a video response?

[songbirdocarinas]

@dacrushera You can post a video response by clicking the "Post a Video Response" button, located under the video on its watch page.

[Baconboy20997]

@songbirdocarinas Where is it? There's like, add, share, embed, flag, and views. There's not Post Video Response.

[songbirdocarinas]

@Baconboy20997 Oh, I am so sorry, it looks like YouTube changed the way they did it since I last personally video responded. Now, you click the comment box & it says "attach video". It will then give you a choice to record, choose or upload a video.

[Baconboy20997]

@songbirdocarinas Thanks. I'll be posting a video soon then.

[secondsession]

You look so happy about playing greensleeves :D

[nikoplayocarina]

how long does it normally take for a video to be approved?

[songbirdocarinas]

@nikoplayocarina It depends on when you send it. We are in the office usually from 10am-3pm PT, Monday through Friday so if you post it over the weekend it will take a bit longer.

[sir0zeke]

If we enter a video for each song then do we raise our chances of winning? or are our chances the same if we only made a video for one of the songs?

[songbirdocarinas]

@sir0zeke Each person is entered once, no matter how many songs are posted. We encourage everyone to make more than one video though because we will be showcasing the responses on our blog!

[ocarinasrevived]

I tried posting a video response, but it's not showing up. :(

[isthisthingontest123]

@ocarinasrevived you have to wait for them to aprove it. it will take about a day.

[songbirdocarinas]

@ocarinasrevived All responses and comments must be approved but the response will show up after we approve.

[zeldapikachu64]

my video isnt showing in the box to select a video response...

[songbirdocarinas]

@zeldapikachu64 It should be showing now. We over here at Songbird central just needed to set it as approved. Thx for entering, great job!

[KinkyOats]

do we have to use the arrangement you're giving out? Or can I make my own arrangements?

Also, am I just misreading, or are you saying you can enter more than one entry for each SONG? Cause that sounds kinda stupid. Someone could just enter a million times and win.

[songbirdocarinas]

@KinkyOats You must use the songs that we are releasing. Your name will only get entered once no matter how many videos you send in, but we are encouraging people to still do more than one because it's fun!

[KinkyOats]

@songbirdocarinas I know I have to use the songs you're giving out, but like, am I allowed to write my own sheet music/make my own back track for said song?

[songbirdocarinas]

@KinkyOats That's fine!

[lemkalem]

And If I Iive in an other country? It doesn´t matter or?

[songbirdocarinas]

@lemkalem No that's fine!

[ozzyfalco108]

does it have to sound good? im sorta new to playing the ocarina and i tried the first song u guys posted. but it doesnt sound good. will that affect my chances if winning?

[songbirdocarinas]

@ozzyfalco108 Just do your best & have fun! The winner is being drawn at random so it doesn't matter if it's "good" or not. We think you're all awesome, at any level- we were all a beginner once, never forget that!

[songbirdocarinas]

@skullkid3311 you can post as many as you'd like!

[songbirdocarinas]

@lionzing123 As many as you'd like!

[sir0zeke]

Do we have to use a Songbird ocarina in our video?

[songbirdocarinas]

@sir0zeke Nope! Just one of the songs we release!

[OcarinaZombie]

yes i am definately gonna do this! is it possible to enter more than once?

[songbirdocarinas]

@OcarinaZombie Of course!

[songbirdocarinas]

@OcarinaZombie Of course!

[Basalisk172]

Gratz on becoming a 'part' of Docjaz!

[Umbreon47]

i like it.!

[slammusaran]

Do you, like, work for Songbird Ocarinas? You said "Don't forget to follow US on Facebook and Twitter."

[songbirdocarinas]

@slammusaran DocJazz is one of our good friends :)

[ozzyfalco108]

cant wait to enter

[MegaBookworm25]

January 7th!!!! that's the day before my birthday!!! :)

[TheKayasto]

sounds so pretty OwO

but the best sounding Oc ive ever heard was a bass triple, i cam buckets from its sound e_e

[MikeRules12346]

so it's a random drawing or does the best performance win the prize?

[songbirdocarinas]

@MikeRules12346 it is a random drawing- there's no way we could possibly pick a "best performance", we love them all too much!

[MikeRules12346]

@songbirdocarinas awesome! I can't wait to post my videos and hopefully I get lucky on the drawing cause nothing is better than a nice bass ocarina in my eyes!

[NintendoTrav]

Sounds like fun. :)

[WortheyClaye]

are we limited to just the songs you give? or can we pick anything?

[songbirdocarinas]

@WortheyClaye it must be one of the songs we release this month.

[AdrianCloud5513]

can we only enter 1 video? or as many as we want?

[songbirdocarinas]

@AdrianCloud5513 you can enter as many songs as you want!
