Karaoke Forums

I think we have a few different ideas going here.

Training information - I'm fine with the thought of someone putting out a DVD or book explaining ideas for running a show or a how to start up a karaoke business. That doesn't bother me.

Regulations - Now this I don't like. Do I need someone telling me what type of PA I must have or I'll be fined? Do I need to be told I can't use a pc? or that I must have a contract for every gig? This could be endless.

Certifications - I don't think certifying KJs is going to make them better. It would just be extra expense for something I don't need. If it was not manditory and it helped some people get jobs I'd say go for it. Ex: Personal Trainers can choose to pay to be certified if they want, but it isn't manditory by law.

I completely agree with everything you just said Babs.

I second that too Babs.

Regulations? - No... for what? Everybody is different. If you're doing a good job, you will last in the business. If not, you're not... as simple as that.

Training? - Sure, on a voluntary base if somebody offers that and another person (especially a Newbie) is interested. This could be a good thing for starters.

Certifications? - BS

Certifications ha just like degrees you feed material then they regurgitate it back on a test the true professional will learn the right way with a few pointers and practicical experiance just like engineers and technicians . just my 2 cents Dave
