Twitch Sings: Let's get together and sing on Twitch!

Hey guys, recently I found out about Twitch Sings (I know Twitch, but never knew about this new thing until @Mysti and @Sophia told me about it).
It's this app where you... well, sing (and can also stream it). It's like a karaoke app bundled together with a cool game. And the game rates you based on pitch etc. When you collect points, you can customize your avatar. You can add reverb and some basic effects to your singing which is like software pre-processing essentially.
Another really cool thing is that you can do duets there. You can join random people for duets or create your own duet.
So what I suggest is that anyone who wants to rock and maybe get some public attention too, or just do cool duets with people from KTVA (or any other people) might wanna check it out.
Let me know if you join. I dunno if you can add people there as your friends (which is not the same as subscribers), but here's my Twitch channel, and I do intend to do this fairly regularly, depending on how entertaining it gets:
I'm probably gonna stream around 6-9 pm (exact time is hard to tell) on weekdays and maybe after lunch ~3-5 pm on weekends (UTC+1).
If you wanna join, hit me up there or here, and let's discuss some time when we could get together and sing some stuff!
So far @Diego mentioned he'd like to join, but I would love for more people to participate as well.
P.S. Camera is not necessary if you don't feel like it. You can let your avatar represent you on stage.

You might like to watch some streams under the Twitch Sings category to see how they go. There is a very active community and it is quite encouraging. People host, raid, and support each other, and it's traditional to have a queue for people who would like you to sing with them, etc. People normally watch the duets of theirs that other people have completed and then go to that person's profile and complete one of their duets. It's a very interactive thing. There are also challenges that the audience can vote for (e.g. "Sing like a vampire") during songs, although you can switch that off.

@coffeecrank i have't even streamed. Just had fun with duets.
You need to have a Twitch account (which is free) to use as your login for the application. You have a list of songs. You can either sing them through solo, or record an Open Duet (sometimes referred to as seeds), which is where you sing only the lines it highlights for you, or choose a duet seed that someone else has made and sing the missing lines in that.
When you perform a song in it, it asks you at the end if you want to upload it. You can say no, and it will be deleted. This applies to solos, finishing someone else's duet, or creating your own Open Duet. Nothing becomes publicly available without your permission.
Anything you choose to save gets associated with your Twitch account, and you can download them from their website (apart from duet seeds). No one else can do that. If someone completes one of your seeds, the video will only be downloadable by them.
All solos, seeds, and completed duets you save will be available under your profile in the Twitch Sings application. Duet seeds remain for 90 days before being automatically deleted, but completed ones are there forever unless you choose to delete them.
If you stream Sings, then audience interaction becomes a thing. Unless you deactivate it, there is a browser extension that lets them applaud you (giving ovations once the meter fills up) and voting on challenges during the song ("Sing like a pirate"). Anyone can watch streams. They can be a lot of fun. You can search for other players in the application, go to their profile, look at what duet seeds they have available, and join them.
All the features work offline as well, except for the audience interaction. There is currently no way to sing live with someone else. The party mode kind of does, but it's not ideal, I don't think.
Don't worry about not being as good as the best people. There is a wide range of abilities on there. Some people may not even look at their completed duets as there are so many of them, and they wait until the person shows up in their stream. For others, the only indication you might have that they've seen it is that the view count will go up by one. Others will leave a comment. You are better than a lot of people on there, but most people who do Sings do it because they love singing karaoke, not because they're aiming to be professional singers.
If we are going to be completing each others' duets, I'm sure it will be a nice, friendly atmosphere, and just a way to have a little fun applying the techniques we practice in our workouts.
