TC-Helicon and Beardyman Go Absolutely Loopy

(Victoria, Canada, 7 July 2011)  TC-Helicon’s  ‘Gone Loopy’ competition runs from 30 June to 30 September, and the  only requirements to participate is a TC-Helicon product with looping  capability (VoiceLive Touch, VoiceLive 2 or the VoiceJam app for  iPhone), a personal YouTube account and an open, creative mind.

The grand prize of the ‘Gone Loopy’ competition is a US$1000 in cash  plus a 45-minute lesson via Skype with the vocal looping master,  Beardyman. Additionally, there are 5 runners up prizes – a ‘mystery’  TC-Helicon product – and the 5 perticipants who upload the most video  entries will also be awarded with a TC-Helicon MP-75 Modern Performance  Microphone.

To enter the competition, participants just have to complete 3 simple  steps. First, they must record a video of themselves creating layers of  vocal loops, using a TC-Helicon looping device. Second, upload the video  to a personal YouTube video channel, making sure that ‘TC-Helicon  Looping’ is included in the title of the video, and third, complete the  online entry form on TC-Helicon’s website. To increase the chances of  winning all participants are free to loop these 3 steps as many times as  they want to – a new video must be submitted each time, of course.

All winners of the competition will be selected exclusively by the  amazing voice loop and human beatbox master: Darren Foreman aka  ‘Beardyman’. In a way, he could be seen as the personification of  TC-Helicon’s overall goal: to support all singers’ natural right to  express themselves in any way they feel like. Beardyman currently uses  an impressive setup of looping devices and effects when creating his  layers of vocals, including several pieces of gear from the TC-Helicon  family of products.
