SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the first week of October, interactive live event platform www.VOKLE.com will host Last Voice Standing, the first live singing competition that brings in all of its contestants virtually. Anyone with a webcam and a great voice can audition online on October 1, and from October 2-7, ten finalists from around the country will compete in a three-part singing contest. Singers will advance based on popular vote, and the final winner will be decided by Jordan Ruddess of Dream Theater. The winner receives a new iPad2 loaded with extras and an exclusive 30-minute session with band members of Dream Theater.
President and CEO of VOKLE, Robert Kiraz, explains, “The purpose of our platform is to give a voice to interesting and talented people. We anticipate that ‘Last Voice Standing’ will do just that: bring in gifted people virtually and showcase their talent to a live audience.” A competition like this has never been done before, but it’s the next logical step in the recent singing competition phenomenon that’s spread across television media. This time, anyone with a webcam can participate, and a virtual audience casts their vote with a click of a button.
Votes will be cast through online clip sharing. VOKLE’s unique recordings have a chapter feature which allows the singers to easily share their moment in the spotlight. One tweet, one like, one vote. The promotion of these chapters across social media will allow the online audience to decide who advances.
Jordan Ruddess of the Billboard-charting metal band Dream Theater says, “I have always embraced forward-thinking technology, and I have believed in VOKLE since I first discovered the possibilities their system offers. I’m excited to be a part of this cutting-edge, awesome internet event.”
