singing equipment

Do you really want to jam (as in jam like in a jamming studio) at home?? Have you considered if you will be a nusiance to your neighbors??
Like we say, there is a time and place for everything. If you don't want problems, have the right time and the right place. Do your practise at home, but do your rehersal at a jamming studio. Make more sense.

Have you heard of the Everitt Rd neighbor spat??
Unless you have catered a special sound proof room(cost between $20-40K to make). Or an underground (real underground) basement which is isolated from the upper level.
I bet a large percent of people who tried to make a jamming place at home, end up not being able to use it after a few time, police come knocking. Imagine the money you already spent to buy the equipment.

hi Tany,
Actually im currently in the process of setting up a room for some "light" practise session which includes singing and some simple instruments like guitar and keyboard..
Personally, i don't tink it will affect my neighbours if u r playing at normal listening levels (lower that 75dB).. Im currently residing in a normal HDB flat. So far have been "jamming" using my BMB speakers wif no complains... Think some ppl blast their karaoke sets louder than i do..
For my case, im using a P.A mixer and a reverb unit for my vocal. As i often invite my friends over to sing, i find the mixer pretty useful for big gatherings.. Of course i will link my dvd/ vcd player to my mixer for music playback of my karaoke disc lah..
Probably u can consider..

There are a lot of solutions to solve your problems. 
Mark is right. Just a simple p.a system will solve your prob. But for your 1st question u r asking more abt vocal if i am not wrong. U want to know how to hear your own voice with a good quality sound without the use of recording purposes if i undertsand your question. If that the case u can use the simplest method which is get a vocal mic and a instrument amp(freq response must be able to handle*). *30Hz to 18kHz best! Do u have any budget?

Tany, few questions for ya..
1) Can u sing w/o looking at the lyrics? If yes, u can connect w/o TV. However, i doubt normal comp spkr will sound good for singing..Dats my 2 cents..
2) Wat r u using to record? Cassette recorder, md, cd recorder????
3) Imo, mixer is essential in recording as it;
- provide a platform where multiple inputs can be connected
- balance the volume of ur music, vocal or any other instruments so that no one is louder than the other..
- can do some basic eq to the sound to ur liking(example, if u have a thin voice, u can boost the "lo" and probably some "mid" to make your voice sound more "thick")
4) Can provide the model no of that US$99 Yammy portable PA?
Cheers

"but with a mixer, u plug in a condenser mic, and u get good recording quality?"
I wont say guarantee to get good recording, but decent recording.. Coz a good recording constitute of many factors.. E.g, recording enviroment, mic use, cable use, etc...
Note that if u wana use condenser mic, ur mixer muz have phamton power.
