The Future of Chat is here.
Talkaoke has been on the club scene for a couple of years and has built up a substantial underground following. You'll find it in nightclubs, pubs, bars and at festivals. It's part of the trend away from 'shut up & dance' culture to a more media-wise interactive culture. The currency of this new culture is chat.
The
Talkaoke format is simple: a circular table with a compere in the middle
on a swivelly chair and a microphone. Anybody can sit or stand around the
table but once they take the mic, they're the centre of attention. It's not
long before the man in the middle works his magic. But it's the audience who
become the stars, their voice amplified and their image displayed on big video
screens around the venue.
Talkaoke is not ordinary chat. The spotlights and the glamour encourage
people to give their all. The subject matter encompasses the profound, intimate,
and outrageous, but it is always compelling. At the controls, the genial host
acts as editor, MC, devil's advocate and scapegoat.
