THE ROYAL

Finale

February 22, 2025

THE CAPITOL THEATRE

IF YOU HAD ONE SHOT TO WIN $1000, WOULD YOU TAKE IT?

  • YOUR SONG

    It all begins with a song. That song you know all the words to. The one you catch yourself singing along to at full volume in your car and sometimes even in the grocery store.

  • YOUR CREW

    We know how hard it is to get up and do things in front of a crowd. So, the choice is yours: are you a solo act, or a group? You can rock the stage on your own, or bring up to four of your friends.

  • YOUR VISION

    This isn’t JUST about how well you know the words. This is performance at its finest, including dance, costume, stage presence, and more. Are you going for authentic duplication? Satire? Drag? The stage is your oyster.

YOur hostS

Ruth and shelby

Besties and first annual Lip Sync Battle champs.

Their motto when they planned their performances was “no bad ideas”, and that is the exact energy they want you to bring to the stage this year.

JUDGING CRITERIA

  • How well you can actually lip sync and know the words to the song. You’ve got one shot, don’t fudge it up.

  • Does your costume choice enhance your performance?

    Or did you roll off the street in yesterday’s hiking gear?

  • Show us how you shake it. A little choreo (or a lot!) goes a looong way.

  • Did the whole room stop and watch? Were people on their feet? Do you have the special sauce?

  • We heard last year’s audience LOUD AND CLEAR, and you demanded a voice! New this year: official audience voting at the finale in February.

THE AUDITIONS

COMPETITOR AUDITIONS

Each competitor will have up to 5 minutes on stage for one song only. The one song to rule them all.

Our judging panel will provide a sizzling commentary as we move through the evening. Imagine a live edition of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, with a little extra dash of Nelson.

Song selections must be approved by the Event Organizers; no discriminatory language permitted.

JUDGING PANEL

After each audition, our judges will provide a commentary and their scores. Don’t forget about the possible bonus points from Ruth and Shelby’s Golden Croc!

ONLY FIVE FINALISTS

That’s right. There are only FIVE coveted spots for the grand finale. This is the best odds of winning $1000 pretty much ever in all of time and space.

ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCES

We’re going to shake it up with performances by the reigning champs, Ruth and Shelby, and Intuit Movement’s dance team. You’re going to be so full of entertainment at the end of this you’re not going to know what hit you.

NEW THIS YEAR: AUDIENCE VOTING

We want to hear from the audience! This year there will be an opportunity to support your favourite performer with text-in audience voting at the finale in February.

JUDGING CRITERIA

  • LIP SYNC- ABILITY

    The ability to mouth the words of a song in perfect synchronization with the recording, thereby creating the illusion that the person or group is actually performing the song on stage in concert.

    Precise synchronization between the sound and performer is critical. When a word or note is being sustained for a long period of time, the performer must exhibit the same amount of tension or energy which it takes to actually sing the song.

    Any spoken words also should be recognized.

    Use of microphone.

  • COSTUME + PROP USE

    Use of costumes and props – and how well the costumes, hair style and accessories match the look or actions of the original artist being recreated.

    Use of facial expressions, gestures and choreography which simulates the likeness of the original performer(s) or a satirical version of the performer.

  • DANCE + CHOREOGRAPHY

    The use of gestures and choreography which enhance the visual experience of the performance.

    Contestants must be able to continue lip syncing while performing choreography; this is an important element to consider in song selection.

    Use of movements from either music-video or suitable to the era encouraged.

  • CROWD APPEAL + AUDIENCE RESPONSE

    Ability to engage the crowd and generate audience response. New this year, the audience has a voice and will be able to vote for their favourite performer via text-in voting at the finale.

    Don’t just stand there… dance, smile, make eye contact, have fun… WOW your fans!
