Karaoke For Fun and Profit #5 [Monday, Period 4, 8/4]
Mike was on his cell phone as the class arrived at the Danger Room, talking in hushed tones about kids and Fandom. "Sorry about that, folks," he said, hanging up his phone. "A buddy of mine is freaking out. His fiancée said something weird when he called her over the weekend. While I'm at it, sorry I couldn't be here last week. Troy, thanks so much for taking care of last week's class."
He grinned. "Hopefully in a few weeks you might get to see the commercial I did for an auto insurance company. That leads to today's topic: profit! There are a couple ways to make money doing karaoke. The most direct way are karaoke competitions. Just be sure to check what kind of prizes they offer if you're looking for cash. Personally, I'm rather fond my souvenir tote bag that I won in Florida." He nodded in Turtle's direction as he spokeassuming she was there.
"But even if you're not competing for cash, there are other ways to make a profit from karaoke. You see, competitions help expose you to talent agents looking for the next big thing. You could get a chance at a recording contract or get shot at singing commercial jingles. Those gigs pay very well, actually," added Mike. "There are other things as well. My buddy Danny and I did a duet once at a karaoke night and we got approached by someone who wanted us to pose for a calendar. Of course, we didn't know until after it was too late that we'd agreed to be in a gay men's calendar, but it was for charity. Which, um, just goes to show that you should always do your research first before accepting a gig. I think we'll end on that note today and get right to singing."

He had a bit of a rough start, falling behind as he tried to read the lyrics off the screen, but it wasn't long after that he really got into the song.

When she finished, she smiled, and took her seat once again in the audience.
