1.             The music volume can be a bit louder.

2.             The music volume is too low.

3.             Thanks for your effort.

4.             The proportion of English used by the host can be increased to better align with the purpose of this event and to make it more welcoming for our international friends.

5.             Very good. Keep it up. Get more people in

6.             Thank you, everyone. It was enjoyable, and I also got to practice my English.

7.             (1) I hope that this competition can have more professional equipment, sound control, and judges (perhaps collaborating with music clubs). It seems that this time the judges were more inclined to score based on their personal preferences, with less emphasis on students' vocal abilities and some more musical elements.

(2) In terms of equipment, using only conference-specific microphones and speakers imposes many limitations. During the event, it was observed that some singers with softer voices faced issues where the microphone failed to capture their sound, resulting in their vocals being drowned out by the music. It was disappointing that adjustments were not made promptly.

When adjusting the volume and balance, it should be the responsibility of the PA (Public Address) personnel in the audience area to configure the equipment based on the individual conditions of each performer. If only those on stage are asked for feedback, they won't have a true understanding of the overall sound quality. It's a somewhat disheartening experience.

Above all, thank you to the teacher for organizing this competition with dedication. Although it's a bit disappointing not to have received an award in my final year, I hope there will be similar musical events for younger students to participate in the future.

8.             Thank you.

9.             I hope the time limit for songs can be extended a bit. The choices between 3:30 and 4:30 are quite limited, and it would be great to have more flexibility in selecting song durations.

10.            Great.
