Get a cleaner entertainment score
Updated September 10, 2026
A useful score starts with a clean microphone signal. The goal is not to sing louder than everyone else—it is to give the browser a steady, clear voice signal it can measure.
Know what the score means
DCGrafix measures patterns related to voice activity, pitch stability, steady timing, and held notes. It does not compare your voice to a studio master recording, judge pronunciation, or determine artistic quality. Treat the result as a fun challenge and compare your own performances under similar conditions.
Control speaker spill
When the backing track enters the same microphone, the browser has trouble separating your voice from the music. Earphones offer the cleanest setup. If you use speakers, place them in front of the singer and aim them away from the microphone. Keep the microphone behind the speaker line, not directly facing a speaker cone.
Keep a steady microphone distance
Start about a hand-width from the microphone and adjust for your voice. Moving very close on quiet lines and far away on loud lines creates abrupt level changes. Instead, keep a comfortable base distance and make small movements. Do not cover the phone or microphone opening.
Use timing and breathing
Listen through the introduction, enter after the beat is established, and finish phrases deliberately. Take breaths before long lines so the sound stays supported instead of fading suddenly. If you lose your place, rejoin at the next obvious phrase rather than rushing several words to catch up.
Make comparisons fairly
Use the same device, room, microphone distance, and volume when comparing attempts. Background conversation, electric fans near the microphone, and speaker echo can change the detected signal. A higher score in a quieter setup does not necessarily mean the performance sounded better to listeners.
