VOCAL TRAINING SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH FLEXIBLE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION CRITERIA

摘要

A music video game includes a vocal training system and method with flexible performance evaluation criteria. The player is presented with an in-game interface including one or more feedback mechanisms configured to provide feedback to a player relating to the player's performance of the music video game. A compare module compares the player's performance with a reference performance provided by the music video game. A 10 performance evaluation module determines the performance feedback to be presented to the player while the player performs the musical composition. In some embodiments, the player's pitch and rhythm are compared against a reference pitch and rhythm. If the player's pitch and rhythm matches the reference pitch and rhythm to within a predetermined target range, then the performance feedback is positive. Otherwise, the performance feedback is negative. In some embodiments, the target range can be adjusted based on the difficulty of the song and/or a player profile.
