ABSTRACT:
A karaoke apparatus responds to a request for producing a karaoke music piece to accompany a live singing performance of words of the karaoke music piece by a karaoke player. In the karaoke apparatus, a storage device stores music data representing a plurality of karaoke music pieces and speech data representing speech sounds of words of the karaoke music pieces. An operation panel operates upon a request for designating a karaoke music piece to be performed. A tone generator retrieves the music data corresponding to the designated karaoke music piece from the storage device so as to generate music tones of the designated karaoke music piece to thereby accompany the live singing performance. A voice processor cooperates with the tone generator for retrieving the speech data corresponding to the designated karaoke music piece from the storage device so as to produce the speech sounds of the words of the designated karaoke music piece to thereby provide an aural prompt for the live singing performance of the words by the karaoke player.
