Can kids sing into this so that it amplifies their voices, or does it just have instructions?

Hi Judy, it doesn't have a mic. It just instructs with music and lights. You can see videos on YouTube as well.

You can't sing into it, it just gives instructions, but is very fun to get some energy out.

Hi Judy, it does not amplify children's voices. My daughter really enjoyed hers for about three months but then she became bored with it.

Yes, your daughter can use it to sing whatever she wants, but you have to download the lyrics alone and put in by I tunes!

Yes, I used it to help some of my friends children, ages 6-12, to learn how to play a few song. They enjoyed it.

We use it at church for our pastor. It works for us very well when our pastor delivers sermon because he moves around while delivering sermon. But I am not sure how it would work for singing.

No. It plays a different song for Alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors and games, with a choice of 4 or 5 different instrument sounds. The microphone button must be pushed at all times in order to operate and has to practically be in the childs mouth for you to hear him/her, also they have to hold the machine up to sing because the cord is too short. If they are not interested in singing and only want to learn, then it's okay. Otherwise, this was a disappointment.

Not in order for the microphone to work, however if you want to convert the song into karaoke then yes it does.

You need to plug the mic into an amplifier. This is NOT A TOY! I use these in my recording studio. Look for "Mr. Mic" if you want a toy microphone for your kids. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Peerless-Performer-Microphone/20932567

Yes. You can sing by yourself--and frankly it sounds better that way. Unless you download some songs, the included ones kinda stink (though my 4yr olds enjoyed singing along with them even though they didn't know all the words).

Bernadette, I don't have this particular item, but own TC Electronics VoiceLive Touch Vocal Effects Processor and plug my iphone/ipod into it, connect to an amp, connect the TC Electronics Vocal Microphone MP-75 Dynamic Microphone, Super-Cardiod to it and sing along with my own tunes. My friends and I have a blast with the different voice settings. I am no pro by any means, this was all in the name of having fun. Have not tried connecting my computer yet, to try and access my itunes account. Initially, I was looking for something for my computer, but stumbled onto this and have no regrets.

Yes! There are 2 buttons on the microphone. One plays Dora's music, the other button will amplify your voice with no other accompanying sounds.

I cant say for sure, it took the kids age 6 and 7 a while to coordinate that you have to push to talk, and then release to hear someone else. Once they practiced for a while they got the hang of it though. However, it didn't take away from the fun they. The 3 year olds had as much fun just running around talking into it.

not very much. It does have good amplification, & I use external echo anyway, so it works fine for me. It has enough fx to make singers sound very good, but it does need tweeking for each different style of voice.

Nope! Just plug and play (well...sing, speak, etc.). This is a great item - easily transportable and dependable. I use it all the time.

it could be loud enough most likely, but it is just a voice amplifier and it has a tinny sound. it works well speaking as what we got it for but not sure you would be happy singing through it

you can use it for a microphone and just sing in it if that is what your talking about without music, thats what my son does and plays music off another system
