PROXY STATEMENT

FOR ANNUAL MEETING

OF SHAREHOLDERS

To Be Held November 5, 2007

General

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of The Singing Machine Company, Inc. of proxies to be voted at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and at any postponement or adjournment of this meeting. Our Annual Meeting will be held on November 5, 2007 at our executive offices which are located at 6601 Lyons Road, Bldg. A-7, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073. In this proxy statement, The Singing Machine Company, Inc. is referred to as the "Company," "we," "our" or "us."

Our principal executive offices are located at 6601 Lyons Road, Bldg. A-7, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073. Our proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card are first being mailed to our shareholders on or about October 10, 2007.

Purpose of the Annual Meeting

At our Annual Meeting, stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in the Notice of Annual Meeting on the cover page of this Proxy Statement, including the election of directors and ratification of the appointment of our independent auditors. In addition, management will report on the performance of the Company during fiscal year 2007 and respond to questions from stockholders.

Outstanding Securities and Voting Rights

Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on October 1, 2007, the record date, will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, we had 29,948,876 shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting.

A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. As noted above, as of the record date, 29,948,876 shares of our common stock, representing the same number of votes, were outstanding. Thus, the presence of the holders of common stock representing at least 14,974,439 votes will be required to establish a quorum. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

In tabulating the voting results for any proposal, shares that constitute broker “non-votes” are not considered entitled to vote on that proposal. Thus, broker “non-votes” will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the meeting assuming a quorum is obtained. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against a proposal.

Proxy Voting

Shares for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the directions given or, in the absence of directions, will be voted "FOR" Proposal 1 - the election of each of the nominees to the Board named herein and "FOR" Proposal 2 - the ratification of Berkovits, Lago and Company, LLP as our independent certified public accountants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. If however, other matters are properly presented, the person named in the proxies in the accompanying proxy card will vote in accordance with their discretion with respect to such matters.

Because many of our stockholders are unable to personally attend the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company solicits the enclosed proxy so that each stockholder is given an opportunity to vote. This proxy enables each stockholder to vote on all matters which are scheduled to come before the meeting. When the Proxy Card is returned and properly executed, the stockholder's shares will be voted according to the stockholder's directions. Stockholders are urged to specify their choices by marking the appropriate boxes on the enclosed Proxy card.

The manner in which your shares may be voted depends on how your shares are held. If you own shares of record, meaning that your shares of common stock are represented by certificates in your name so that you appear as a stockholder on the records of our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a proxy card for voting those shares will be included within this Proxy Statement. You may vote those shares by completing, signing and returning the proxy card in the enclosed envelope.

If you own shares in street name, meaning that your shares of common stock are held by a bank or brokerage firm, you may instead receive a voting instruction form with this Proxy Statement that you may use to instruct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares. As with a proxy card, you may vote your shares by completing, signing and returning the voting instruction form in the envelope provided.

All votes will be tabulated by the Inspector of Elections appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. A list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Company's office located at 6601 Lyons Road, Bldg. A-7, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, for a period of ten (10) days prior to the Annual Meeting for examination by any stockholder.

Attendance and Voting at the Annual Meeting

If you own common stock of record, you may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, regardless of whether you have previously voted by proxy card. If you own common stock in street name, you may attend the Annual Meeting but in order to vote your shares at the meeting, you must obtain a "legal proxy" from the bank or brokerage firm that holds your shares. You should contact your bank or brokerage account representative to learn how to obtain a legal proxy. We encourage you to vote your shares in advance of the Annual Meeting by one of the methods described above, even if you plan on attending the Annual Meeting. If you have already voted prior to the meeting, you may nevertheless change or revoke your vote at the Annual Meeting in the manner described below.

Revocation

If you own common stock of record, you may revoke a previously granted proxy at any time before it is voted by delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Any stockholder owning common stock in street name may change or revoke previously granted voting instructions by contacting the bank or brokerage firm holding the shares or by obtaining a legal proxy from such bank or brokerage firm and voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

Vote required to approve each proposal

The election of the directors of the Company requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. A properly executed Proxy marked "WITHOLD AUTHORITY" with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for the purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

Ratification of the appointment of Berkovits, Lago and Company, LLP as the Company's independent auditors for fiscal year 2008 will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS

Board Committees and Meetings

The Board of Directors oversees our business and affairs and monitors the performance of management. In accordance with corporate governance principles, the Board does not involve itself in day-to-day operations. The directors keep themselves informed through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer, other key executives and by reading the reports and other materials that we send them and by participating in Board and committee meetings. Our directors hold office until their successors have been elected and duly qualified; unless the director resigns or by reasons of death or other cause is unable to serve in the capacity of director.

The Board meets regularly during the year to review matters affecting our company and to act on matters requiring Board approval. It also holds special meetings whenever circumstances require and may act by unanimous written consent. During fiscal 2007, there were 12 meetings of the Board. All persons who were serving as directors during fiscal 2007 attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and committees of which they were members except for Yat Tung Lau and Peter Hon. During fiscal 2007, the persons serving on our Board of Directors were Yi Ping Chan, Bernard Appel, Harvey Judkowitz, Marc Goldberg, Stewart Merkin, Carol Lau, Yat Tung Lau, Peter Hon and Jay Bauer. As of October 1, 2007, the persons serving on our Board are Jay Bauer, Carol Lau, Bernard Appel, Harvey Judkowitz, Peter Hon, Yat Tung Lau and Stewart Merkin.

Board Committees

We have an audit committee, an executive compensation/stock option committee and a nominating committee.

Audit Committee. As of October 1, 2007, the audit committee consists of Messrs. Judkowitz (Chairman), Appel and Merkin. The Board has designated Mr. Judkowitz as the "audit committee financial expert," as defined by Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Board has determined that Messrs. Judkowitz, Merkin and Appel are "independent directors" within the meaning of the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange. The audit committee recommends the engagement of independent auditors to the board, initiates and oversees investigations into matters relating to audit functions, reviews the plans and results of audits with our independent auditors, reviews our internal accounting controls, and approves services to be performed by our independent auditors. During fiscal 2007, the Audit Committee held two (2) meetings.

Executive Compensation/Stock Option Committee. As of October 1, 2007, the executive compensation/stock option committee consists of Ms. Carol Lau (Chairwoman), Messrs. Judkowitz and Bauer. The executive compensation/stock option committee considers and authorizes remuneration arrangements for senior management and grants options under, and administers our employee stock option plan. During fiscal 2007, the Executive Compensation/Stock Option Committee did not hold any meetings; however there were several breakout sections during regular board meetings.

Nominating Committee. As of October 1, 2007, the nominating committee consists of Messrs. Appel (Chairman), Bauer, Merkin and Yat Tung Lau. The nominating committee is responsible for reviewing the qualifications of potential nominees for election to the Board of Directors and recommending the nominees to the Board of Directors for such election. During fiscal 2007, the Nominating Committee held two (2) meetings.

Nomination of Directors

As provided in its charter and our company's corporate governance principles, the Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become directors. The Nominating Committee seeks to identify director candidates based on input provided by a number of sources, including (1) the Nominating Committee members, (2) our other directors, (3) our stockholders, and (4) our Chief Executive Officer. In evaluating potential candidates for director, the Nominating Committee considers the entirety of each candidate's credentials.

Qualifications for consideration as a director nominee may vary according to the particular areas of expertise being sought as a complement to the existing composition of the Board of Directors. However, at a minimum, candidates for director must possess:

·	high personal and professional ethics and integrity;

·	the ability to exercise sound judgment;

·	the ability to make independent analytical inquiries;

·	a willingness and ability to devote adequate time and resources to diligently perform Board and committee duties; and

·	the appropriate and relevant business experience and acumen.

In addition to these minimum qualifications, the Nominating Committee also takes into account when considering whether to nominate a potential director candidate the following factors:

·	whether the person possesses specific industry expertise and familiarity with general issues affecting our business;

·	whether the person's nomination and election would enable the Board to have a member that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in Item 401 of Regulation S-K;

·	whether the person would qualify as an "independent" director under the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange;

·	the importance of continuity of the existing composition of the Board of Directors to provide long term stability and experienced oversight; and

·	the importance of diversified Board membership, in terms of both the individuals involved and their various experiences and areas of expertise.

The Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders provided such recommendations are submitted in accordance with the procedures set forth below. In order to provide for an orderly and informed review and selection process for director candidates, the Board of Directors has determined that stockholders who wish to recommend director candidates for consideration by the Nominating Committee must comply with the following:

·	The recommendation must be made in writing to the Corporate Secretary, The Singing Machine Company, Inc., 6601 Lyons Road, Bldg. A-7, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073.

The recommendation must include the candidate's name, home and business contact information, detailed biographical data and qualifications, information regarding any relationships between the candidate and the Company within the last three years and evidence of the recommending person's ownership of the Company's common stock.

The recommendation shall also contain a statement from the recommending shareholder in support of the candidate; professional references, particularly within the context of those relevant to board membership, including issues of character, judgment, diversity, age, independence, expertise, corporate experience, length of service, other commitments and the like; and personal references.

·	A statement from the shareholder nominee indicating that such nominee wants to serve on the Board and could be considered "independent" under the Rules and Regulations of the American Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as in effect at that time.

All candidates submitted by stockholders will be evaluated by the Nominating Committee according to the criteria discussed above and in the same manner as all other director candidates.

DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION

During fiscal 2007, our compensation package for our non-employee directors consisted of grants of stock options, cash payments, stock issuances and reimbursement of costs and expenses associated with attending our Board meetings. Our eight non-employee directors during fiscal 2007 were Messrs. Bauer, Appel, Judkowitz, Goldberg, Hon, Carol Lau, Yat Tung Lau and Merkin.

During fiscal 2007, we have implemented the following compensation policy for our directors.

·	An initial grant of 20,000 Singing Machine stock options with an exercise price determined as the closing price on the day of joining the board. The options will vest in one year and expire in ten years while they are board members or 90 days once they are no longer board members.

·	An annual cash payment of $7,500 will be made for each completed full year of service or prorated for a partial year. The payment will be made as of March 31.

·	An annual stock grant of stock equivalent in value to $2,500 for each completed full year of service or prorated for a partial year. The stock price at grant will be determined at the closing price on the day of the Annual Shareholder Meeting. The actual grant will be made on or before March 31.

An annual grant of 20,000 Singing Machine stock options with an exercise price determined as the closing price on the day of the Annual Shareholder Meeting. If the Annual Meeting is held less than 6 months after the board member first joined the board he or she will not receive another option grant.

YEAR 1994 PLAN

Our 1994 Plan was originally adopted by our Board of Directors in May 1994 and was approved by our shareholders on June 29, 1994. Our shareholders approved amendments to our 1994 Plan in March 1999 and September 2000. The 1994 Plan reserved for issuance up to 1,950,000 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the Plan. As of March 31, 2003, we had granted all the options that are available for grant under our 1994 Plan. As of March 31, 2007, we have 13,050 options issued and outstanding under the 1994 Plan and all of these options are fully vested as of March 31, 2007.

YEAR 2001 PLAN

On June 1, 2001, our Board of Directors approved the Year 2001 Plan and it was approved by our shareholders at our special meeting held September 6, 2001. The Year 2001 Plan was developed to provide a means whereby directors and selected employees, officers, consultants, and advisors of the Company may be granted incentive or non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock of the Company. The Year 2001 Plan authorizes an aggregate of 1,950,000 shares of the Company `s common stock with a maximum of 450,000 shares to any one individual in any one fiscal year. The shares of common stock available under the Year 2001 Plan are subject to adjustment for any stock split, declaration of a stock dividend or similar event. At March 31, 2007, we have granted 1,369,840 options under the Year 2001 Plan, 569,257 of which are fully vested.

The Year 2001 Plan is administered by our Stock Option Committee ("Committee"), which consists of two or more directors chosen by our Board. The Committee has the full power in its discretion to (i) grant options under the Year 2001 Plan, (ii) determine the terms of the options (e.g. - vesting, exercise price), (iii) to interpret the provisions of the Year 2001 Plan and (iv) to take such action as it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Year 2001 Plan.

Options granted to eligible individuals under the Year 2001 Plan may be either incentive stock options ("ISO's"), which satisfy the requirements of Code Section 422, or nonstatutory options ("NSO's"), which are not intended to satisfy such requirements. Options granted to outside directors, consultants and advisors may only be NSO's. The option exercise price will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. ISO's must have an exercise price greater to or equal to the fair market value of the shares underlying the option on the date of grant (or, if granted to a holder of 10% or more of our common stock, an exercise price of at least 110% of the under underlying shares fair market value on the date of grant). The maximum exercise period of ISO's is 10 years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of a holder with 10% or more of our common stock). The aggregate fair market value (determined at the date the option is granted) of shares with respect to which an ISO are exercisable for the first time by the holder of the option during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. If that amount exceeds $100,000, our Board of the Committee may designate those shares that will be treated as NSO's.

Options granted under the Year 2001 Plan are not transferable except by will or applicable laws of descent and distribution. Except as expressly determined by the Committee, no option shall be exercisable after thirty (30) days following an individual's termination of employment with the Company or a subsidiary, unless such termination of employment occurs by reason of such individual's disability, retirement or death. The Committee may in its sole discretion, provide in a grant instrument that upon a change of control (as defined in the Year 2001 Plan) that all outstanding option issued to the grantee shall automatically, accelerate and become full exercisable. Additionally, the obligations of the Company under the Year 2001 Plan are binding on (1) any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company or (2) any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company. In the event of any of the foregoing, the Committee may, at its discretion, prior to the consummation of the transaction, offer to purchase, cancel, exchange, adjust or modify any outstanding options, as such time and in such manner as the Committee deems appropriate.

401(K) PLAN

Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted a voluntary 401(k) plan. All employees with at least one year of service are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan. We make a matching contribution of 100% of salary deferral contributions up to 3% of pay, plus 50% of salary deferral contributions from 3% to 5% of pay for each payroll period. The amounts charged to earnings for contributions to this plan and administrative costs during the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 totaled approximately $39,460, $39,572 and $30,025, respectively.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION/STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Report of the Executive Compensation/Stock Option Committee on Executive Compensation does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

PHILOSOPHY

The Executive Compensation Committee believes that the Singing Machine must maintain short and long-term executive compensation plans that enable us to attract and retain well-qualified executives. Furthermore, we believe that our compensation plans must also provide a direct incentive for our executives to create shareholder value. A well designed executive compensation plan will align the interests between the executives and the shareholders as well as creating a positive environment of goals, performances and rewards.

We believe that the executive compensation should reflect the success of the management team, rather than the individual, in attaining the key operating objectives such as revenues growth, operation cost reduction, fund raising and the appreciation of the stock price. A clear measurement should be established to reward the performance. We will also evaluate our executive compensation package by comparison to similar companies to ensure the competitiveness of our compensation.

In furtherance of this philosophy, the compensation of our executives generally consists of three components: base salary, annual cash incentives and long-term performance-based incentives.

BASE SALARIES

Annual base salaries for executive officers are initially determined by evaluating the responsibility of the position and the experience and the skill sets of the individual. Also taken into consideration is the competitiveness of the market place for executive talent, including a comparison of base annual salaries with comparable positions within similar companies.

INCENTIVE CASH BONUSES

Generally, we award cash bonuses to our management employees and other employees, based on their personal performance in the past year and overall performance of our Company. The overall performance of our Company includes the revenue growth, reduction of the operation expenses, fund raising and the stock price appreciation.

LONG TERM COMPENSATION - STOCK OPTION GRANTS

We have utilized stock options to motivate and retain executive officers and other employees for the long-term. We believe that stock options closely align the interests of our executive officers and other employees with those of our stockholders and provide a major incentive to building stockholder value. Options are typically granted annually, and are subject to vesting provisions to encourage officers and employees to remain employed with the Company. Our stock options are usually granted at a price equal to or above the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. As such, our officers only benefit from the grant of stock options if our stock price appreciates. Generally, we try to tie bonus payments to our financial performance. However, if an individual has made significant contributions to our Company, we will provide them with a bonus payment for their efforts even if our Company's financial performance has not been strong.

COMPENSATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

On October 17, 2003, Yi Ping Chan became our Interim Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Chan's salary was $250,000 per year, as set forth in his employment agreement. In July 2003, Mr. Chan agreed to accept 15% of his salary during the nine-month period between July 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004 in the form of stock rather than cash. We also agreed to grant Mr. Chan options to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $5.60 per share, of which 50,000 options vest each year and to reimburse him for moving expenses of up to $40,000. Mr. Chan has voluntarily cancelled the 150,000 options on May 10, 2006.

We did not grant any cash bonuses to Mr. Chan in fiscal 2006 or fiscal 2007.

We awarded Mr. Chan options to purchase 52,800 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.97 per share in December 2003. These shares were voluntarily cancelled in fiscal year 2007. We awarded 80,000 stock options to Mr. Chan at exercise price of $0.60 on May 9, 2005. On April 10, 2006, Mr. Chan was given stock options, which vest in 1 year, to purchase 120,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.33 per share. All of these options were granted under our Year 2001 Stock Option Plan and were granted at a price that was equal to closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. Mr. Chan's options, with the exception of the options granted in fiscal 2007, vest at a rate of one-third per year over a period of three years. Mr. Chan resigned as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective as of December 31, 2006.

Danny Zheng served as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer from January 1, 2007 through June 21, 2007. During this time, Mr. Zheng had an employment contract, for the Chief Financial Officer position, which was entered into on July 20, 2006. Based on the agreement, Mr. Zheng’s base salary is $160,000 per year. The agreement also includes a monthly car allowance of $500 per month and a bonus, which is at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The agreement expires on July 17, 2008.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The compensation committee sets performance goals and objectives for the chief executive officer and the other executive officers, evaluates their performance with respect to those goals and sets their compensation based upon the evaluation of their performance. The compensation committee assesses the information it receives in accordance with its business judgment. The compensation committee also periodically reviews director compensation.
