There are many people though that can’t seem to find the courage to stand up, get up the stage and sing a song. Always remember that karaoke bars are for amateur singers, you don’t have to worry if you think you don’t sing too well. If people wanted to hear great singers, they should have gone to a concert, not a karaoke bar.
Here are some pointers and tips to remember when you go to a Karaoke Bar:
Everyone has a favorite song or singer, but that doesn’t mean you can sing their songs as well. Pick a song that will best suit your voice and your voice range. Sing a song that you are very familiar with. At least you’ll know the pitch changes and the weaknesses and strengths of your singing abilities with that song. Don’t sing a Barry Manilow song if you sound more like Barry White.
Don’t be ashamed to ask a KJ (Karaoke Jockey) to fix the key of the song before you go for your turn. You don’t have to force your voice just to reach a key you know you can’t reach.
If you have or own a karaoke disc take it with you. Chances are you have mastered that disc already so you will have the confidence to sing it in front of a crowd. Rarely does a KJ or a Karaoke Bar refuse a customer who brought their own CD or DVD.
Slow down with your alcohol intake. Getting drunk will make you slur and shout the lyrics. A drunk never looks good. Also, alcohol tends to dry the mouth, if nervousness and stage fright won’t do it to you, the alcohol would surely will.
Perform, don’t showboat. Chances are you’ll look like a jerk if you overact your actions on the stage.
If you know you don’t have the abilities to belt out a ballad, don’t. Opt for the upbeat and fast karaoke songs; this will not strain your vocal capabilities.
Don’t eat the microphone, this not only makes you look like a child, it is also unhygienic. Another thing is don’t play with the microphone as you sing. This will tend to lose the range and consistency of your voice with the music. Keep it in a good distance unwaveringly and only pull it a distance away when hitting the high notes.
If you find karaoke bars to be fun and yet you still don’t have the confidence, you can take basic singing lessons. You don’t have to sound like a pro but at least you’ll be confident enough to sing in karaoke bars if you know how to sing.
