Tips For Singers

 

This is not a Talent Show. Do not be embarrassed. Have Fun! Give it a shot!!

 

Choose a song you are familiar with or that you feel is within your range. Preferably a song you know most of the words to. It will ease the stress level.

 

Enunciate your words. Don’t scream into the microphone.

 

Regulate your breath. Breath from your stomach not your chest.

 

Focus on a person or group of people.

 

Smile. Put on a happy face and use Body Gestures.

 

Perfect your own style. Do not try to necessarily imitate the singer of the song you choose. Concentrate more on staying in key utilizing your own voice.

 

Try to relax your vocal chords. Do not strain your voice. If you cannot reach a certain note or key of your song, ask the karaoke host to raise or lower the song key. Most all karaoke players today have a key changer.

 

If you would like help singing your song ask the host/hostess or invite someone from the audience. If this is your first singing experience, you may feel more comfortable with a group for support.

 

Do not walk in front of the speakers or point the microphone in the direction of the speakers as this will cause feedback.

One final note:  Please do not scream into the microphone, it not only makes you sound bad and hurts the audiences ears, it can destroy the system which would totally shut down the show and all the fun for everyone.
