How to Become a Karaoke Master
Choose a shorter song. When picking a song for karaoke, ask yourself, 'Will this song keep the audience engaged?' There's nothing worse than getting stuck on a never-ending tune. Go for a song that you can sing from start to finish without losing momentum.
Pick a song that suits your voice. Even seasoned singers can sound off-key if they choose a song that doesn’t match their vocal range. Select a song that feels comfortable and within your capabilities.
- For example, attempting Wicked the Musical’s “Defying Gravity” might not be a good idea unless you can nail those soaring high notes.
Consider your audience. Before stepping on stage, think about who’s in the crowd. Are you performing for your family, colleagues, or a group of strangers at a party? Understanding your audience helps you choose the right song and sing with greater ease.
- For instance, you may want to avoid a risqué song at a corporate event, or pick a breakup anthem if your ex is in the crowd.
Choose a song that resonates with you. When picking a song, choose one you feel a personal connection with. What can you sing with passion? This can add more depth and emotion to your performance.
- If you're going through a tough breakup, you might belt out “Thank U, Next” by Ariana Grande or “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor.
Don’t be afraid to fail. It might sound like a cliché, but failure is part of the journey—so embrace it! Not everyone nails it the first time, and that's perfectly fine. If karaoke is something you love, keep at it! The more you practice, the better you’ll become.
