If having a wonderful time at karaoke with your friends is something you want to do, there’s no reason to let fear stop you. You may not be the best singer in the room but following these simple tips will help you have an awesome time. 

4 Ways to Feel Good at Karaoke

1. Have a Go-To Song

One of the common mistakes newbie karaoke fans make is picking a different song every time they sign up. Just like any other performance, yours will get better the more you practice. So, pick one go-to song that is yours. This can be your pocket ace anytime you find yourself at karaoke where you can’t afford to fail miserably, like a work party or wedding reception.

2. Know Your Audience

Every karaoke room is different. Some places are all old school country; others are a real 90s rap kind of crowd. When picking your song, try to read the room and choose something you think the audience will like. Crowd support can go a long way to feeling happy and confident up on stage. 

3. Pick a Song People Know 

People go to karaoke to sing loudly along to whatever you pick. If you suffer from insecurity about your performance or singing ability, pick a song the whole bar knows. Nothing will make you feel cooler than an entire room of strangers singing along with you, and it easily masks any off-tune crooning on your part. 

4. Have Fun

The most important component of karaoke is having fun. An audience can see when someone on stage is petrified, and it doesn’t make for an entertaining show. But if you’re loose and relaxed, then even if you sound terrible, the crowd will be on your side. Remember, you’re not being graded on your performance, so smile and enjoy yourself, just like you would when singing in the shower or in your car.
