Karaoke 101: Advice for a Fun Time

Choose a song that you and your partner both enjoy. If you’re singing a duet, pick a song that highlights you and your singing partner’s talents. Remember, you both want to shine! This might mean picking a song with a soprano and alto part, or a song with one part that sings more than the other if one of you is feeling shy.^{[1]

- Talk to your partner before hitting the stage. While surprises can be fun, make sure they’re comfortable with the song choice ahead of time.
Read the room—what’s the vibe of the venue and audience? If there are a lot of kids in the audience, you might want to stray away from a super sexy song. If you’re singing at a bar, it may be acceptable to get a little crazy. Go with your gut!^{[2]

If you’re singing karaoke (whether with a partner or by yourself), give it your all! It’s all about confidence. Even if you can’t sing, pretend like you can. The best performances are the ones that show off your personality.^{[3]
