Steps
How to Get Better at Karaoke
-
1Sing a song you’re comfortable with. One of the best ways to improve your karaoke skills is to sing something you know. Pick a song that isn’t super challenging for your vocal range, preferably one you know really well. In other words, go for that song you sing in the shower constantly![1]
-
2Practice, practice, practice. If you really want to impress someone with your karaoke skills, the best thing you can do is practice. Rehearse your go-to karaoke song in the comfort of your own home or while driving to and from work every day. The more comfortable you are with the notes, the more confident you’ll appear on stage.[2]
-
3Know your audience. Before stepping on stage, consider who you’re singing to. Is it a group of colleagues, close friends, or family members? Make sure the song you pick is appropriate for the audience. This can help you be more confident and impressive.[3]
- For example, you might not want to choose a super sexy song to sing in front of your boss or mother-in-law.
-
4Be ready to fail. We hate to break it to you, but failure is a part of life—it’s normal. If your voice cracks or you say the wrong lyric, no worries! You’re ultimately singing karaoke to have fun. It’s very likely that the only person judging you is yourself, so don’t be afraid to make mistakes. After all, the only way you improve and get better is to make mistakes.[4]
-
5Own it and have fun! Whatever you do on stage, do it with confidence—don’t hesitate in your decisions! Karaoke is supposed to be fun. At the end of the day, this isn’t a singing competition. You don’t need to show that you’re the best singer, but you can prove that you’re the most fun! So, go on that stage, have fun, and show off your confidence.
