10 Good Reasons To Sing Karaoke!

10 Reasons You Should Sing Karaoke



1. It’s a great skill to have

Imagine how impressed your friends will be if you actually get up on stage! You can bet you’ll be the envy of people who’ve always wanted to try it but never had the guts. Whether you’re trying to make new friends or be the life of the party, knowing what you’re doing on a karaoke stage is a great ability to possess. Of course it might take some practice before you become good, but you’ll be sure to have fun along the way.

2. It’s not really that scary

Most people cite fear has the number one reason of not getting up on stage. But it’s more anticipation than fear that you have to worry about. In fact, once you get over that initial anxious stage, singing really isn’t that bad. You’ll find that your adrenaline takes over and the song will be done before you know it. Is also a good chance you’ll be dying to experience it again when you realize that it wasn’t as bad as you thought.

3. You can get better

Don’t worry if your first song doesn’t go well. Most people have a shaky first performance anyways. But just like anything in life, karaoke is something that you can get better at with practice. And if you are starting off with a decent voice already, there’s no reason why you can’t make it better. Think of the possibilities that a great singing voice can lead to!

4. You might get discovered

While it is rare, there have been cases where karaoke singers have been discovered on stage. In major urban cities, talent agents have been known to scope out karaoke bars for undiscovered talent. You have to be in the right place at the right time, but it will all be worth it someone notices you.

5. A great way to spend time with friends

Even if you don’t want to sing, a karaoke bar can be a great place to hang out. After all, it’s likely to have everything you need for a fun night on the town. You’ve got drinks, good company, live entertainment, and great music. Simply hanging back and watching other people sing can be a great way to spend some time.




6. You can have fun parties

If you’re uncomfortable with the thought of singing in front of strangers, then why not do it at home? If fact, some karaoke fans have never sung a note in a professional bar at all. They limit their activities to home parties which can be just as fun. You get to choose your guest list, you compile the song choices, and you determine the theme of the party. It’s a great way to celebrate something special or just a regular Saturday night with people you like.

7. So many songs to sing

It often comes down to song choice, so think about the type of music you like. If you’re always singing a particular song in the shower, that’s a good choice to try on stage. Or maybe there’s a classic tune that you always hum whenever you’re feeling happy. Picking the right song can mean the difference between an average performance and doing something spectacular on stage.

8. It’s affordable

While the first karaoke machines were expensive, you can find great deals that are incredibly affordable today. Just like with any other type of modern technology, prices have come down with time. You no longer have to spend hundreds of dollars for the best machine on the market, and even 50 bucks will get you a pretty decent model.

9. If kids can do it, so can you

Did you know one of the fastest-growing fan bases of karaoke is kids? Young people and children don’t have as many hangups as adults. They’re not worried about being embarrassed, they just want to have fun. They’re inspired by what they see on YouTube and musical artists getting discovered on the Internet. They are eager to seeing justice anyone else, and it’s fun to watch their excitement when it’s all said and done.

10. Make new friends

A lot of outsiders don’t realize there is an incredible culture when it comes to karaoke. People who frequent bars become fast friends, even if they’re a little competitive. There are strong social circles with people who share interests and musical tastes. If you’re looking for a way to connect with others, or to make new friends, karaoke is the perfect way to do it.

So how about it, are you ready to try karaoke now? Doing it at home is a lot less nerve-racking and you can click here to find some wonderful systems that will fit your budget. You don’t have to go overboard with an expensive machine, and even a simple one will provide you hours of fun with your entire family.

Singing Tips from Karaoke-Version Site: but remember you never have to practice having fun - Just do it!

Singing tips: the jaw

05/11/2014
Among other parts of your body that are used when singing, the jaw is not the first one we usually think about. It's usually when not working properly that we become conscious of how important it is. Indeed, when stressed or under pressure, like before starting a karaoke or on stage for a concert, we can feel the resistance due to the tension in our muscles. As well as a tight throat, tight jaw becomes an obstacle for the diffusion of the sound.

A great attention to your jaw must be provided even before singing. Like a professional athlete, you'll need to warm up and stretch your jaw to get it flexible and get passed the tension. We're not saying you need to be a Jim Carrey, but simple exercises will be enough.

Exercise #1 : let-it-go

The easiest and most natural exercise is to let your jaw go. Open your mouth slowly (don't break anything) and keep your lower jaw hanging towards your neck. Your sex-appeal will be reduced to 0 for a while and you will look silly but it will relax your muscles between your jaws. Put one finger on each junction between both jaws and try to feel the hole that just appeared. Keep your fingers on it for about 10 seconds.

Exercise #2 : massaging

Put your index and middle finger at the back of your cheeks, next to your ears. Open your mouth slowly until you feel a small bump in your jaw. Massage your jaw where your fingers are, not too hard though. You should soon feel an urge to yawn. Don't refrain it, yawning means your jaw needs to relax.

Exercise #3 : rest your neck

Put your hands back your head, on your neck, so that you support your head. Release the muscles of your head. Your hands only support your head now. Sing like this, you should feel your jaw relaxing and your singing gain confidence.

Exercise #4 : reading

Talk out loud words containing the long « o » ([o:]). For instance, « rose », « pose », « close », « vote ». You jaw will work in a position that will allow it to relax.

Practice those exercises just before singing, and you should quickly be able to tell the difference and improve your singing.
