How to Make Your Performance Funny

PDF download Download Article
  1. Get extra laughs from the crowd by dancing and acting out the lyrics. So, you’re hopping on stage just to make your friends giggle or impress your crush with your comedic skills, huh? Well, if you really want to put on a silly show, here are a few tips for the best funny performance:
    • Dance. A choreographed number thrown into the middle of your song is a great way to capture the crowd! Plus, you get bonus points for being extra silly with awkward twists, turns, and hand movements.
    • Act out the lyrics. Don’t be afraid to be overdramatic! Be melodramatic with a sad song, or give a bad impression of the original artist.
    • Have a costume change. If you’re planning ahead, consider switching outfits or changing up your wardrobe mid-performance. Revealing a sparkling jumpsuit underneath your business getup will be a crowd stopper!
    • Use props. The microphone isn’t the only thing you have to work with. Grab a glass from the bar, borrow a friend’s hat, or bring a feathery boa from home to amp up your performance.
    • Work with the space. Own the space you have to perform in. If allowed, walk on a table or move closer to the audience. Don’t be afraid to strut across that stage!

How to Get Better at Karaoke

PDF download Download Article
  1. 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]
  2. 2
    Practice, 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]
  3. 3
    Know 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.
  4. 4
    Be 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]
  5. 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 .
