    How can gain the confidence to sing Karaoke alone if I'm used to singing with friends?
    Community Answer
    Take a deep breath and imagine your favorite person in the audience sooner or later you will forget about there's people there. The people will cheer you on if they sense this is your first solo and that you are nervous. You can even mention it's your first time or that you're just beginning and need their support.

    The majority of bars and pubs will have lyrics and instrumentals available for you on a screen. The lyrics will start off usually white and turn blue as you sing the word and will stay blue if you need to hold a note.
  • Question
    How can I sing in the correct pitch on stage if I can't hear my voice?
    Community Answer
    This takes some time and the trick is to work on it at home excessively. Play a note, then bring your voice to that pitch. Notice how the muscles feel and what your throat and vocal chords feel like when you sing the note. Do that exercise with one note at a time for a few minutes every day and you will eventually have a better idea of what the pitches feel like rather than sound like.

  • Question
    Can the karaoke operator adjust the songs to my key?
    Alexandra Summers
    Community Answer
    Generally, no. The songs are usually only recorded in one key, so the notes cannot be transposed. However, most karaoke songs work with many ranges and voice types, and you can always sing an octave above/below the intended key if you find that's best for you. The harmonies will still work as the notes are the same.
  • Question
    Can I change the key of a karaoke song to suit my voice?
    Community Answer
    Unfortunately, it will not match what you are trying to sing. You'll get confused and the karaoke will end up going too fast, too slow and you won't get back on track. It'll be all over the place! Try to stay on track and feel confident with what you are singing, but if you can, choose your own song and choose a song where every little key and every little note and voice change is suitable for your voice.

    How can I sound nice and beautiful with a microphone?

    Practice singing on that type of microphone. Typically, vocal mics have a better bass response up close, and are more high-end when you're a few inches away from the mouth piece. Just be confident and sing.
