Tips
and Tricks For Singers
Proper position of the microphone is very
important…
A
Karaoke microphone is directional and most of your voice will be picked up from
the top of the microphone. Remember, the microphone should never be more than 2
inches from your mouth. The microphone should never be aimed at any of the
speakers or a loud feed-back will result, this could damage the equipment or
your hearing.
Would you like to get up and
sing but you’re nervous or intimidated?
-Everyone
can sing, it’s just a matter of picking the right songs for your voice, a
little practice and you will soon have the courage to be one of the singers at
your favorite Karaoke event.
-Remember
that you don’t have to be a great singer, Karaoke is for fun and the more you
sing the better you get.
-If
you feel intimidated at first, ask one of the other singers to join you on
stage.
