Quick tips for nailing a karaoke performance
- Warm up: hum and do light scales for 5 minutes.
- Choose within your range: pick songs that sit comfortably for most of the melody.
- Pacing: start relaxed, build energy—don’t rush lyrics.
- Audience play: pick at least two big singalongs for the crowd.
- Mic technique: hold 2–3 cm from the mic, reduce popping on “P” and “B” sounds.
