You and your friends are going to a Korean Karaoke bar again. If you want to make sure everyone has a good time, here are do’s and don’ts you’ll want to keep in mind.
Be there on time
If you and your friends are going to arrive separately at the venue, make sure you all get there on time, especially if you’ve already booked a room. You only have a few hours of karaoke singing so make those hours count! If the room’s booked and you’re late, the establishment could give that to some other party. By the time you all arrive, you may need to wait it out.
Practice
Practice makes perfect and it’s true. If you know you’re going to a Korean Karaoke party with your friends or officemates, you’ll want to practice singing at home. Know the lyrics of the songs. That way, you’ll be performance-ready come D-Day.
Pick out winning songs
This is sound advice from Lifehack. Not all songs are going to win your audience. Pick ones that you’re sure can entertain. Go for upbeat tunes since these tend to be crowd pleasers over slow numbers. That way, you and your audience will have more fun, especially since they’re bound to sing along with you if you pick a favorite.
Don’t be nervous
Don’t take it too seriously. No one’s asking you to sing like the greats. Everyone’s there to have fun. You should too. If you’re nervous, don’t be. Use humor to counter everything. Being able to laugh at yourself and your mistakes is cool and will retain the festive and fun vibe you’ve got going all throughout the night. That’s a fun way to spend Karaoke time.
Never hog the mike
It’s all right to sing a song or two. But never hog the mike. Give everyone an equal chance to sing. If you keep getting the mike, that’s going to bore most of everyone there. It’s also inconsiderate, especially if you’re all going to share the expense. If you and your friends are going to chip in, then everybody must have equal time at the mike.
Have fun
The best advice is to just have fun. Don’t wince when someone’s voice cracks. Smile, groove or move to the beat. That’s going to be the best way to have a rollicking good time with friends, family or officemates.
