That said, let’s talk about how to make your karaoke sessions much better.

Firstly, as I said, you don’t need to know much about music. You don’t need to be a trained singer if you just want to go sing karaoke. The main thing you need for singing karaoke to sound well is to sing on key and in tune. And this is much, much easier to do if you choose songs that are in your range. This is, of course, if you are just starting and you just want to make it easier for now. Of course, there are ways that you can work around it if you want to sing different songs that are harder there might be a little bit more training involved, but this is important because usually when you sing in a karaoke bar you don’t have the chance to change the key. Sometimes you do, more often than not you don’t. That means that if you want to sing a Rihanna song you are going to have to sing her in her key.

So it is better if you can choose a song that you can perceive more as in your range.

Secondly, we talked about being  in a loud environment and how that can probably make you force your voice a bit.

Working around that will require a little bit more technique. So one of the things that you can do to reduce this problem is two things. Number one, choose to sing  at a medium volume.

Usually, when you’re singing karaoke, you do have a mic and you are going to want to be passionate and sing a lot, but try to find a middle ground in which you express your emotions and you have a lot of fun without compromising your voice health.

Something that will help you control the volume at which you sing and the pressure that you use is the way you breathe.

 That has a big impact on vocal compression, the way the vocal cords come together, and also in the way that the muscles around your neck work. Those are the external muscles, we don’t want to get them too involved in the voice production and you can control that by controlling your breath support.

Lastly, let’s talk about, and don’t hate me for this, but working around your alcohol consumption actually works really well. I’m not saying don’t drink alcohol, but what I am saying is that if you drink alcohol, you need to take more water. Because you need to get a balance.

You need your vocal cords to be hydrated. And when you drink alcohol, your vocal cords are going to tend to dehydrate. And so make sure that between songs, you are not just having alcohol around it and you, have access to water that will be ideal. Also, keep a mind that it takes about 20 minutes from the time you drink water to the vocal cords to be hydrated.

If your vocal cords are dehydrated, you are going to have to make more effort to sound and that is going to make your voice more tired.

Let me know in the comments about your experience singing karaoke. I would love to know.
