If you’re looking for a great weekend activity to do with friends, karaoke can be a blast. However, if you’re a little shy or don’t feel confident about your singing abilities, you might be a little reluctant to try it. Even if you can’t sing like Aretha Franklin, you can still have fun if you follow a few do’s and don’ts for picking a karaoke song.

Do:

Know your abilities.

Some songs are much harder to sing than others, so when you’re looking for that perfect song, be aware of your own vocal abilities. If you do better in a lower register, stay away from those high notes. If you’re not sure what you’re up for, pick a song you’ve sung before and go with it.

Keep it short.

When you’re looking for that perfect song, try not to choose one that’s long and involved. Not only will shorter songs keep your audience from getting bored, but they will give others the chance to take the stage, too.

Have fun.

Don’t:

Pick a song no one knows.

There are a lot of songs out there, and some of them can be pretty obscure. For everyone’s enjoyment, pick one that everyone knows so that they can appreciate the fun and humor of it. They’ll also be able to join in if you need a little help.

Take it too seriously.

Even if you don’t have a great voice, you can have the audience dancing in their seats if you get into the song. When you can laugh at yourself and go with the flow, everyone will enjoy the performance.

Get nervous.

No one is expecting an epic karaoke performance, so there’s no need to get nervous. Even if it means getting out of your comfort zone, singing in front of people can be wonderfully invigorating. The audience will be more supportive and accepting than you think.
