What You Should Know When Running A Karaoke Business

By Harry Michaels


With karaoke becoming one of the fastest new movements in amusement, it takes with it some new language. For example if you are the Host, then you can dub yourself as a KJ, meaning karaoke jockey. If you are raw to the business, and have just been given your starting contract it doesnt matter how resourceful you are, there will still be some jitters. Its different when you and a gang of acquaintances got together for a night of fun and some jokes. However, karaoke is challenging business there is money involved here.

Technically this is your business and should be taken out in a business style. First before you even leave home, make sure all of your karaoke equipment is functioning properly, and is clean and presentable. Make a check list of everything you are going to require for your evening of amusement. Have plenty of pencils for penning out requests, and make sure they are sharpened. Dont leave getting yourself coordinated till the last minute. If you do for sure you will end up forgetting something. Thats not too bad if youre only going five minutes from home, but if its more than 5 hours away it could be ill-fated.

Know incisively what the dress code is for the event you are playing at. If its a marriage you genuinely dont want to be showing up in blue jeans. Dress accordingly. Come early and set up your equipment, as its much easier to set up with less people around, especially where youngsters are involved. All children get crazy about karaoke, and if they are all gathered by the time you get there, you will probably be swarmed in a good natured way.

Once you are all set up, if you are not going to be starting for awhile, check if you can block off your area. Individuals are fascinated with the karaoke setup, and you dont want your equipment touched. If workable mix with the people a little bit. This will be good for you as you wont feel so strange when you begin your show. It will also relax the crowd up a little bit, and they wont feel so timid at getting up to participate. Likewise try to get a feeling for the type of music genre that the majority of the people will love. If it is an older crowd, try playing oldies and music from their time.

Start Out at the time you are scheduled to start out, otherwise your audience is going to get restless, and some of them may exit for the doors, especially if there are other parties going on. You will have your own flair and your own approach, just stay with that. Make utterly sure everyone knows how to register to sing. Have your paper and pencils out where they can be seen, and some method for them to return them to you. Its very essential to retain them in order as people get stressed when they are waiting forever to get up to sing, but their pal has already been up on stage two or three times.

Go all out as using your imagination is where the entertaining starts. Bring a television camera around and treat party-goers like starlets for the night or give away awesome prizes to the most talented singer and let the audience decide.
