Karaoke is a popular form of entertainment. There are so many places where you can go and enjoy a karaoke song!
If you have a fun karaoke song library, you can run an endless series of karaokes at home! If you do not have a specific karaoke song library, you can still create one.
You do not need to be professionally trained to run a home-karaoke party. Just get some paper and a pencil or pen!
There are many ways to set up a home-karaoke party. You can do it in stages, or you can just start now and finish later. We will talk about the stages and how to do it in starting this article.

Buy microphones
Before you can start karaoke, you must buy some microphones. These can be bought at most sound companies or online.
Many places offer special deals where you can download or have installed on your device the app that allows you to purchase microphones. This is very helpful as some places do not allow you to use real voices on the microphone due to licensing concerns.
Some people suggest using a cheap plastic cup instead of a microphone as the case may be less expensive, but higher quality materials are required for the case and pronunciation accuracy.
Buy lyric sheets
In order to be able to do karaoke at home, you must be able to buy some lyric sheets. These are printed sheets with the names and locations of various singers and their songs.
Many popular names use these outlets as subscription services offer them, but if you do not have one of these, you can still set up a karaoke room!
Many online sites offer them as well, which is even more affordable. You can pick from basic lists such as “serenade” or romantic songs, or more specific ones such as a husband-and-wife team singing love songs.
Once you have these out, you are ready to start setting up your room! First, lay out all of your materials clearly.
Load music onto a device
Once you’ve decided on a song, it’s time to load the device onto which the music will be played. You can use a computer, tablet, or even a smartphone!
The way music is loaded onto devices depends on which device you are using to play the music.
Computer-style devices have the music attached to them via ancd-format files (ie. iTunes would have DRM protected songs). This is why you can buy and download songs from iTunes and then transfer them onto your device.
Mobile-style devices do not have music attached to them but can be used to edit music already. This is what you would use for Karaoke!
Edit: We should clarify that Karaoke! Is not done by being physically on stage singing, but by editing the video and adding effects such as freeze frames, motion blurs, and smoke effects.
Set up a space for karaoke
It is very important to set up a space for karaoke at home. This can be as simple as a room you use for fun and games or a TV room you use for entertaining.
Whatever space you have, make sure it is safe and comfortable. You want to feel safe enough to come into your space and enjoy the karaoke, right?
Make sure there are adequate supplies available such as alcohol-based Karaoke drinks, Singing Apparels, and Sound Systems. These are important to get out of the house because they may be needed during the event!
Then, make sure your home-made decorations look nice enough or have an appropriate place in the party.
Decide on a playlist
Before you start trying out your new karaoke set up at home, it is important to decide on a playlist to use. There are several reasons to create a playlist to use with your new set up.
First, if you have guests attending your party, you can put on a favorite song list they can access via the smart phone app. You would just need to download the app and then connect it to the sound system.
Or if you are the DJing, you have the songs ready to go! They can just pick them up and operate them on the sound system or phone app.

Before you can start singing, you must be able to properly perform an a capella song. This means learning the lyrics, singing along with the music, and practicing!
A capella songs do not have chords, so it is up to the singer to create a melody. It may sound easy at first, but it takes some time and practice to get good at it.
The best time to learn how to sing a capella is while watching some TV or while sitting in front of the stereo.
