By: Chelsea M Butterworth

1)The ‘Banquet Song’

The final choice of song will need to be within your vocal range and level of experience. Straining and squeaking through your chosen Whitney Housten track is going to make people notice for the wrong reason, don’t take on a song that’s too much for you! A song that lifts your spirit will work for you because your genuine enjoyment will make you sparkle. You need to find your ‘Banquet Song,’ also known as a Juhachiban in Japan, this is the track that will never fail to surprise the audience and create some well deserved attention.

2)Practice

You have limited experience of the Karaoke scene then getting a bit of time with the hair brush will give you a greater confidence on the day. If you get the opportunety to then make a recording of your singing and give yourself a mark out of ten and even a second opinion could help you to feel less nervous.

3)Warm Up Those Vocal Chords

When your at the venue ensure your voice is well rested and when your nearly ready to perform then warm up your voice by humming along to the song that is on before you giving a miss to any notes you can’t hit.

4)Drink Plenty Of Water

Your voice should also benefit from a drink of water to keep your throat well hydrated, if you smoke take it easy on the cigarettes too, it won’t improve your vocal talents and unless you’re doing a Jonny Cash tribute. The secret to enhancing your vocal talent is drinking lots of water it will help your voice sound as good as it can do.

5)Sing Like No-one Is Watching

The most important thing is to stay relaxed and have a positive approach, if you’re too panicky it will be reflected in the first big note you hit. So concentrate on breathing deeply and staying steady and calm, let your track start and then let yourself go, just focus on giving the performance.
