How a karaoke night usually works

Every host has their own style, but the basic steps are simple.

1
Pick a song
Browse the host’s song list or ask for help finding something comfortable.
2
Join the singer list
Give the host your name and song. Some nights use a paper slip, an app, or a QR code.
3
Sing when you’re called
Take the mic and follow the lyrics on screen. The crowd is on your side. Perfect vocals are not required.
