In case you're in a bar and get the motivation to get up and sing karaoke, you should read this.
"By day, Harvey Silkowitz, 44, is a New York City lawyer. By night, he sings karaoke--as H-Bomb." here are his tips to help engage the crowd:
** CHOOSE THE RIGHT MATERIAL. The song needs to be suitable to your vocal range. If it is packed house, pick something more upbeat. I go through the song books and try to sing the song in my head. I pick artists who don't sing well.
** HAVE FUN ON STAGE" It is contagious. Move around, smile. If people see you're having agood time (as opposed to stiff and scared, they will join in. It also helps to sing a crowd favorite.
There will be a list of the Top Ten Karaoke songs on Monday's blog.
** WORK THE CROWD make eye contact.
I think that perhaps Mr. Silkovitz is the kind of karaoke singer I hate to follow, one that sings well. I especially don't like the ones who don't even have to look at the words.
