If you hate singing,my solution will not work.If you are OK with singing,but not comfortable with karaoke,it may.Why not starting karaoke alone?
People all over the world enjoy karaoke,and the entertainment has become an English word.Karaoke is supposed to relieve stress,but karaoke CAN be a stress for some people！Actually,I used to be one of them.
I did not dislike singing,but as for karaoke,there were some obstacles as below which made me hesitate to sing:
I have a low voice.
I cannot hit high notes.
Therefore,my repertoires were few.
The repertoires include some enka.or Japanese traditional style ballads which young people rarely sing.After I was embarrased a couple of times by my poor-high-note songs,I found it could not become one of my hobbies,I began to feel uncomfortable.
Then I started to reject singing at karaoke parties or bars.When my turn came,I passed the microphone to the next person.I hated to be a buzzkill,so I cheered others and tried to be the life of the party.
Though I could get through karaoke situations many times,I did feel frustrated.Karaoke became OK to me as well as a cause of little stress.This was how I dealt with the “entertainment” for almost two decades.
One day,I read an web-article on hitori karaoke,or solo karaoke. The article said that solo karaoke was booming for men and women of all ages.At a solo karaoke,you can sing anyway you want.Nobody minds your shouting or dancing.Modifying the song key is OK,It looked very attractive to me.I was not comfortable with karaoke,but it did not mean I hate singing.So I tried a solo karaoke.
It was amazing and one of the most wonderful experience in my life.I did not know that I felt great in singing my heart out.Trouble with high notes? Modify the song key! Changing the pitch could make you capable of siging any songs you like.The songs will be your repertoires.At karaoke parties you sing some of them you want to “show off”
Some people may criticize or boo when the pitch is changed.Ignore them.
Karaoke is an entertainment.An entertainment is supposed to be fun,not a cause of stress.By modifying the key,sing any songs you want to.Then karaoke will become one of your hobbies。
If you have problem with karaoke,I propose:
trying solo karaoke
modyifying and finding the song keys that matches your voice
adding to your repertoires
Enjoy karaoke as much as this guy!
