How You Should Run A Proper Karaoke Business - DJ KJ

By Isaac Anderson

With karaoke becoming one of the fastest new trends in amusement, it takes with it some original language. For example if you are the Host, then you can dub yourself as a KJ, meaning karaoke jockey. If you are young to the business, and have just been given your 1st contract it doesnt matter how sure-footed you are, there will still be some jitters. Its different when you and a crew of acquaintances got together for a night of fun and some jokes. Even So, karaoke is challenging business there is money involved here.

Technically this is your business and should be carried out in a business manner. First before you even leave home, make sure all of your karaoke equipment is functioning properly, and is clean and respectable. Make a check list of everything you are going to demand for your evening of amusement. Have plenty of pencils for inditing out requests, and make sure they are sharpened. Dont leave getting yourself prepared till the last minute. If you do for sure you will end up forgetting something. Thats not too bad if youre only going five hours from home, but if its more than 5 hours away it could be unfortunate.

Know exactly what the dress code is for the event you are playing at. If its a wedding ceremony you actually dont want to be showing up in blue jeans. Dress accordingly. Get In early and set up your equipment, as its much simpler to set up with less people around, particularly where children are involved. All minors get excited about karaoke, and if they are all gathered by the time you get there, you will likely be swarmed in a good natured way.

Once all your karaoke machine and system equipment is ready and if the party does not start out for sometime, ascertain if you can block off your area. Individuals are intrigued with the karaoke setup, and you dont want your equipment touched. If manageable mingle with the people a little bit. This will be effective for you due to the fact that you wont feel so strange when you start your show. It will also loosen the crowd up a little bit, and they wont feel so timid at getting up to participate. Also try to get a sense for the type of musical style thats going to be of the most interest.

Set Out at the time you are scheduled to start, otherwise your audience is going to get restless, and some of them may leave, particularly if there are other activities going on. You will have your own way and your own approach, just stay with that. Make absolutely sure everyone knows how to register to sing. Have your paper and pencils out where they can be seen, and some method for them to return them to you. Its very important to retain them in order as people get upset when they are waiting forever to get up to sing, but their buddy has already been up on stage two or three times.

Go all out because using your imaginativeness is where the entertaining begins. Bring a camera around and treat party-goers like starlets for the night or give away amazing prizes to the most talented singer and let the audience decide.
