Karaoke Don'ts

• Don't spit on the microphone.

• Don't pick songs you are not familiar with. If it is your first time (a virgin) try a song that sounded good in your shower.
• Don't pick songs for other people unless you want them to try it first so you can sound better when it comes to your turn.
• Don't sing unless invited by the singer or the Karaoke host.
• Don't swing the microphones by their cords or juggle wireless microphones, you may knock out your competition.

• Don't tap on or scream into the microphone the amp will cut you off.
• Don't stand with your microphone on or in front of the speaker unless you want to go deaf.
• Last but not least, don't make your Karaoke Host mad if you want to sing at all.
