Key Tips for Company Karaoke Nights

Picking Good Songs

Doing well at company karaoke starts with picking the right songs. Choose famous tunes from the 80s to 2000s that are okay for work. Steer clear of bad words and pick songs that show your company’s good side. Think about classic rock, fun pop songs, and big movie songs.

When to Sing

Timing your song right matters a lot. Start singing 2-3 hours into the event, when people are most awake but not yet tired. This is the best time for more people to join in and have fun.

Stay Professional

Keep it professional all through the event. Drink responsibly, switching between water and drinks. Remember, while karaoke is fun, you should still act like you are at work.

How to Use the Mic

Know how to hold the mic 2-3 inches away at a 45-degree angle for the best sound. If you miss a word, stay cool and keep a good image.

Creating Team Spirit

Help build a strong team by supporting your work friends as they sing. Join in group songs and be excited about everyone’s song choices. This helps everyone feel together and lifts the mood of the event.

Best Ways to Go About It

• Kick things off by learning a few popular songs
• Control your breath well
• Keep an eye on how the room feels
• Support singers of all levels
• Watch your boundaries
