Stage Etiquette & Pro Mic Guidelines
Essential advice for every singer stepping up to the microphone
✅ The DO's (Be A Legend)
Hold The Mic Close (1-2 Inches)
Sing right into the grill. Wireless stage mics love proximity for deep, rich vocal tone and studio clarity.
Cheer On Every Singer
Whether someone sings like Freddie Mercury or can't carry a tune, support everyone brave enough to grab the mic!
Tip Your Bartenders & Servers
Venues keep karaoke nights alive because patrons buy drinks and food. Show love to the team taking care of you.
Own Your Song With Confidence
Have fun with it! Energy and heart always beat technical perfection on the karaoke stage.
❌ The DON'TS (Avoid These)
Never Drop Or Bang The Microphone
Professional wireless mics cost hundreds of dollars each. Never drop a mic or tap it like a hammer.
Don't Cup The Microphone Head
Wrapping your fingers over the grill causes harsh audio feedback squeals and muffles your vocal tone. Hold it by the handle!
Don't Point The Mic At The Speakers
Walking in front of or pointing the microphone directly into a stage monitor causes ear-piercing feedback.
Don't Heckle Other Singers
Karaoke is about having fun and escaping the stress of the workweek. Zero tolerance for heckling or host drama.
