The best talent to show is your singing expertise. You don't have to worry, because you are not required to enroll in any sort of conservatory of music.

There is available a simple instrument called the "karaoki" which is light to carry around. You can connect it to a television set and with just a few maneuvers to set the settings, and plugging the power cord to the power source, you are ready to sing.

A printed song hits are shown through the television set with an accompanying musci to every song and you can just follow the words with your personal singing voice.

But there are a few great tips to follow if you want to be a karaoki star singer. It starts with making a decision to be a competitive karaoki singer. Then you have to plan the strategy of your performance to become a karaoki star singer that will be entertaining to your group of riends. These plans and strategies are discussed in this article.

Have you ever dreamed of being able to sing like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, Barbra Streisand, Madonna or Patsy Cline? If you have, your are about to realize your dreams-- maybe not to perfectly duplicate what these fanmous singers did, but a least you can enjoy the molody of their songs with you actually singing them.

You may ask, how can you do this? Well, you know that technology will make that possible for you. There is a clever instrument that consists of a microhone with a space between the microphone head and the handle with numbers, letters, arrows and signs that you can direct with a touch of one finger to make you deliver a song of various artists or famous singers.

The instrument I mentioned above is called the "karaoki". This great product of technology contains a chip that carries hundreds or even thousands of songs popularized by famous singers. You just plug this instruments to the corresponding plugs in the televeision set and to a power source, and just by following simple instructions, you are then ready to sing whatever song you choose.

There is a book that comes with the set. In this book are printed the instructions on how to use the karaoki, and it has the names of the songs with their corresponding numbers and artists that popularized them.

I got my set of this wonderful karaoki instrument from a distributor of my old country, the Philippines. But is is now available in the internet. You can just go to google and search "karaoki" or "magic sing".

To be an effective karaoki singer, you have to follow these 6 great tips:

1. It is preferable to have your own karaoki set. Or you can go to your friend's house who owns the system. The idea is you have to be able gto practice your songs. The karaoki system includes the scoring system that automatically scores your grade after your performance.

To develop your voice and technic, you have to practice, practice, practice. Why do you think Michael Jordan became the No.1 basketball star? The answer is repeated practice, countless times. That's the

only way excellence is achieved.

2. You have to try several songs of several artists and test your own voice range with that of the artist's. You cannot be a Pavaroti if you do not have his range of voice. So explore and listen to the various songs and select the possible songs that you may abe able to use.

3. Once you have selected at least a dozen of songs, try singing them. Follow the words as they are printed on the TV screen, and observe and follow the "tempo" or "timing" of the melody. This is one of the ways to have a higher score.

4. Select at least three songs and master them. How do you master them? Again, practice, practice, practice. After you have mastered three songs, select the best one as " your special song". And choose the second best song as a reserve, just in case the crowd wants you to sing one more time.

5. While you are practicing, get somebody else to listen to you and act as your critique so that you can

improve your technique or performance. Your best friend or your spouse who have your best interests is the best source of opinion about your performance.

6. The best etiquette or rule to follow during the karaoki session: do not monopolize the singing sessions. Give chances to other singers. Remember how to be good in conversation, "don't be a bore". To shine as a karaoki star, sing your best song, and maybe followed by your second best. And the audience will crave for more of your performance. So stop there, you do not want to over-expose your acquired new talent.
