Karaoke Games
Karaoke can be great on its own, but there a variety of things you can do to change or adapt the activity to maximize your karaoke experience. These games are designed for people with karaoke machines who can play them in the privacy of their own homes. So all you will need is a good karaoke machine, a bit of ingenuity, and a group of fun karaoke friends who share in your passion for singing.
Karaoke sing along – It’s one thing to stand up in front of your friend while they watch you sing. It’s an entirely different experience to have them sing along with you in a group sing along. There is something indescribable about singing in a group when everyone knows the words (thanks to your new machine) and can fully participate. So instead of being a solo performer, you can serve as more of a conductor as you lead your friends in song. To break it up a bit you can divide your friends into smaller groups and have them sing along at different points. Then when you want the full chorus affect, give the signal and have the whole room sing. Every person can take turns and have a chance to pick a song that they like.
Fill in the blanks – Have your friends promise that they won’t look at the screen so they don’t know the words for sure. Then as you sing the song, you can pick intervals where you stop singing and it is up to your friends to fill in the blanks. This is a great game because either way it is a lot of fun. It sounds great when your friends are able to complete the lines of famous songs. And if your friends don’t know the words exactly it will still be a great laugh as they stumble their way through the lyrics. The lead singer can have a great time trying to trip up their friends and mistakes can be quickly corrected since you will have the lyrics readily available at your disposal.
Sing your own words – the great thing about karaoke tracks is that they can give accurate re-creations of your favourite songs but without the words. This means you have full creative licence to sing your own lyrics. Imagine the fun you can have when you can make up lyrics to your favourite songs. You will be able to say what you’ve always wanted in the song. There is no limit to your own creativity and encourage your friends to participate in coming up with original version of well-known songs.
Celebrity impressions – don’t just sing the songs of your favourite artists; try to sound like them too. You can come up with a dream line-up of celebrity singers to put on your won star studded contest. Let’s see if your friends can actually sound like their favourite stars or if the impressions fall short. Either way it will be a lot of fun to re-create a famous voice whether or not you can actually pull it off. Consider putting together a CD and listening to it together afterwards. Sound quality will be important for this one so you might want to get a higher-end product rather than a cheaper karaoke machine that won’t allow the sound to come through.
Karaoke Revolution – Karaoke Revolution is a game that doesn’t even require a karaoke machine of your own. It doesn’t even require you to sing! This is a game that can be found for every major video gaming console that has you trying to hits the right notes instead of the right lyrics. It’s a great group game and while not exactly like karaoke, it offers a variation that is both entertaining and potentially hilarious.
