Karaoke Do's & Don'ts

Stage Etiquette for a Kick-Ass Show
Karaoke is all about letting loose, cheering your friends on, and making great memories. Here are DJ Bigdog's simple rules of respect so everyone has a blast!

🌟 The Golden Rule of Karaoke 🌟

You don't have to sing like a Grammy winner—you just have to own the stage and have fun! Always support the singer in the spotlight with the same energy you'd want when it's your turn.

✅ The DO's
👏
Cheer & Applaud Every Singer Whether they sound like Freddie Mercury or a dying lawnmower, give them genuine love. It takes guts to get on that stage!
📱
Use the Digital Songbook Browse our 500,000+ songs right from your phone and submit your slip early so you get into the rotation without ever having to leave your seat!
🍻
Tip Your Bartenders & KJ The venue staff keeps the drinks flowing, and DJ Bigdog keeps the party going while he works hard to make you sound like a rockstar. Show them love!
👂
Listen for Your Name Keep an ear out as your turn approaches so you're ready when DJ Bigdog introduces you to the crowd.
🎶
Pick Songs You Love Energy and enthusiasm always beat perfection. Pick a crowd-pleaser or your favorite jam and give it all you've got!
🚫 The DON'TS
💥
NEVER Drop the Microphone Professional wireless mics cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. Whether you drop it on accident or purpose, your night is over and you'll be paying for the replacement.
🛑
Don't Hijack Someone Else's Mic Never jump onto a microphone uninvited. Only join a song if the original solo singer explicitly waves you up to sing with them.
🍷
Keep Drinks Clear of the DJ Gear One spilled beer can instantly fry thousands of dollars in sound and laptop equipment. Keep all open beverages off the DJ table!
📜
Don't Submit 10-Minute Epics Unless the crowd is ready for an 11-minute rock opera, keep your picks under 5 minutes so more people get their turn to sing.
😤
Don't Argue Over the Rotation Our rotation is the fairest and most transparent. DJ Bigdog doesn't play favorites, so wait your turn and enjoy the show!
