Last week, I made my annual State Fair pilgrimage. My partner and I went on a steamy hot Monday, so most of our time was spent indoors looking at 4-H Club dioramas. However, on our walk to and from the car, we were serenaded by some of the worst karaoke singing I've ever heard. The stage was strategically set up right near the gate, so everyone parked in that area would be forced to hear the nervous, monotonous mumbling of unconfident singers attempting 'Uptown Funk.'
The experience inspired me to give you my tips and tricks to giving a standing ovation-worthy karaoke performance. As anyone who has ever had the misfortune of watching me up on the stage while I act out one of my signature jams can attest, I have zero vocal talent. Like, off-key singing along to The Ramones bad. I'd be the guy on one of those 'America Loves Singing!' competition TV shows who would be brought on just to get laughed at. BUT- I can almost always get an applause and a few high fives afterwards, so I must be doing something right.
