If you go out singing you will notice very quickly that the karaoke host is your friend. They are there to announce your name and get you up to sing as soon as they can. With that said, no two hosts are the same. Indeed, personalities will differ between karaoke hosts. Some KJ’s will be sweet and almost nurturing. They care to know if it’s your first time. They may suggest songs for you to try. They may even go as far as to sing along with you on stage, so that you feel more comfortable. Then on the other hand, you may come across a karaoke host who seems cold, uninterested and standoffish. They just might not be too warm and fuzzy.

Another host might be a real techie. They really get into the gear, the sound mix, the reverb on the mic, or the equipment and lighting on stage. They might barely make eye contact with you, except to point over to a clip board enabling you to write down a song request. BTW -This is a sign post to the guest that they intend for you to be quick and efficient. There’s also the wild and crazy, I’m just here to get my drink on, so excuse me while I get paid to party karaoke host. The wild and crazy loves drinks as a tip. Are you that surprised?

And lastly, there’s the karaoke host who thinks they are the show, the singer extraordinaire who must themselves sing every 20 minutes. Uh-huh, they are the show…not you. We can all agree, there is a wide range of personalities and customer service levels that you could encounter when you go out to sing.

Which kind of host am I am I? I am the game show presenter style host. I keep things all moving forward. More on that somewhere hidden on these pages.
