如何修炼成K歌之王:KTV聚会的10个小建议

1. Choose a song you have an emotional connection to, not necessarily one you think you ought to sing.
1. 要选择一首情感上有共鸣的歌，未必要是你觉得应该唱的歌。

If you like the song and it has meaning for you, this will come across and you will make a better connection with your audience.
如果你喜欢一首歌，这首歌对你有特殊意义，你能感受的到，也能把情感更好地传递给听众。

2. If possible, practice the song ahead of time to get an idea of whether the key of the original recording works for you.
2. 如果可能的话，提前唱唱看这首歌，看看原版录音的音调是否合适。

If not, many karaoke situations have machines that can raise or lower the key of your song.
如果不合适的话，很多KTV都可以调整乐曲的音调。

3. Your main focus in singing is telling a story.
3. 唱歌的重点在于讲故事。

Spend some time with the lyrics and get an idea of what the song is about. You will make a better connection with the audience if you know what emotions you want to portray in your performance.
多揣摩一下歌词，了解这首歌唱得到底是什么内容。如果你知道唱歌时传达的是什么样的情感的话，你和听众之间的联系会更加紧密。

4. Focus the energy on the audience.
4. 把精力集中在听众上。

If you need to look at the monitor for lyrics, don't keep your attention there the entire time -- look up and at the audience as often as you comfortably can.
就算你需要看歌词也不要一直盯着屏幕——在你觉得自在的前提下尽可能多抬头看看观众。

5. If your anxiety level is high, consider singing with at least one other person.
5. 如果你很紧张，那就考虑一下和别人一起唱。

There is safety in numbers and this can be an interim step to singing solo.
人多了就能安心了，这也是开始独唱前的过渡阶段。
