While many people believe that karaoke in Baton Rouge only involves singing at a bar – this simply isn’t true. Many more establishments like restaurants offer this favorite past time where any age range can get up in front of a crowd and sing their favorite songs. Isn’t it nice to know that you no longer have to listen to people who’ve been forced into singing that have had a few too many drinks?

And although there are still quite a few bars and restaurants that offer DJ services in Baton Rouge for this fun service, for those who prefer to have a few drinks to muster up their courage to sing, there are many great establishments where the entire family can enjoy singing. So what’s so fun about this now extremely popular form of entertainment?

Well, not only can you enjoy an evening out with the entire family, you can also choose to stay at home and sing if your budget allows it. There are many very inexpensive karaoke machines that will allow you and the kids to belt out your favorite tunes without having to worry about what other people think. It’s also a great way to get the kids comfortable with singing while building their confidence as well.

• But, if you prefer to get out of the house, you’ll want to bring a video camera or at the very least a digital camera. That way you can take a lot of pictures of the kids and have memories that they can treasure for years to come.

• If you haven’t gotten as far as starting a family yet, you can ask your friends to join you for a night of singing fun. It’s always more fun to sing with friends rather than sing with people you don’t even know, so the more friends you invite, the more fun you’ll have.

• Remember, not all of your friends (or family members) will want to sing, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be singing just because they don’t want to. Show off your talents or poke fun at songs that will grab everyone’s attention. After all, you’re there to have fun!

And don’t fret about not having a terrific voice just because you heard another karaoke singer sing a song perfectly. Karaoke is not about having that great voice. It’s about having a great time and visiting with your friends.



Be nice and clap after every singer finishes his or her song. Maybe you didn’t like the song or maybe you just don’t feel like clapping, but do it anyway. It’s always nice to get a positive reaction from the crowd no matter how good of a singer you are and no matter how fantastic the Baton Rouge karaoke crowd may be.
