Charm City Karaoke FAQs
Does it cost anything to participate?
Karaoke is free, but please consider supporting the location by enjoying items from their food & drink menu!
How does karaoke work?
This isn’t your grandpa’s karaoke – no grimy binders with outdated songs from before 1992! Jump in the queue by using our QR code to access the latest tunes. Get ideas from curated playlists, use the vocal match feature on our website, and choose from our selection of 60,000+ songs. Click “add to queue” with your name – your host will receive your song digitally and add you to the rotation. Chat with the host if you’d like to change the tempo or pitch of your song prior to singing.
What if my phone is dead?
We also accept requests for songs the old-fashioned way – go ask your host to join the queue!
My favorite song is new or kind of obscure, do you have it?
With 400+ new songs being added monthly, there is a strong possibility that we have your favorite tune. If you don’t see it on our website, please chat with the host before ruling it out.
I want to sing a song, but it’s explicit. Am I allowed?
While there are explicit songs available, this is a location-by-location decision. Generally, we try to be respectful if there are children in the audience or if the location asks us to keep it clean, but most of our venues cater to adults in the late evening.
What if I want to sing with my friend(s)?
We have two wireless microphones to share – the more the merrier!
Is there a song limit?
We keep a rotation of singers to make sure everyone gets to sing, so be sure to put your favorite song in each round and we’ll save your spot!
I chose a song, why haven’t I been called up yet?
Chances are you are coming up in the rotation, but if you’re concerned that your song didn’t go through, ask your host!
I’m considering going to karaoke night, but I’m not a great singer. Can I still participate?
Yes! Everyone is welcome, no matter their experience level! This isn’t Star Search; we’re just here to have fun!
This is my first time at karaoke, what are the dos & don’ts?
Be supportive – it takes a brave individual to stand up and sing in front of people. No heckling – don’t be rude. Applause and singing along are encouraged! Unless you get permission from the singer, do not steal the spotlight by taking their microphone or picking up the other mic. Go outside of your comfort zone – sing a new song! Above all, DO NOT DROP THE MIC – it’s not ‘cool,’ it’s grounds for exile. Lastly, YOLO – bring your friends and have an epic time!
What if I have issues with our host?
Feel free to bring your concern straight to the host or email info@charmcitytrivia.com if you don’t feel comfortable addressing the host directly.
What if there is a problem with the location?
Charm City Karaoke is the hired entertainment for the location. If you are having an issue with the location, the staff, wait times, food, servers, prizes, or anything other than our host or our game, address your concerns directly to the location.
