might want to get yourself a pitch pipe and try to work with the pitch pipe and your voice. it will help extend your own vocal range if you can start hitting different notes and sustaining them. thats where lots of practise comes in.
I sing with a band, a bit different than karokoe. which brings me to the last point.
its karakoe(sp) try not to take it too seriously. theres many people that sing out there that probably shouldnt, but it is afterall for fun. remember that, have a couple of brews and dont sweat it too much.

Thanks Sample. I really appreciate that advice.
I know it's just karaoke too, but when I get going on trying to improve myself in some way I like to really try my best. Also, karaoke here isn't like it was in Canada. All my friends here have been singing their whole lives and either sound like Celine Dion or Nat King Cole. It's like there's some weird Chinese breeding program for only children with super-voices. I am taking it light heartedly, but I'd like to be able to impress with my progress the next time I'm out with bosses and friends singing a song.
