Choose Songs That Make Crowds Move
Classic songs from the 80s and 90s always get people moving. Hit songs from stars like Journey, Queen, and Whitney Houston make a quick connect with everyone.
High energy songs keep the party vibe, while slow songs show off your voice, but the fast, fun singalongs like “Sweet Caroline” and “Don’t Stop Believin'” make the night.
Plan a Perfect Song Set
Know your lyrics well. Understand the feeling in the song and pick special spots to make it yours.
Practice how you bring the song and record your tries to see how to get better. Find spots to breathe and try other ways to sing tough parts, like talk-singing or having the crowd sing with you.
Move right on stage. Make sure everyone can see you. Connect well with the crowd by looking at them.
Make your song list one that lets you stay cool and reach everyone in the room.
Get Everyone Going with Group Songs

Group songs lift everyone’s mood. When many sing together, it creates a buzz and gets everyone into singing. This helps those scared of the mic start enjoying it.
Pick big, known songs for groups like “Sweet Caroline” and “Don’t Stop Believin’” which most know and can join in easily.
Let 4-6 people sing together, match parts with voice types, and have clear roles. Set signals to swap smoothly.
Raise the Room with Great Stage Moves
Stand right to feel sure and pull focus. Use your stage and connect with looks as you go across the crowd. This draws people in.
Move to fit the song and use hand moves that add to the words. Stay calm in slow songs to carry the right feel.
Match your face to the song mood – smile when it’s peppy and look intense when it’s deep. Hold the mic right for clear sound and no sound mess-ups.
Choose When You Sing Smart
When you sing can shift an okay show to a great one. Feel out the room’s vibe.
The best time is usually an hour in, once others have set the night up. This time gets you a fired-up crowd still full of energy.
Watch how into it the crowd is and fit your song to that vibe. Switch it up as the night moves.
