Garaoke Entertainment Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
About Garaoke
Karaoke Etiquette
A few common questions I get are:
Q: What kind of event is Garaoke Entertainment available for?
A: Garaoke is available for almost any kind of event! Big or small, private or public! We do weddings, birthdays, graduations, holiday parties, corporate events, and more!
Q: When is Garaoke available?
A: The answer to that question is always changing as we're booking events all the time. If you have a date in mind, call or email and we'll let you know if that date is available. I will tell you that we're available 7 days a week!
Q: Do you just play Karaoke?
A: Definitely not! Karaoke is just one of the many options we have to offer you! We can play awesome music for you and your guests to dance the night away to if that's what you prefer! We can do games and contests! We can even do custom music mixes that are a blast!
Q: What kind of games and contests are you talking about?
A: Dance contests, singing contests, battle of the bands, wedding party games, birthday party games, we've got several that we can suggest, or if you have an idea for a game or contest we can probably incorporate it into your event.
Q: What kind of music do you play?
A: What kind do you want? We have more music than you can shake a stick at. (Honestly, I don't know what that means!) The truth is, we have tens of thousands of songs of all different genres (Rock-n-Roll to Reggae, Big Band to Disco, Country to Hip-Hop, and more)! AND, if we don't have specific songs you want for an event, we'll do everything we can to get it before hand! Keep in mind that EVERY DJ has his or her forte', or expertise, in genres of music that they play! Not every DJ is an expert in ALL genres! If you have questions as to my area of expertise, please don't hesitate to ask.
Q: Do you use CD's, tapes, records, or what?
A: All the music material we get is transferred to digital format and stored on computer hard drives and backed up on portable external hard drives. We also always run two separate systems at one time so that there is very little chance of any glitches or down time. Backed up, redundant, and reliable. Backed up, redundant, and reliable. Did I mention, "Backed up, redundant, and reliable"? ... No matter what, the show will go on!
Q: Do you have any lighting or effects?
A: Yes we do! Lighting can add so much to an event! It can set the tone and mood of a party. Garaoke offers some of the best high tech lighting around. We've got spots, strobes, leds, moonflowers, lasers, up lighting, fog, and just like all our equipment, we're constantly upgrading. We've also got all the truss or T-bars you can ask for to mount the lights on. Bottom line is, we can put on one heck of a show for you!
So, that gives you some answers to some common questions but if you've got a question that wasn't answered here, please don't hesitate to call or email!
Karaoke Facts
Well, maybe facts about Karaoke aren't quite that interesting, but, you may find a couple points of interest and tips here so read on...
Did you know:
- Karaoke is actually a Japanese term, which means "empty orchestra," where "kara" in Japan means empty, while "oke," is from the Japanese term okesutora, which means orchestra. So, you've got your empty orchestra providing the instrumental to a song and you provide the vocals!
- Karaoke first originated in Japan during the 1970s, where people are known to be "entertainment aficionados." At a later stage, this wonderful music boom box was distributed to the East Asia during the last part of the 1980s and entered the United States on early part of the 1990s. From there, karaoke gradually dominated the whole world.
- Karaoke is an activity both singles and families can enjoy. Karaoke discs offer music of every genre, so everyone is sure to find something to sing. There are places to sing karaoke that are very inexpensive, offering an affordable family night out. With home systems, be they video games or karaoke machines, you can hone your skills before venturing into public, making the entire adventure less stressful.
- Early karaoke machines used cassette tapes, but with growing technology, this changed to CD+Gs which is a CD + Graphics or lyrics and the vocal track removed. Most recent is the use of computer programs/software whereby one would "grab" songs from a CD+G or download songs and save them in a digital format onto a computer's internal hard-drive, a removable disk-such as a flash drive, or the most commonly used external hard-drive.
- Home Karaoke machines can be quite inexpensive for practicing at home and utilize the CD+G disks. The disks can get quite expensive however.
