I like to sing karaoke! Do you? It's fun, even though I'm not that great at it.
I've done it once and it was super fun. Do you do it with people?
I do! I don't really like singing alone. Karaoke is different from a sing-along in that there is no lead vocalist.
How do you know the words?
They appear on a screen as the song plays. It's very helpful! Some professional artists actually use a "karaoke" recording for their music. Sometimes a full band isn't possible.
Is that the same thing as lip-syncing?
It's close but in lip-syncing the performer just pretends to sing by moving their mouth but they don't actually sing. Karaoke is actual singing.
Where is Karaoke usually done?
In several Asian countries such as China, Cambodia or the Philippines, a karaoke box is called a KTV. The global karaoke market has been estimated to be worth nearly $10 billion.
