Can Karaoke CDs and DVDs Improve Your Singing?
With such a wide range of karaoke CDs and DVDs available to purchase it can be quite tempting to start your own library to try and perfect your voice. But the question remains is can creating your own library of karaoke CDs and DVDs improve your singing? Does making such a purchase increase your chances of singing perfection on stage? How can singing with karaoke discs improve your singing?
There is no doubt that purchasing karaoke CDs and DVDs are the best way to improve your singing. It gives you ample opportunity to practice your favourite songs, the experience on practicing in the comfort of your own home, and the confidence to build and expand your time on stage.
By purchasing karaoke CDs and DVDs there is definitely no excuse not to practice and develop your own singing range. The best part is because of the wide range of titles available, it is near impossible to not find a CD or DVD that suits your style and taste. There are karaoke DVDs covering all known music genres ranging from oldies, country to classic rock.
As they say, practice makes perfect, and the same can definitely be said in improving your singing. By taking any opportunity to practice at home with your karaoke library it gives you the chance to learn your favourite songs by heart to be able to sing them with confidence when you do venture on stage. Sing karaoke with your home karaoke collection in front of your family and friends to gain the experience needed if you ever go on stage.
Purchasing karaoke discs are also a great way to expand your karaoke repertoire. Of course everyone has a small range of tracks that they love performing, but a lot of semi-professionals also try bigger and better things to see how far their singing talent can go.
Karaoke DVDs are a great idea to expand your song selection because the options available out there are absolutely endless. From rock, classic rock, country, pop, motown, superhits, golden oldies, or more, there is no doubt that you can find the tracks your desire with relative ease.
The best part about building your library of karaoke CDs and karaoke DVDs is the amount of confidence you have within yourself next time you get up on stage. By singng regularly, you'll build up the innate confidence and ability to take on more songs with ease. You'll be more comfortable with performing and singing.
By learning and practising the songs that you want to impress with every time you have a free moment at home, the next time you step up onto the stage you be confident about singing, making your next performance absolutely stunning.
What you can look forward to about building a karaoke disc collection is the after a while you will have a big enough collection to begin hosting your own karaoke parties, and before long all your friends will be wanting to start their own library! Isn't that what karaoke singing is all about?

How do I find alto backup music/karaoke for my voice instruction class?
Hi, I'm taking a beginning voice instruction class, and I'm trying to find backup music or karaoke music for a solo, but everything is too high (or too low if I try to sing an octave lower). Is there some way to change this or somewhere you can find alto music? Or do you have suggestions on songs for a lower voice? I'd like to do something from a musical, but if not that then either christian or oldies. Ideas?
There's a song from the musical "Silver's Ghost" called "All I've Got". Kate Williams did a version which is on i-Tunes and there's a backing-only (karaoke) version also on i-Tunes. It doesn't go higher than a D. It's produced by http://www.surreydancemusic.co.uk on their "Showtrain" album, and they have got a couple of others on their "The World is my Stage" album, which might be worth looking into.

Service Project Ideas – 25 Ways to Help the Elderly, Needy, Homeless, & Hungry
The entire purpose of our existence is to learn how to discipline our natural passions and tendencies, and in the process, develop the highest of all attributes – that of charity. Never forget, however, that charity and service are not the same. Charity is a characteristic trait, service is a kind act! And while charity is certainly developed through continual kind acts of service, charity also seeks no reward and is initiated because of unselfishness and love rather than the hope of recognition.
True service and charity are usually not accomplished through great one-time opportunities or philanthropic acts; but they are most often demonstrated best through habits of small, quiet, humble, and unrecognized actions of every day. Albert Einstein perhaps said it best when he penned: “only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” This truth explains why happiness is found from within, not without; and perhaps more importantly, it more fully explains why confidence and self-esteem improve and depression and sadness flee the moment we start to think of and help others. Ironically, our lives are found in the losing of them!
As we think of and approach service from this perspective, perhaps the 25 simple items listed below become much more significant. Why? Participation in these simple acts will certainly not be acts sufficient to be recognized on the news, be worthy of some award, or be justifiable to carve a name on a plaque. However, the continual participation in these unselfish acts of service and love will in time produce the greatest reward – that of the development of character, a life of service to others, and the eventual possession of charity. And while the reward for such acts is usually only an appreciative and grateful benefactor of the charitable act, the real satisfaction comes from the happiness that will inevitably result from a life of unselfish service.
Elderly and Senior Citizens:
1) Visit your local nursing home and simply visit and talk with patients, sing songs, tell stories, read books, play games, take them on a walk, put on a performance, etc.
2) Help an elderly neighbor by raking leaves, mowing lawn, weeding flower bed, shoveling snow, wash car, clean house, etc.
3) Visit widows or homebound individuals – make them a meal, stop in to say hi, help around house, etc.
4) Spend an evening teaching a senior citizen how to use the computer or internet, painting or drawing, scrapbooking, etc.
5) Go to nursing home and have a Karaoke night – sing songs they want (the ‘oldies’). Have them teach you their dance moves!
6) ‘Adopt a Grand-friend’ – every once in a while, pick up the phone, send an email, write a letter, or go and visit your ‘grand-friend.’
7) Help an elderly person by picking up their medicine, retrieving their paper, helping them with grocery shopping, taking them ‘out.’
Put together a puppet show, performance, or take a game – and have a fun game night with the senior citizens. (Take them a treat too).
9) Make a meal and just go visit an elderly, sick, or widowed person in the neighborhood and just have a fun evening together playing games, telling stories, and talking.
10) Visit grandparents, widows, or local elderly people in the neighborhood or nursing home – and write down their history. Just talk to them, ask them questions, and record their answers. Then, present that history to their family (decedents).
Needy, Homeless & the Hungry:
1) Go downtown and actually try to find someone who is homeless – give them a few dollars, or buy them a meal, or simply just talk to them.
2) Collect food from neighbors, at school, or from churches – give it to a local family in need, homeless shelter, or charity. Organize a food drive and set up bins in: stores, banks, schools, work offices, movie theatres, churches, etc.
3) Volunteer at your local homeless shelter, food bank, or soup kitchen.
4) Gather clothes, blankets, toys, books, or basic supplies and donate to local family in need, homeless shelter, Church, or non-profit organization.
5) The next time you pass by someone who is begging or homeless, stop and just talk to them. Listen to them and offer to help if you can. Donate money or buy them a meal (be careful of course, and don’t be alone).
6) Have fun and get a group to do a ‘service scavenger hunt.’ Groups will go around town and ask for various things for people to donate to help people in need. Items could include: coats, shoes, blankets, books, toys, clothes, gloves, bags, socks, combs, toothbrushes, towels, sheets, shampoo, soap, bottles, foam mattresses, etc.
7) Set up workshops to help people in need: employment resources, interview skills, resume tips, communication skills, educational resources, job skills, etc.
Look for opportunities to help people in need: visit a widow, babysit for a foster family, serve at an orphanage, etc.
9) Be a ‘big brother’ to a struggling child or teen. Visit local school, orphanage, or even homeless shelter and spend time with the child: read, play games, talk, tell stories, help with homework, laugh, etc.
10) Organize a huge group to collect grocery store coupons. Donate all these coupons to the local food bank, food pantry, or homeless shelter – and then stay and help pack, prepare, or hand out food.
11) Contact organizations like United Way, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Special Olympics, or Non-Profits and participate in local community service projects.
12) Help with home repairs and yard work of local families / homes in need. Find out about low income housing projects – and help build, do yard work, or home repairs.
13) Work with leaders or homeless shelters (with approval from children’s parents) and take kids from Homeless Shelters out on ‘outings.’ Go to the park, out for ice cream, to the zoo, a museum, a game, etc.
14) Establish a Once A Month Reading Afternoon. Collect books and invite those who are illiterate or homeless to learn how to read.
15) ‘Adopt a Friend’ – go down to the local homeless shelter, orphanage, or soup kitchen and find someone to be a friend with. Visit them often, read with them, talk with them, play games, tell stories, etc. Just be their friend.
