When singing karaoke, you typically want to use sort of microphone. A microphone will not only allow your voice to carry farther but you and your friends also can hear what you are saying over the music. If you do not have an audio system hooked up with an amp and a microphone, you can use a microphone connected to your computer. You won't find this type of microphone in actual karaoke bars, but it is an adequate setup for home use.
