Live Karaoke Activation
Classic Karaoke
A deep song library, professional wireless mics, and lyrics on the big event screen. Hosted by a dedicated attendant who keeps the queue moving and the room locked in from the first song to the last.
What It Is
Classic Karaoke is a hosted activation that puts your guests on the mic with a deep song library and lyrics rolling across the same screen used for the rest of your entertainment. Guests browse thousands of tracks, queue their pick, and step up. The host manages the room, handles the handoffs, and keeps the energy exactly where it needs to be.
What separates this from a karaoke machine in the corner is the live host and the integration with your event setup. Lyrics feed through your existing screen or LED wall. Sound is tuned for a real event, not a living room. The host treats every performer like a headliner, which is exactly how your guests feel when they step up to the mic.
Karaoke works as a standalone activation or as part of a games combo. At mitzvahs it tends to run in a dedicated party segment with other activations. At corporate holiday parties it becomes the moment the night turns into a story. Either way, the host carries the format and your guests carry the room.
Where It Works
Classic Karaoke leads with mitzvahs and sweet 16s, then travels to any event where a high-energy crowd moment is the goal.
How Long It Runs
Classic Karaoke runs open-format, which means it fits a single party segment or a full event depending on how you want to use it. A typical activation fills a 45 to 90 minute window with a rotating queue of performers. For events where karaoke is the main draw all night, we pace the queue and set management to keep energy high through the final song. We match the format to your program.
What's Included
Every Classic Karaoke booking includes everything needed to run a professional activation from the first mic check to the last song.
Deep Song Library
Tens of thousands of tracks across every genre and era. Pop, hip-hop, R&B, classic rock, Broadway, Spanish-language hits. Guests browse and queue from a tablet or a dedicated interface so the line never stalls.
Wireless Microphones
Professional wireless mics that fill the room cleanly. No feedback, no dead spots. Every performer sounds like a star whether or not they actually are one.
On-Screen Lyrics
Lyrics appear on the same large screen used for the other games. The display is crisp and timed so performers can follow along confidently and the audience can sing along if they want.
Host and Attendant
A dedicated host runs the entire activation: queue management, mic handoffs, crowd hype, and the moments in between. They keep the energy up from the first song to the last.
Full Sound
Clean audio output with proper levels for a live event environment. We can integrate with your venue sound system or bring a self-contained setup depending on the space.
Setup and Breakdown
We arrive early, set up everything, and clear out after the segment. No coordination required from your team beyond confirming the screen and the power drop.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about adding Classic Karaoke to your event.
How many guests can participate in karaoke at once?
One to three guests sing at a time while the rest of the room watches, cheers, and queues up their own song. Our host keeps the rotation moving and the energy high so there is never a dead moment between performers.
How big is the song library?
The library covers tens of thousands of tracks across every genre and era: pop, hip-hop, R&B, classic rock, Broadway, Spanish-language hits, and more. If a song is in the karaoke catalog, it is almost certainly in ours. Custom additions can be arranged in advance for must-have tracks.
What does the host actually do during the activation?
The host manages the song queue, handles the mic handoffs, hypes up each performer, and keeps the room engaged between sets. They are the difference between a karaoke machine running in the corner and a karaoke moment that becomes a story guests tell afterward.
Can karaoke run alongside other Nicholson games or entertainment?
Yes, and that is one of the strongest ways to book it. Karaoke pairs naturally with Friendly Feud, the Prize Wheel, or a cocktail-hour DJ set. The lyrics channel directly through the same event screen used for the other activations, so the tech stack is already there.
What venues and events work best for Classic Karaoke?
Classic Karaoke works wherever you have a screen and a crowd. Bar and bat mitzvahs are the most natural fit: the energy, the guest mix, and the moment in the program all line up. It also runs well at corporate holiday parties, sweet 16s, and galas where a high-energy entertainment segment is the goal.
