A karaoke booth or box, is where people usually enjoy this fun singing game. It basically has an electronic device which plays the background music of famous songs along with the lyrics being displayed on the screen for the singer to read and sing along. It is a great way to celebrate with friends and family. The idea is to let go of the apprehensions and inhibitions and set yourself free of the thought “What will people say?”. It is a great way to lift the numerous bounds and limitations that we wrap ourselves in and which stop us from living a free life.

The idea is to enjoy without being a critic or worrying of somebody’s criticism. Gather your friends and family and get a karaoke set up and sing along the tunes of your favourite songs. Don’t bother about your voice or your tones – just feel free and enjoy the sport.
