## Guides

- [How to choose a karaoke song that fits the room](https://songbook.songhub.space/guides/how-to-choose-a-karaoke-song/): Choose a karaoke song by matching three things: a comfortable vocal range, a chorus the room already knows, and an energy level that fits the moment. Pick two safe songs and one stretch song before you take the microphone.
- [How to build a karaoke setlist that keeps the room](https://songbook.songhub.space/guides/build-a-karaoke-setlist/): Build a karaoke setlist of 10 to 12 songs for a 60 to 75 minute rotation. Open with a familiar mid-energy song, alternate peaks and resets, place duets in the middle, and save one group singalong for the finale.
- [How to find a song in any karaoke service](https://songbook.songhub.space/guides/find-any-song-in-any-karaoke-app/): Search for a karaoke song by title and artist first, then try the original-language title or a common spelling. Karaoke catalogs differ, so check the version and year before you queue it.
- [How to keep your karaoke songbook ready](https://songbook.songhub.space/guides/offline-karaoke-songbook/): Add Songbook from your browser, open Save for later, and choose Save the whole songbook. Your songs, collections, and setlists will be ready wherever you go.
- [Karaoke for first-timers: a calm, practical checklist](https://songbook.songhub.space/guides/karaoke-for-first-timers/): For a first karaoke song, choose a short, familiar track in a comfortable key, hold the microphone close but not touching your mouth, and sing the chorus toward the room. Finish the song even if you make a mistake.
