Just choose a song that can be spoken (see some examples below) or one that everyone can sing along with and go early. Whether you’re a great singer or can barely tell the difference between mom and dad on the phone, you’ll be expected to take your turn. Singing used to be a punishment when we were in elementary school, right? Well it doesn’t matter. Whether you’re going with some friends or for a business meeting, you can feel completely comfortable to be yourself and sing badly, no one will judge you for it. The first thing you should know about KTV is that it is always very casual. How should you handle yourself during you KTV experience? How can you be polite to your hosts and show them you’re having a good time? Here are some tips: 1. Once you’re in the room, it’s probably just best to let your Chinese hosts take the lead, but there are some things you’ll want to keep in mind. At the front of the room, of course, will be the giant screen where your song selections, with accompanying music videos will show. There will be several controls on the tables and by the doors that allow you to control everything from the volume and room lighting, to calling for the waitstaff. KTV rooms are furnished with comfy furniture, usually a large couch that takes up the width of the room. There is a lot of variation depending on the style, price, and type of KTV establishment you go to, but the basic setup is the same. Unlike in the US, KTV happens in private rooms that you book by the hour. Simply tell them what room your friends have booked (or let them know you need to book a room for X number of people) and let them lead you through the labyrinth of interconnected hallways. When you first arrive at the KTV parlor, you’ll be greeted by hosts and hostesses that will take care of your every need.

They range from small one or two person booths at the mall to huge, multi-level palaces with fully furnished VIP rooms. Even medium sized cities will have hundreds of KTV (the Chinese name for karaoke) spots.
In China, karaoke is not in the corner it’s the main event. Chinese karaoke is on a whole different level. You’d choose your song from a 3-ring binder and let whichever employee was unlucky enough to be in charge of karaoke night know what you wanted to sing.

Where I grew up (in the US), karaoke meant a microphone and tiny TV screen tucked into the corner of the bar. Before I traveled to China, I thought I knew what karaoke was.
