Listen on

Episode notes

If there’s one thing that podcasting lacks, it’s people giving you lists of ways to improve something in your life. Since Adam and Ed noticed this – this absolute dearth of self-improvement out there in the podcast-o-sphere – they decided they’d provide a corrective and give direct, actionable advice. They are pleased to provide you, the loyal listener who loves karaoke, with the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Karaoke People. Just don’t get too inflated of an ego when you master it, or you may end up in the Karaoke Trivia Bullpen the next time the quiz topic is Musician Egos.

Speaking of highly effective karaoke people and communicators, the guys talk to Brenden Kumarasamy, the creator of the MasterTalk Youtube channel, where he trains people to become better public speakers and communicators. And he does attribute karaoke as one of the places he learned to feel confident communicating with other people (and has a specific video on that very topic on his channel). Brenden can speak three languages, but can sing karaoke in eight! In comparison, Adam and Ed can barely sing in one language. He gives great tips for both karaoke and public speaking excellence, and asks Adam and Ed a tough, introspective question when he fires away after the quickfire game.

As always, you can find more info on the website (https://www.sungpoorly.com), and on social media--the show is @sungpoorly on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and now even Tiktok. You can reach Adam and Ed via email by sending a message to [email protected]. And if you want to support the podcast and snag yourself some great karaoke and podcast swag doing it, our store has all of that and more–www.sungpoorly.com/store.
