**tech tips**
\* Use a computer instead of a phone or tablet if possible.
\* If you're going to use your phone, tell us ahead of time which songs you'll sing.
\* Wear headphones to prevent feedback noise.
\* Mute yourself while anyone else is singing.

**ways to sing online**
[1] Sing "a cappella" (without accompaniment) or while playing a musical instrument.
[2] Find a karaoke track or music video and screen share it while you sing along with it.
[3] Give the name of the song (and the version if that matters to you), and the host will find and screen share a karaoke track for you to sing along with.

If you're new to online singing and/or not confident about method [2], try method [3].

**finding backing tracks**
For pop favorites and classic "standards", these YouTube channels often have high-quality karaoke-style tracks that sound very similar to original recordings:
[Zoom Karaoke Official](https://www.youtube.com/@ZoomKaraokeOfficial/videos)
[Stingray Karaoke](https://www.youtube.com/@StingrayKaraoke/videos)
[Sing King](https://www.youtube.com/@singkingkaraoke/videos)
[KaraFun Karaoke](https://www.youtube.com/@karafun/videos)

For a quieter, more "unplugged" sound, try
[Acoustic Lounge](https://www.youtube.com/@AcousticLounge/videos)
[sing2guitar](https://www.youtube.com/@sing2guitar/videos)
or similar channels.

If your musical tastes run more toward alternative/rock (Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Gorillaz, Green Day, Linkin Park, Metallica, NIN, Nirvana, Paramore, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers), try
