Before you sing it

Where it sits

How hard

Easy goingSome effortA big sing

Every song below shows where it sits and how hard it is. Open one for what to sing next and a little trivia.

Most men's voices sit lower than the radio would have you believe. That's why so many guys pick a song they love, reach the chorus, and find it has gone somewhere they can't follow. The fix isn't a better voice. It's a better song.

Everything here suits a lower voice, stays steady through the chorus, and gives the room something to join. Plenty of women sing these brilliantly too: this is about where a voice sits, not who's holding the mic.

Want to go lower still? The low-voice page has the deepest ones. First time up? Easy songs for beginners is the gentlest start.

How the app finds more songs that fit

Every voice is different, so the best list is your own. Add the songs that worked to your setlist in KaraokeList: Skill if you really sang it, Fun if the room loved it anyway.

After each sing, give it stars and tap Too high, Just right or Too low. That's all the music talk it will ever ask of you. Stamp the one that got away from you Not again, and the Magic Mic never suggests it back.

Then tap the Magic Mic for songs you don't have yet, each with its reason, picked for the voice you've told it about.

Questions

What are easy karaoke songs for men?

Songs that sit low and stay steady through the chorus. Old Time Rock and Roll, Neon Moon, Glory Days and Old Town Road are all easy on a lower voice, and well known enough that the room helps.

What should a guy sing at karaoke if he can't sing?

Something talky with a chorus the bar already knows. Gimme Three Steps, Mustang Sally and Body Like a Back Road are mostly rhythm and attitude, and nobody is listening for polish.

What's a good first karaoke song for a guy?

One you know cold that stays low, with a chorus the room already sings. Old Time Rock and Roll, Neon Moon and That's Amore are friendly first picks, and for a really deep voice, our guide to karaoke songs for low voices goes lower still.

Why are so many songs too high for men?

Plenty of rock and pop hits were sung by men with unusually high voices, so the chorus lands above where most men speak. Pick songs that stay where the verse started, or ask the host whether the song can be made lower.
