Karaoke For Fun And Profit #6 [Tuesday, Period 5, 6/17]

The Danger Room simulation had changed again. Instead of the posh surroundings of Club Mystique or the imposing theater, this week's class was in a club that was a little rough around the edges. There really wasn't a stage, just an open area with a jukebox and microphone stand.

"This week, we're going to be covering country music," said Mike. "These days, country isn't an entirely distinct music genre as many artists start crossing over. There's an honesty about country music that appeals to people once they've overdosed on bubblegum pop. The best way to know if you're playing to a crowd that prefers country? Your audience will look like regular people, not fancy clubgoers. The club probably won't have all the fancy trimmings. No DJ, no VIP area, no fancy drinks."

After they were all done with their songs, Mike had one more order of business. "Next week is our final workshop, so be prepared to sing in front of a live audience! Go ahead and invite your friends, too. The more, the merrier."
