How to Use Karaoke on QuickTime
To sing karaoke, a person needs a song that has had the vocals removed. You can sing karaoke at home using the free QuickTime player program on a computer. You will need to adjust a few settings on the QuickTime player, but no special modifications are required. You will also need a music song file on your computer along which you can sing.
