More demographics: Age range of Hoster users and Karaoke Hosts.

[Karen K]

53 as of Ground Hog's Day 2008. Have been hosting in general since '95 and have had my own company since '97. Worked as little as 1 show a week up to 6 shows a week...now at 2 shows a week with lots of private (mostly weddings) book for Saturdays for this summer.

I find it really interesting that the majority fall into my age group. Thinking about calling my co. AARP Karaoke!

MTU needs to pay more attention to the age range their cusomer base falls in, and change the picture on the main website accordingly. Targeting the wrong age group can be a costly boo boo.

George,
I believe that MTU is trying to reach all age groups. In the "Professional Karaoke Host" demographic most of us are old farts (me included) yes, but there are alot of folks in all age groups, kids, parents, grandparents that can have alot of fun with MTU's software and never host a karaoke show.

I like the picture, the blonde is kinda cute.

With Much Respect!

Boys & Girls,

Never limit yourself by letting your age catagorize you! Let the Music bridge the so-called generation gap! How many of your regulars that are 20-30 something, come up with songslips or requests for the Oldies ('60's and '70's ), and tell you that they like your era, or that the music is easier to sing?

I'll be 57 in August, been doing Karoake Professionally since 1995, and plan on being stuffed and have 'em prop me up beside the automatic, remote controlled, blue tooth, Hoster show when I pass on! If I had known I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself when I was Younger!

Singin' brings on the happy times, and Karaoke keeps it unique!

Hubby and I fall right into the 23.5% demographic - we joke about having a system that is light enough for us to push up and down the hall from the activity room in the old folks' home as we'll be working off our room and board until they prop us up....

I agree Rick - music is universal, knows no age. How on earth would people like Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Sir/Dr. Paul McCartney, and the rest of the gang (who were youngsters starting out on their long and wonderful career paths while we sat with our tinny transistors up to our ears) still be entertaining the masses with such success...and if you look at their audiences, they cover every age group. Not many 'careers' you can say that about, for sure.

Sing on!
