Contracts and increase your prices.

That's all I really have to contribute. But don't be pushed around, if they want you, make them show it.

to be truthful, dan, it really didn't bother me much as it did the singers when or how i was "let go". it makes me feel good that the ones for whom i run the show (the singers) really like how i do things. much like the others who don't have contracts, A-i don't think they'd go over too well, B-i don't see too much of a need for it.

The area where I live, you can't get a Bar to sign a contarct for Karaoke. The Bar owner/manager would just say "goodbye" and hire the next KJ he could find. There are too many of us around, and each one just as willing and eager to grab a new gig. There are 1 or 2 KJs that I know (in my area) of that actually do work with a contract, but they hardly ever keep the gigs they get, or they hardly ever find regular work.

Now, as for private parties, that's a different story... Almost everyone that I know of works with the use of a contarct. It spells everything out (including overtime (if any)).
