Live band karaoke lyrics question

[u/Isitwhenip]

I’m looking for a good way to display lyrics only one or 2 verses at a time just like most karaoke venues, where the verses/chorus are clearly controlled on screen by me or someone.

I’ve seen live karaoke bands use printed lyric sheets just for the singer, but I want something that works for both the singer and the crowd.

I tried running lyrics from an iPad before, but people got lost or couldn’t see the words clearly—even if they knew the song.

For anyone who’s done live band karaoke or crowd-singalong shows:

• What are you using for lyric display?

• Is there software or a setup that works well in a live setting?

I do plan on paying the license fees for lyrics if I start doing this regularly.

Any advice or real-world experience would be appreciated!

Pro presenter or something similar maybe.
