How to Become a Famous Singer

Determination and perseverance. There are many talent contests – thousands of people want to be famous and good luck on the way to a singing career. Most established singers spend years practicing their voices and performing at low-paid music shows before they change their fortunes. Don’t forget your biggest goal and try to be patient.

Conquer your fear. Contrary to what you might think, quite a few performers struggle with stage fright. If this is also a problem you have, or if you are impatient to be recognized for your talent, find ways to confront your fears and increase your confidence. Sing in front of a crowd often, whether in the car with friends or on stage, and remember that people’s comments about you don’t always matter – what’s important is that you work tirelessly to own dream.

First, sing the song that you feel you can sing best. If it feels good, continue to sing the next song . Before success, you will have music nights covering quality songs.

Breathe, take a deep breath, take a lot more breath for the song. Don’t run out of breath or sing without power.

If you don’t have the ability to compose your own songs, cover songs that really fit. Many singers don’t write their own songs, but that’s okay. Especially in the early days, you want the listener to pay more attention to the quality of the voice than the ability to compose. Make a list of 10 to 15 songs by other artists that you think you can sing well and practice to sing better and better.

• Choose songs skillfully, harmoniously combining popular songs and picky songs. You should not just focus on the songs that are in the top 40 most popular songs, nor should you just sing songs that few people know.
• Focus on classic music. A good way to get your cover song noticed is to change the timbre, tempo, or instrumentation dramatically, especially with popular songs. Compare different versions of “Hallelujah” or Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” covered in Civil Wars style.

Sing in front of a crowd whenever possible. Sign up to perform at multiple concerts for a chance to sing – you never know who is listening in the audience. Sing at private parties, provincial fairs, store openings, motor shows, sporting events, talent contests, karaoke, and any place that invites you with or without compensation . Even if you haven’t made an immediate impression on a talent scout, you’re still honing your stage skills and getting used to standing in front of a crowd.

Set up a YouTube channel. Some people have become really famous by posting their singing videos on YouTube. These include Charice Pempengco, Austin Mahone, Greyson Chance and most notably, Justin Bieber.

• Remember: The Internet is not always an ideal environment. If you’re not sure if your voice is excellent, postpone it until your practice is better. You may be praised online, but you may also meet people who want to bring you down.
• Furthermore, always keep in mind that what you post online will live on forever. Therefore, only post achievements that you feel confident about publicly for anyone to see and even 10 years later you are still proud of them.
• Do not upload videos to YouTube if you are underage . If you’re a minor, ask a parent to help compose the content.

Know how to engage the media. Always pay attention to this whether eating, breathing or sleeping. Look for photo opportunities. Speak up. Grab any opportunity that can make you the center of attention. Make yourself known to many people.

Environment. Go where successful musicians or producers usually meet (maybe a club, discotheque) and act like you’re an active in the music industry, even if they’re not. know who you are. Go to a city with a musical tradition (e.g. Nashville, Memphis, NYC, LA, New Orleans, Austin or Las Vegas) and network with the musicians there.

• Create relationships with other musicians. You never know who will work with or refer you to an entertainment company in the future. So, be friendly and take care of other people’s careers as well.

Always perform to the best of your ability. When you’re on stage or in groups with industry professionals, show them your charm. Smile, answer questions and sing with passion, even when you’re not in good shape. The ability to create a fun and energetic atmosphere is as much a part of the entertainment industry as lighting a lamp in a dark room.

• Don’t show a pompous attitude towards your fans. Remember that your fans can help you go from an unknown singer to a star. Sign autographs, answer questions and take pictures with them after the show.

Learn how to deal with criticism. This still happens – no matter how great you are, there are people who don’t like your voice. Even world-famous singers have people who don’t like them. You should only listen to constructive criticism because they can really help you improve; if not, ignore it. Avoid getting involved in arguments or fights related to your dream, stay away from people who often ask questions because they are just jealous.

Accept rejection and move on. It’s not very common, but many great artists have been rejected several times before being signed by record labels, including The Beatles. If someone doesn’t want to work with you, it’s their loss – look for other opportunities and keep your head up.

Learn to recognize scams. Once your dedication to pursuing a music career is made public, you can become the target of scammers with fake contracts. Remember the following carefully:

• If an agent or record label wants to sign you, you won’t have to pay any fees – you’re signing because the agent or record label thinks you can give them the real deal. more profit, as well as for yourself. Don’t accept any contract that requires you to pay for the recording of samples, vocal training, or anything else. Remember: a good agent gets paid after you succeed, not before.
• If you are offered a contract, read it carefully. Invest in hiring a lawyer to carefully review the contract with you. While it may cost a few hundred dollars upfront, it will save you thousands in the long run.
• Never make an oral agreement. Always ask to work on a written contract when it comes to money and benefits.

Consider teaming up with a band (optional). If you don’t play an instrument, joining an accompaniment band can be a wise decision. However, it is important to realize that once you join the band, you should accept to share the aura with the rest of the members – meaning that you cannot pursue a career and only think about yourself as you did. Also an independent artist. Please consider the pros and cons carefully before making a decision.
