First I need to say that when an artist puts becoming a big star ahead of other factors, they are headed for failure. Read the bios of your favorite performers and you will read over and over again that they were actually surprised when they hit stardom. Most of them will tell us that they just wanted to sing the music they loved, and everything else seemed to fall in place. Well, it's not THAT easy, but you get the idea. They sang their music, tossed it out there, and listeners bought it. and went to their concerts. But..... 1. They worked hard to get better and better at their singing and performance. Studying with teachers, practice, physical development, mental sharpness, hours and hours of listening and analyzing recordings of other singers. watching countless videos, going to concerts, learning from all genres of music rather than just their own...these are just a few of the things required of someone who really wants to make it big. 2. They surrounded themselves with intelligent, trustworthy friends, managers, business advisors and producers who's primary interest was supporting them. 3. They understood that taking their performance to the national stage required smart choices: contracts, business decisions, choice of managers, producers and marketing-distribution experts. 4. They never gave up, even though major failures were plentiful. Having talent is only one very small part of the equation. Too many hopefuls fool themselves into believing that since their singing, looks and performance are amazing, they are certain to become stars. If you are aiming yourself toward that big star in the sky, come back to earth and read the bios of the ones who have made it. Learn from their problems and successes, from their failures, and how they overcame them, from their experiences with the crooks who run so much of the music business. If you just think you can sing your way into national acclaim, you are going to fail. Much much more is involved. Start your research today. Go on the web and enter the names of some of your favorite groups, singles or bands. Read their bio material, and you will begin to understand what it really takes to make it in the music business. We too often forget that today's famous singers were yesterday's struggling youngsters who were probably no where near the talent level they are today. While touring with some of my groups I met two upcoming singing groups who were actually opening for my students. Both of these groups or 4 or more singers traveled with their parents in unreliable older vans. They were eating fast food to save money. They were worn and tired from such a life style, yet they held on, and moved into international fame. . Want to learn more easy techniques to improve your singing?
