How to successfully launch a singing career? Don’t roll your eyes!?

Hi, im 14 nearly 15 and ive got a talent for singing. I reallly, really want to make a successful career out of. So I have the passion, ambition, drive and determination, im just not sure how to actually do that! I already have singing lessons, but how do I get out there and get ‘discovered’? I have thought about putting a video of me singing on youtube as many other people have (and got success out of it) but im not so sure my voice would sound good on it unless I got a really expensive one, and my parents sure wouldn’t buy me one. So, whats all this business about recording a demo? I don’t have the equipment, but ive heard that you can record at local recording studios. But is there a price to do that, or anything else that gets in the way? I would sing at open mic nights and pubs and clubs n stuff but im too young  So, yeah, any [serious!] ideas and plans anyone?

I commend you for your drive, and passion for singing and music. You have already shown that you are serious, simply by taking vocal lessons. (I am not rolling my eyes. Have you heard of Leann Rimes, Brittany Spears, Christina Aguillera? They all were asking the same questions you are at the same age.)

There are a couple ways to get started. First, and most obvious, you need to have a couple songs to sing. Those aren’t hard to find. Pick your favorite top 40 songs, get accompaniment tracks to them, etc. If you write your own stuff, even better.

Next, you need to take every opportunity available to get out and sing. Of course there is your school programs, but there are other opportunities. Bars, coffee shops, singing competitions, church, etc. I am not much of a bar goer, but I am fairly certain that if your parents are with you, you can convince the bar owner to let you sing, especially if they know that you are going to be bringing in a lot of business.

Now, how to get the gig with out having a recording of yourself. Call up the bar, coffee shop, etc. and ask who books the acts. Get in touch with that person, and ask them if you can schedule five minutes with them. Go meet them, and sing a song for them. If you are what they are looking for, they will put you on the stage. Don’t be discouraged if you get turned down a couple times. That’s part the deal. In another year, after having built a following at an establishment across town, they will want you.

Next, you need to work on a recording. You need to have something you can send people to get other gigs, etc. Plus you need to start having something to sell to generate some cash. There are plenty of local guys that have studios, and some of them do OK. Many are sub par. Generally you call them up, and book time with them. You bring in the musicians or your accompaniment tracks, and they are the guys pushing buttons. That’s fine. But there are ways to get higher quality recordings, and it will be necessary if you really want to get the attention of legitimate music industry people. There still is a vast difference in quality from the local studio guys, to the pros out of NY, Nashville, or LA. And radio stations, labels, etc. can hear it instantly how you had your music recorded.

All of that to say, I admire your ambition. If you are really serious about this, I invite you and your parents to visit my website. If you would like to have a conversation about the details of really getting started, email me, and we can schedule a time with you and your parents to speak over the phone. I remember being 15 wanting a career in professional drumming, and I had special people come along to give me advice. I am trying to “pay it forward”.
