Some girls attend music studios, others sing in the church choir, others sing only in private. But everyone has a chance, it is important to believe in yourself to the last.
How to start a future singer
Climbing to the top of glory begins with setting a goal. Your goal is to become a singer. Tune in seriously to this course, feel self-confidence, because nothing is impossible for a person.
The only thing that slows us down on the road to our dreams is our own fears. Get rid of them by any means. Use the three options below to release your fears:
1. Work with a psychologist. A competent specialist will help you cope with complexes, if any, show your strengths and teach you how to overcome problems and obstacles.
2. Motivation. Fears scatter in corners if a person is faced with powerful motivation. Take a piece of paper and write down what will change if you become a singer. Dream to the fullest, do not think about how you will come to a luxurious life. It is important to indicate the desired result, the rest will follow.
3. Path through fears. If you can’t get rid of fears and doubts, then walk on the path to glory with them, through them. Just do what you must. Yes, you will be scared, but then you will be proud of the results and say "I did it."
Assessment of your abilities
In order to become a real singer, one desire is not enough. A person of this specialty must have certain abilities, which will be discussed below.
Your chances of success increase significantly if you have all of the following:
1. Pleasant voice and hearing. With an ear for music and a voice, everything should be perfect. There are people who even speak melodicly, and their singing is simply mesmerizing. This is a natural gift. If you have such a gift, you shouldn’t even think about it, you need to sing. Small voice errors can be corrected; special techniques and exercises have been created for this. Lack of musical ear will not fix anything.
2. Sense of rhythm. For a career as a singer, it is not at all necessary to have an innate sense of rhythm. It can be developed artificially. It is important to remember that one cannot do without a sense of rhythm on the modern stage. Don't think that singing and dancing at the same time is so easy. Similar skills appear after long trainings, where special attention is paid to breathing.
3. Artistic skills, charisma. In show business, the image of the singer plays an important role. Sometimes this is what keeps the whole career of an artist. There must be some mystery in the performer. Original behavior on stage is welcome. Everything that distinguishes you from others plays into your hands.
4. Good looking. Of course, the voice for a singer's career is the most important trump card. But practice shows that pretty faces make their way onto the stage faster. Choose the best image - interesting, but at the same time seasoned.
5. Adequate attitude towards yourself. There is a world of fantasy and conjecture, but we need to live in reality. That is why it is so important for a novice singer to be able to adequately assess her abilities. A good self-analysis shows in which areas you still need to work, and where you need to consolidate the result.
Promoting an Aspiring Singer
When there is not a single doubt about your abilities, you need to go further. Take charge of your own promotion. Use the following channels:
1. Search for a producer. Find your producer who will be in charge of your promotion. Your abilities are important, but it's good if the producer turns out to be not little known in certain circles.
2. Recording one song. It should be noted right away that recording one song is an expensive pleasure. The total cost consists of the cost of renting a studio and equipment, attracting musicians and backing vocalists. However, the recorded composition can be sent to the radio, where listeners will notice it. And this is the beginning of a dizzying rise.
3. Participation in a musical project. In fact, there are not enough talents on the modern stage. If you do not declare yourself, success will not come. Are you confident in your abilities? Then hurry to any musical project. Perhaps this time it will be your star that will light up!
Master one of the musical instruments. This will positively affect your talents. In addition, you can create a musical group and achieve success with its help.
Think about the existence of the Internet. Record an inexpensive but impressive video and count the views. It is important to impress the audience with talent, enhanced by spectacular details. Many modern popular artists use the Internet for their own promotion. Sergei Shnurov (Leningrad group), the "Mushrooms" group, and even Philip Kirkorov, whose talent and fame have not required any confirmation for a long time, are still close to the Internet and their fans. And foreign artists do use the possibilities of the Internet to the fullest.
Sign up for an Instagram or YouTube account. But, try not to be imposed, but really attract attention with your creativity. If you do not know how to do this, then contact the SMM specialists.
Tell your success story. Remember that you can attract the interest of the public with an interesting legend, and only then demonstrate your talents.
Believe in yourself, keep your dream in your head, and it will definitely come true! Every new day, become a little better than yesterday - this is the key to success.

Well, what girl does not dream of standing on the stage and, squinting from the dazzling light of spotlights, singing loudly and sweetly to the applause of the public? What can I say, a considerable part of adult women are already dreaming about this. Only now someone lives with dreams all his life, and someone goes to this dream, like a powerful icebreaker "Arktika" - through any obstacles, to fame and recognition.
What do you need to do to become a singer? How to fulfill your dream?
- Appearance
The singer is not just a girl singing in the bathroom or while washing dishes. This is a public figure. Accordingly, it should look great. So that everything is perfect - and makeup, and your hair, and skin, and, of course, your own unique style. Moreover, it is necessary to look like a king at any moment of life. Even at night. In a word, we get used to the new status in advance - and it will be easier to tune in to win. - We fight with complexes
Naturally, no one will pay attention to you if you are shy, shy, blush - and this is even before you go on stage. And on the stage you completely forget - what to sing, how to watch, and why you came here at all. Therefore, we begin to fight with our complexes in advance. If we can’t cope with them on our own, we turn to specialists at trainings, read useful articles, experiment on relatives, in companies of friends, at parties, etc. - Vocal lessons - instead of lunch, on weekends and holidays
It's good to have absolute pitch and a powerful voice, from which faceted glasses explode. But a well-placed voice is a completely different step. And any vocal specialist will immediately determine whether you are an amateur or have already curbed your voice. Therefore, run to the teacher for an appointment! Preferably for the best. We do not spare money, a lot depends on the voice delivered. There you can also get useful acquaintances and learn about the most secret secrets on the topic - "how to sing so that everyone around is stunned with delight." - “The song helps us to build and live”
If you are already attending vocal lessons, this does not mean that the rest of the time you need to relax and take care of the nerves of your neighbors - sing everywhere! Practice, practice and only practice. Before going to bed, in the shower, at work at lunchtime, in karaoke bars or at home into a microphone. Don't miss a single vocal competition, a single opportunity to showcase your talent. It happens that a miracle happens so unexpectedly that you don’t even have time to get confused - and already a star! - Voice is your future working tool, and your business card
Therefore, take care of it. If you were mowed down by a terrible ARVI, and it was like a coil of barbed wire was stuffed into your throat, don’t even try to sing. And not only sing, but even talk or whisper. It is also worth refraining from singing at elevated temperatures and during critical days. - Mastering musical instruments
With this extra talent, you will get noticed faster. And the prospects are getting wider. If you master 1-3 musical instruments, then the long-awaited dream will turn towards you, and the opportunity to get into any musical group increases many times. - Master special programs on your computer so that your voice sounds perfect in the recording
Only then will it be possible to demonstrate your talent to the producer. No skills or opportunities? Reach out to friends. - Learn to move
Not only, stewing, standing with a hairdryer instead of a microphone, dancing hopak or swaying like a mountain ash in the wind - but presenting yourself on stage like an artist. That is, to move so brightly, dazzlingly and bewitchingly that even Shakira would envy you. Use the whole arsenal of tools for this - articles, video tutorials, courses, training from specialists, communication with professionals on forums, etc. - Want to hit the world?
Do not sing other people's songs when you go on any stage or even to friends in the kitchen with a guitar - write your own songs. You can, of course, turn to professionals, but this is costly, and a novice singer is usually tight with money. Therefore, write yourself or ask friends for help. Surely in your environment there are talented poets, and maybe even budding genius composers.
Have you already written your song? And have you honed your skills? And show yourself not ashamed?
So, it's time to look for exits to the big stage.
What are the options?
- Record your own CD in the studio and send your song to all radio stations, to all potential producers and in general wherever you might be interested. Do not be afraid if you are refused, ignored or completely rude: the path to the stars - it always lies through thorns.
- Record a clip and do the same with it. And also put it on the Internet, not forgetting to send the link to all your acquaintances, friends and useful people. For help in creating a clip, you can contact the studio, or you can record it yourself. By the way, many modern musicians started with home videos on YouTube.
- Don't forget, when you burn a clip or disc, get sincere support, approval and constructive criticism of their friends (although criticism from the outside is always more useful and honest).
- If everyone likes your song- friends, relatives, strangers in social networks, if the number of likes under your video is growing rapidly, and the neighbors are knocking on your battery, demanding an encore - do not rush to crumble into golden star dust, move on. Record a new song! Let them wait for your songs like rain in the middle of the desert, looking at the Internet every hour - but is there a new one?
- And - believe in yourself. Even failure is experience. Draw conclusions, correct mistakes and try again and again until recognition comes to you.
- Have you already received offers? Do they call, write “important people”, offer to star in a video, sing on the radio, perform at a corporate party or in a club? Be careful! At best, you can run into scammers, at worst ... Let's not talk about the worst. Just be careful. Before agreeing to anything, check the caller's contacts and the veracity of the offer. If “it seems to be true ...” - take a friend, husband, stronger guy with you so that no one even has the thought of offending you.
- If you don't like something about an offer you've received, reject it. Look for the person you can trust.
- Look for musicians to form a band with. A musical group with a bright soloist will be noticed faster than one soloist. And it will be much easier to break into clubs with a group. And from the club, the path to the stage is much shorter. The exception is if people stop in the middle of the road because of your voice to burst into tears of happiness and ask for an autograph. Then you can do it alone.
- Look for your own style. Original, not like anyone else. In clothes, in presenting yourself, in music, in texts. So that listening to you, people would say - “Wow, how great! Never heard anything like it." Look closely at the multi-colored and vocal-variegated "mass" of show business - a rare rarity when you can single out someone specific, not like the others. But you don't want a one-day fate for yourself, do you? Therefore, work for the future, and not for a momentary result and a full house in a karaoke bar.
Forget the words - “I can’t, I don’t know how, I don’t want to, I’m tired, it’s all in vain”! Only positive and self-confidence! Otherwise, it's really all for nothing.
Don't expect it to be easy get ready for a long and difficult journey. Although miracles have not been canceled. Especially for those who believe in them.
If you dream of the glory of a great singer, be sure that this is the dream of millions more people, which means that you will have to withstand very strong competition. How to achieve heights in a musical career? How to become a singer?
If you do not have a sponsor who will pay for the services of a producer, and you yourself do not own a round sum, your way out is either to look for a producer on your own and convince him that you are a profitable financial investment, or to make the producer find you himself.
To do this, you need to become not just a good vocalist, but also a good marketer.
It is singing that is the fundamental skill of any singer; without it, all subsequent steps are unlikely to make sense. Therefore, first of all, you will have to contact a vocal teacher and learn how to sing.
Even if you don't have much talent, the good news is that the voice is an instrument that will work properly if you know how to use it.
Singing is also about knowing how your voice works and what it can do. Competent voice production can drastically change your idea of your own vocal abilities. And even if you think you sing well, you will have to constantly hone your skills.
Good choice of repertoire
Covering other people's songs can be an effective start. The main thing at this stage is to choose the right repertoire.
Don't just rely on your favorite songs. The main criterion in choosing the first song is that it should best demonstrate your vocal range. Choose the style of music that suits you best.
Be guided by the rule of the golden mean: you should not rehash a little-known song, it is less likely to make a person want to delve into and listen, but a song that “sounds from every iron” can become a repulsive factor. 
The creation of cover versions has become especially popular now. The difference between a cover version and a simple rehash is that the singer shares a new vision of a piece of music, offers his own arrangement, and experiments with vocal delivery.
If you have experience in making music or if you can ask someone else for help, try to record such a cover. At a minimum, this method will help draw the attention of fans of the original song and its artist to your person. And the more different artists you cover, the more people will be able to find you.
Strive to record songs of your own composition. They are much more interested in a potential producer.
We promote ourselves
To become a singer, you must learn and present yourself as a singer. Let people know that you exist.
How to get ahead on the internet
One of the easiest and most affordable ways to earn popularity among a large number of people and increase your chances of being noticed as a producer and becoming a singer is a channel on the world-famous YouTube video service.
Upload videos with your performance of songs, choose competent titles and share them with your friends on all social networks, attracting subscribers to your channel.
Create accounts for your promotion on such popular platforms as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, register on music forums, share links to your channel and update information about your activities in time.
Do not forget to respond to comments - create a friendly aura around you.
Perform wherever you can
The Internet is the Internet, but there are ways to attract attention outside the computer screen. Do your best to be noticed - both by the masses and by influential people from the show business who may be among them and help you become a singer.
Perform at city holidays and festivals, sing karaoke, try yourself in various competitions and talent shows. In any case, you get an immediate response to your performances and contact with potential fans.
At the same time, train yourself to interact with the public. You must learn to feel as comfortable as possible on stage and be able to interest the audience of listeners with your performance. Study how she reacts to you, analyze your performance, work on your mistakes.
If you write your own songs, try recording them and suggesting them to a local music radio station. You can also get a job as a vocalist in a restaurant or shopping center.
No matter how talented you are, the chance of becoming a singer without getting noticed by powerful people is extremely small. Therefore, make sure that your social circle provides such an opportunity.
Go to music clubs and do not miss parties and events attended by musicians and near-musical figures, make useful contacts.
Pre-make demo versions of your songs in the studio and record them on digital media - when someone is interested in your work, you will always be ready to give songs for listening.
Send demos to record companies, write to production centers.
Basically, this stage, of course, concerns large cities; if you live in a small town, moving in this direction can be problematic or completely impossible. Even be prepared for the fact that in order to achieve your dream you will have to move to the capital.
Take care of your image
Since you are thinking about how to become a famous singer, you must remember that this very concept implies the publicity of your person. Among the current variety of singers and a huge number of competitors, having vocal talent is, of course, necessary, but this alone is not enough.
You need to attract attention to yourself from the moment the viewer sees you, so prepare yourself for a new status in advance - work on your image.
Tidy up your appearance. If necessary, go to a beauty salon and consult with specialists. Pay attention to sports and watch your diet to keep your physical shape in excellent condition.
Dancing or gymnastics will help develop the plasticity and flexibility of the body, as well as get rid of awkwardness in movements on stage.
To be a singer, you have to be a perfectionist. No matter how well you've learned your songs and how much progress you've made with your vocals, it's no reason to relax.
Carefully rehearse every song you choose for your repertoire. Achieve the perfect performance of one, and only then begin to train the next.
Try to rehearse every day, but do not overstrain your vocal cords and monitor your condition.
Do not succumb to difficulties
Stock up on patience - one of the most important and necessary qualities for anyone who wants to be a singer. Most likely, at first you will hear refusals, and more than once, but do not give up. Remember, almost all of today's singers, who are now heard by millions of people, started small and came to success through hard work and hard work.
Be confident in yourself and your skills. Don't be afraid to make mistakes - learn from them.
There is no shortcut to become a famous singer. But the presence of charisma, perseverance, activity, courage and, most importantly, talent, significantly increase your chances of getting into the musical Olympus.
The singer is not just a beautiful girl from the cover, it is, first of all, a profession. If you want to succeed in it, you need to work hard on yourself and on the basic qualities that a professional singer should have. So where to start:
- Listen to a vocal teacher. This person will accurately determine whether you have musical abilities, talent, whether you need to practice singing or if it’s not for you. In addition, it will help you decide on the most suitable genre of performance for you (rock, pop, jazz, folk singing, etc.)
- If there is order with the voice, we work on the development of charisma, charm and on the appearance / image, plasticity. A good voice should be presented beautifully and interestingly to the audience. You must become special, original, unlike other singers. You must want to see and hear again and again. A good example for you is Justin Bieber - a simple boy who became famous for his voice and charm, but really succeeded after serious training in the dance studio, gym and after a change of image.
- Participate in amateur activities at the city level, gradually moving to the level of the region and the country. Record your performances, analyze what you don't like and hone your skills.
- Record a few songs in the studio and send them to all possible music companies, put the records on the Internet, try to get into the local radio - you never know where luck will smile at you.
- Develop perseverance, will and faith in yourself. The path of the singer is full of difficulties and failures. Only with true faith in success will you get into the musical TOP.

In the case of children, a special burden and responsibility falls on the shoulders of the parents. It is very important here that it is the child himself who wants to sing, and not his parents.

How to become a popular, famous singer
Unfortunately, neither a beautiful voice nor the implementation of all of the above recommendations guarantees popularity. In any case, you will need promotion. You can, of course, find an experienced producer or PR manager who will professionally promote you, but this pleasure is very expensive. There is an alternative - there are many show programs on television in which you can make yourself known throughout the country and become popular almost instantly.
Cheap and cheerful, but the result can exceed all your expectations! And also start a page and constantly upload your best works there and popularity will not keep you waiting!
If you think that in order to become a famous and beloved singer, only connections, only money, or only voice are important, then you are mistaken.
How to become a famous singer: vocal data
Good vocal skills are required. Assess if you have a voice to sing on stage, whether it is well set, how developed your ear for music is. Know that musical talent is either given to people from birth, or developed through hard work with music teachers from childhood. In adulthood, it is very difficult to develop a voice and develop an ear for music.
How to become a singer: external data
A presentable, attractive appearance is required. Remember that the singer's job is to perform in front of the public, which should be pleased to look at the star. Of course, there are no comrades for taste and color (whether you are even a redhead, even a blonde, even a mulatto - it doesn’t matter), but certain criteria for appearance must be present.
How to become a famous singer: artistry
Watching the singer, who stands on the stage almost without movement, is mortal boredom for the viewer. To do this, people can go to the opera, and not to the concert of a famous young singer. Think about whether you can move freely and artistically, make beautiful gestures and movements, look at the audience, if there is any constraint and tightness. For the development of such qualities, acting courses and dance clubs help well.
How to Become a Singer: Composing Music and Poetry
This is not an obligatory quality, since today a lot of musicians and poets work on creating songs. However, if you know how to play a musical instrument (guitar, piano, etc.) and also compose rhyming lines easily and with inspiration, then this is an extra plus for the producer (about him a little later), because he will be able to save a lot on you - you will be a singer, a poet, and a musician all rolled into one.
How to become a singer: a rich "patron" (dad, husband, friend)
This is also not a mandatory item for an aspiring singer, but it will not be worse from having a patron - that's for sure. Just keep in mind that if you are a complete mediocrity, then sooner or later this person (even if he is a billionaire) will get tired of investing money in you without financial return.
How to become a singer: the necessary personality traits
In addition to all of the above, the singer must have the following number of personal qualities:
- diligence;
- perseverance;
- stress tolerance;
- willpower, etc.
Keep in mind that the work of a singer, and especially a successful singer, is often hard labor (“chess” in the Russian outback, tours abroad, the inability to see family and friends for a long time, endless rehearsals, recording songs in the studio, shooting clips), which, Of course, no one is going to take out "out of public view" on the TV screen or on the pages of glossy publications. Remember that if you decide to connect your career with the stage, then you also firmly connect your whole life, including your personal one, with it.
Who is a producer and what to do if he is not?
The producer of the singer is the one who settles all her problems. You enter into a contract with this person, according to which he receives a part of the profit (or even almost all) from your performances and other aspects of creativity. In return, the producer takes care of everything from your image, wardrobe, food, accommodation and ending with the organization of concerts and tours.
If so far you are just an aspiring singer, with talents, but without patrons and producers, then your ascent to fame will not be easy for you. However, remember that nothing is impossible. Use every opportunity to show yourself and your creativity to the public. Do not hesitate to perform in night restaurants, rest homes, corporate parties, out-of-band music competitions, etc. Post your art on the Internet. If you are appreciated, they will start talking about you, telling your friends, among whom there may be a real producer. Always carry a few discs with you of recorded songs you perform, as well as contact details where you can be contacted. In general, keep it up!
