How do you become a singer?

Question

It's like my life long dream to become a singer, but I'm really not sure how. I'm in a chorus class in school, but is there something else that I can do?

Answer 1

Try to practice in morning 5am to 6am is the best time! Try to learn what is chord, minor major, when suddenly 7th come on chord what note you should select try to learn!

Answer 2

Chorus is a good place to start. You'll also want to look at private lessons. The more practice you get, the better you'll be. Are you still in school then? Look for a talent show at our school or in your area to start with. That will get you some experience.

For more experience, which is another aspect of the career you'll need in order to move forward in your career, try auditioning for the school play and any local musical theatre groups. I know, I know, that isn't what you want. But the AUDITION part is really why you're going there. The more of those you survive, the more polished you'll be to pursue your dream. Look for open mic coffee houses, clubs, and bars (wit restaurants, since you're underaged!). Go to Karoake whenever possible, have Karaoke parties at your house, too. All of this will help you learn how to sing in front of crowds.

Every town has fairs, right? A lot of singers start by performing at Farmer's Market Nights, Fairs, and local festivals. Faire crowds want you to do well, so this is a great chance to practice.

Are you a church person? A LOT of churches have functions where you could sing.

Tell friends, family, neighbors, teachers, ministers, anyone in your community that you will sing at weddings for people. Then with your private singing coach you can work up a repetoire of wedding songs. Volunteer at first, but as you get better at it, you can start charging money!!!!

Good luck with this dream. Shows like American Idol make it seem like being a famous star is so easy, just go down and audition. But what they don't always show the TV audience is that most of those who "make it" have had TONS of experience AND training!!!!

Answer 3

Take private voice lessons. This is first and foremost as you need a real assessment of your voice and what you need to work on. After some lessons, join a community or church choir to get additional experience and exposure to other types of music. Do yourself a favor though and choose a group whose director is concerned with vocal techniques, not simply singing the right notes. Depending on what type of singing you want to do, you could also audition for the chorus of a musical theatre production. A singer should have formal training so as not to damage their vocal chords by singing imcorrectly. Developing good breathing techniques is also essential.
Singing takes committment to developing your instrument, in other words, your voice, just as any other instrument takes effort and time. Many, many people earn a living singing who are not necessarily famous and many still do it without ever being paid, simply because they love it. You need to determine what you want to do with it and how far you want to take it.
If you are in high school, try to get the lessons now and prepare yourself to audition for the various vocal music scholarships that are out there. I did and I won two voice scholarships. Start young and get good training and that will open up many different paths for you as a singer. Good Luck!!!

Answer 4

I was in choir back in high school too. But I wnet one step further & joined a local band. We sucked, but hey - it led to another one. Also try talent shows or ask about musical productions in a local area theater. Worse comes to worse you could always just go kareoke once a week fro practicing in front of a crowd.

Choir is a good place to start; then go to talent shows, audition for things, etc. A prouducer is bound to notice you. Once he/she does, you could get famous.
