How do you become a singer?What do you think it takes to become a singer?

Answer 1

first you need a good voice....watch idol that will give you an idea of what it takes..........

Answer 2

A singer is just not who sings in a stage or has a sexy attitude but a singer is a person who sings by the passion of one's heart.

Answer 3

Have a remarkable voice should be the only requirement. Unfortunately it is not. Apparently talent is not required. All that you have to do today is make some kind of noise, do the cookie cutter thing and be willing to sell , mind , body and soul to some pimp. Live fast, love hard, die young and in three months no one will remember your name. Among those who will forget will be your best friend and parents, because remembering will be painful.

Answer 4

Like others mentioned aving a good voice with passion helps. BUT anymore from what I hear, I hear a lot of terrible voices out there making big bucks. Quality of voice really goes down the tubes....ain't like it was many years ago.

Answer 5

You need singing ability to be a singer.

Answer 6

First talent, a range of octaves is a plus, demos are kinda pricey. but you need one to have a studio hear you and that's not an easy task to achieve. You should try open mic nights at bars and lounges, some times coffee shops have them too. hope it helped and best of luck.

How to become a famous singer

Just sing. Problem solved. Now let me ask you a more relevent question.... "Are you willing to pay the price to become an artist?"

In other words, do you have the persistence and patience required to maintain the constantly demanding discipline of perfecting voice? How can you tell? 1. Write down your vocal goals/dreams. Be as specific as possible: "I would like to sing at Madison Square Garden by the time I'm 30," or "I want to be the best praise singer I can be within 2 years."

2. Figure out how long and what kind of discipline it will take to reach these goals. You may need to employ the srvices of a vocal coach for this one. Does your teacher/coach feel you are overestimating your potential? Underestimating it? Create a five-year plan (or two-year plan, if you hope to reach your goals in two years). Write down these goals and a realistic plan to reach them. What are the intermediate goals within the plan? Come up with a schedule to reach those goals and write it down. What are the short-term goals within the plan? You may be able to create these only for the time leading up to your next intermediate goal (This creates the impetus for your daily practice rituals.)

3. Write an essay on whether you have the heart, will, tenacity, or stick-to-itiveness to reach these goals. Begin with an honest assessment of your strengths and weaknesses as a singer, as a musician, as a linguist, and as a voice student.

4. Do your goals/dreams require that you increase your physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional well-being? If so, how do you plan to accomplish this? Is it reasonable that you can do so?

5. Write down 10 good reasons for not putting in the effort to reach your goals defined in #1. (This is a very important step. Do not skip this.) If you cannot come up with ten reasons, set this aside for a day or two and come back to it. It is imperative that you clearly understand your shadow self and the reasons you may get in the way of accomplishing your goals.

6. Write a strong response to each of the reasons you listed in number 5, telling yourself how you will overcome these mental, physical, emotional, or psychic barriers to progress.

7. What are your conclusions? Can you reach the goals? Can you put in the every-day, persistent, patient practice necessary to become the singer you want to be? How tenacious are you?

8. Talk with someone you trust (someone who does not always tell you what you want to hear) about your dreams and goals for singing. Tell them your conclusions. Ask them for an honest assessment of your potential. (Do not base your final decision solely on the opinion of this person.)

9. Do your goals/dreams open to you the possibility of rejection? How do you respond to rejection? Do you have the tenacity to endure despite rejection? Remember that Lauren Hill was booed during her performance at the Apollo Amateur Night. Anita Baker was told , at one point, that she couldn't sing. Singers must endure adversity to reach their goals.

By this point, you should have a clear understanding of whether you have the discipline necessary to become an artist. Goals and dreams change during the process of becoming an artist. There is nothing wrong with altering them.

An old martial arts saying goes, Everyone studies for the wrong reason

Learning to sing and becoming a performer will change who you are. Those changes bring about changes in your motivation for singing. Changes in motivation bring about changes in one's goals for singing. Therefore, going through this process will alter your perspective on the process itself. All of this is a natural process. Rather than inhibiting this process, the above steps help to engage the evolution from singer to artist.
