Answer 1

Hello, I hope I can help you out, I've been doing this professionally since I was 12, that's 16 years I've been playing and singing professionally. A lot of the answers above are right, to some degree. First, you need a great stage presence, charisma, something that lets your crowd know you are ment to be up there on the stage, confidence, without being cocky, you need to be in control of your audience. A great voice can only take you so far, if you don't have the born personality to be a rock star, then there really isn't a lot you can do to improve. But work on your voice, if you're not in lessons now, get in some, find a great teacher. Continue to write, and rework old songs that you're not satisfied with. I write hundreds of songs a month, but only a hand full of them are any good, but the bad ones, you can combine with other ones, till you get a great song out of three crappy songs. And for your lyrics, don't be typical or trite, think out side the box, some of my favorite writers are truly unique. Look at David Byrne, he never really wrote a love song, but he can make you feel emotional about paper, buildings, factories, etc. Learn to play a guitar if you don't already. This will also help with your writing. Even if you don't play it on stage, it's a great tool to write with. I've been playing blues guitar since I was 10, started professionally when I was 12. Listen to different styles, take what you like from them and leave what you hate. I started out playing strickly blues from the time I was 10 to 18, but now I'm playing a varriety of styles, and it's improved my guitar abilities. Looks are important, regardless of what others will tell you. This industry is concerned with selling the whole package. Look at The Beatles, Elvis Costello, etc, these people are known as much for their looks as they are with there music. Now that being said, make sure there is substance behind the image. Do your best to look nice, you always want to look a couple steps nicer than your crowd. If you look successful, people will treat you as such. Strange, but true. No matter what, don't stop playing. Even if you're in a band you can't dig, don't drop out to do nothing, don't stop until something else comes along. The more experience you get, the better you'll become. Lastly, never give up or compromise your dream.

Answer 2

You need stage presence and to project well and most of all a great backup band and manager...you can be the best singer in the world but if you do not have the backing or money behind you, you got nuttin...get your stuff out there and practice, practice, practice...also, sometimes it is not what you know but who you know so making connections in the music business is very important but do not get scammed...a lot of aspiring singers had that very thing happen to them when some scam artists in Nashville took their money telling them they could make it and then when the money was gone they left them flat...hang in there tho...sometimes it takes a lil dues paying before you can hit pay dirt...but always keep in mind that it is a one in a million long shot...good luck!

Answer 3

With a lot of luck. Everybody aspires to be a rock star, but very few actually makes it. Good luck.

Answer 4

You have to have a great stage presence. If you don't have that, you've got nothing. It's not something you can work on or develop, you're either born with it or not.
