Answer 1

Never never give up on your dreams. They are so precious. Try hard and talk to everyone about this dream of yours to find out how you can make it come true. More and more people will support you, and if you pursue it, you'll never have any regrets. The beautiful thing about dreams is that they don't cost a cent, and everyone can have one; don't let yours go. Good luck, I'll be listening for you.

Answer 2

What some people have difficulties with is not figuring out what your dream is, but rather how to get it and this seems to be exactly your case. You should never give up on your dreams, because fear of failure is no excuse for not trying, there are only two failures in life; not trying and giving up. Nothing comes to those who will not try. You should do lots and lots of reasearch and try to join part time classes in singing which will give you an excellent start. I know that sometimes attending proffessional schools like that is very expensive and parents may not be able to afford great amounts of money,but you can phone the registry and ask how to apply for a bursary or grant if you are in full time education. Grab any opportunity you can, no matter how small or useless it seems. And another very important thing; pray to God, now you're probably rolling your eyes at this if you're not religious, but im not a bigot either, but i have an incredible faith and when it comes to realising your dreams, you have to figure out if thats what you really want and if thats what is right for you, once you know that, ask God to help you find what till fulfill you. Good Luck! and i wish you all the happiness in the world in whatever you choose to do... :)

Get as much voice training as you can get, both in school and out of school. Check for recording studios in your area and call them. Ask how much a demo will cost. Start saving your money until you have enough. Look around for a song you really love to sing. That's the one you want on your demo. Practice that song with your voice training teacher if you can. When you are sure you have it exactly the way you want it, go get your demo cut and send it out to record labels.

Once your demo is cut, start looking into prices for a CD. Get together with a band and start looking for singing engagements. This might mean you have to sing country or gospel or other songs, but avoid singing hard rock. Hurts your vocal chords.

If you don't get picked up by a record label right away, keep singing. Produce your own CDs. Put some really kicking music on the web. You can develop a fan base and a career this way so when a record label DOES express interest, you can tell them you've had 5,000 downloads of one song already. That translates into ready made sales on the net.

Answer 4

no u should not give. Never Give Up!!!!!. always perservere. Alot of singers dont know how to write songs that well that why they get other people to write them for them. Since u dont know how to write songs u can get other people to write them for u but u must pay them for there song.. Find a local recording studio and go and record songs there. You dont need a whole Cd if u dream on becoming a famous singer make a demo CD with about 3 or 4 songs and send it to major record labels that you would like to get signed with. Hope your dreams come true if u need more info get at me!!!!

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

If your only 15 years old you have a whole life ahead of you! You don't have to worry about giving up dreams right now. You can't give up EVER! You have about 4 years to try to get something started before you get to be an "adult" and can start making some of your own life-altering decisions. If you know with your whole heart that this is what you want to do there is no one in your way but yourself. You need to keep persuing your dreams! Reach for the stars. Get your families support and try to find some local recording studios. If you really want to do this then you need to get yourself out there and into the world. You need to use every bit of yourself to reach this goal and I believe in you!

Answer 6

Yes.. I had a dream before in which I had deja vu about the same dream. In the dream I suddenly felt like I had dreamed it before and then I became aware I was dreaming which was even more insane! I still went through the dream but I knew everything that was going to happen before it did because I could remember dreaming it before.. then I thought I woke up but I wasn't awake really I was still sleeping, I just stopped being aware.. and I dreamed that I was thinking about my dream deja vu, and dreams within dreams and what I would do when I woke up.. then I really woke up and I was confused... lol

Answer 7

Okay, do not give up!!!! I bet you are a great singer!! Take some lessons .. the key is to GET RECOGNIZED. If you are good, YOU WILL BE NOTICED. But it is important to be yourself, dont change because you want to become famous or whatever. Believe me, keep trying.. You CAN make it. Hope I helped.
PS. I have always wanted to do the same thing.

Answer 8

Why give up on your dreams? If you want to record a cd, it shouldn't be too hard. Go on Craigslist or something, and advertise for a voice teacher. Like anything, it's all about making the right connections. If you don't try to make the connections you need, then you have no one but yourself to blame for failing.

Answer 9

don't give up. Go to a small recording studio, and talk to some people. If many people have told you that you don't "have it" then forget the pro level. Start off small. If you are in the boston area, i'd be willing to try to get you recorded at emerson college. Promote yourself until you get discovered....making the cd is easy...it's where you want to go with it.
