Question

okay for the music industry --- what should to do in order to snag a record deal and how hard is it to get into?

Answer 1

According to Superhead, all you have to do to get into a video is sleep with someone, but that's not always true. I think getting into videos isn't that hard, especially if you have a versatile look, a good portfolio and a great agent. The industry is a little tougher. To get into the industry you have to network, Network, NETWORK! Plus a little talent wouldn't hurt either. You should definitely have a demo so that your voice can go farther than your body can (people passing your demo around), and you should never shy away from an opportunity to perform because having a loyal fanbase is definitely a step in the right direction. And you should try to move to where the action is, ie: L.A., New York, or Atlanta. Good luck and I hope that helped.

Answer 2

First off, you don't want to be in music videos just for the sake of being in one. The ladies that you see in music videos these days get no respect. Hence the term "vidiHOES." They don't do the jobs for the money, they do them for the opportunity to be around fame rappers and such. Just listen to the Game's song
'Wouldn't Get Far.'
As far as the music industry, just start off independent. In others words, do your own thing. Some time and patience would pay off in the long run. The music industry is crooked.
