How can I become famous?

Question

I don't wanna go on American Idol, so how are some ways that I can become famous? I want to be a singer.

Answer 1

First of all you must get the glam out of the way and the stars out of your eyes. I’m not saying get rid of them because that is what is going to be your driving force. Just put them aside for a moment and focus on the bigger picture. Get your feet planted in reality before you reach for the stars. The days of the “Artist Development Deal” are past. Because of budget restraints recording companies no longer sign aspiring artist to develop them in hopes of making a profit in the future. You have to go to them with some kind of experience. Gaining success in the entertainment business is no different than gaining success in any other job. Think about the job market today and what the experts recommend doing in gaining the position that you want. You have to sell yourself to the employer, make known the skills you bring, and how they will benefit the employer. In short what can you do for the company. Like any business the reason for a talent agency or record company being in business is to make a profit. They want to be convinced that you (your music) is going to sell. Now, the question becomes how do I show a record label or talent agency that I can make them money. How can you prove your ability to produce a profit for them. First make sure you truly have talent or at least the potential, otherwise you are wasting your time and will be very disappointed when you discover the truth.
These are the things to do to prove to the Major record companies that you have what it takes. It is all in the vain of the Indie movement; self-promotion.
What a record company is looking for is Evidence Of Success.
* Have prior recording experience producing a product that has sold without a distribution deal, or in store presence.
* Promoted yourself to radio stations enough to get air play of your material.
* Sell downloads of your material without the use of a service i.e. iTunes.
* Have an “official” website (not a “MySpace”) that draws thousands of visitors (not hits) each and every month.
* Consistently draw large crowds to your shows.
* Get great media coverage in advance of every major show.
* Have a fan base actively working to promote your shows.
* Draw a good percentage of your income from merchandise sales.

You may say “Well there are others who made it without having to work so hard?” Yes, occasionally you will find a band or a singer who has enormous talent and they will not have to work so hard, they are the exception and not the rule. But, if you want what you say that you want, you must be willing to work in that direction. In today’s market having your own Evidence Of Success is the only guaranteed way to get yourself signed.

Answer 2

First off, can you sing? Do your friends honestly think you have a good voice. I can carry a tune, but the bag gets heavy. Next, if the answer to the first question is yes, then sing. Karaoke, join up with a band. And find a vocal coach and learn how to sing correctly. Honestly, just wanting to sing is not enough. Lastly, is the goal fame or being a great singer. If you just want fame, you better be really, really rich or really really hot. The people with fame these days are pretty much a waste of time. Try to be a person of whom you can be proud. Good luck.
