What you need to know to become a singer. Promotion of an aspiring singer

Singer's profession This is extraordinary work that requires enormous effort. To make it easier to evaluate your singing abilities, you need to remember the importance of such concepts as: appearance, charisma, artistry, hearing, voice, patience, smiling, cheerfulness, sense of rhythm, musical education.

The singer must keep a “zest” in herself. Only then will it be remembered for a long time by millions of people.

Come up with some special “tricks” (in movements, intonation, manners, and so on).

Explore all the boundaries that pass between the world of illusions and real world. You will always go one step forward towards your cherished goal if you learn to adequately evaluate your data. Do not deny every shortcoming and do not underestimate your dignity.

Develop a rhythm. Why is a sense of rhythm important? Because a skillful combination of dance and song performance is a winning position. By the way, not everyone can dance and sing (at the same time), as this has its own difficulties.

How to become a professional singer?

Girls and women who dream of “transforming” into a singer go through the difficulties of enormous competition. Get ready for the fact that you will have to fight for a long time for first place on the podium.

Work on yourself

First, decide why you want to become a celebrity. Set a clear goal (if it is missing, then it will be impossible to even become a “singer”).

Be sure to overcome embarrassment! You can’t be timid when you sing, as the treacherous trembling will definitely make itself known in the vocal notes. Sing often in karaoke bars.

You have several options. Choose one of them: city singer, singer for friends and relatives, famous singer. What have you decided to become? Think about this topic carefully!

Experiment with sounds and styles. Something new in musical world- one of the paths to success in show business.

Attractive appearance is the key to success on the stage

Attractive appearance for a singer - The question is quite controversial. Sometimes it plays a huge role, and sometimes it plays absolutely nothing. However, no one argues that chic external data serves as a “bonus” in achieving success.

Take care of yourself, be careful in your makeup and clothes. Visit gyms, beauty salons, hairdressers. Your appearance, let’s say, is (will become) a “decoration” of your voice.

Do not do it plastic surgery to be like one of the stars. Don’t pay money to have your individuality “taken away” from you!

Self-confidence will help in show business

Do you feel like you lack self-confidence? Level up her!

Always and everywhere try to take seats in the first row. Look into the eyes of those performing on stage, do not look away or down.

Thank yourself for achieving any success in life. Repeat to yourself that you are capable of more.

Do good to people! Love yourself, but don't get hung up on yourself. The “boomerang effect” works flawlessly: the more you give to people, the more you will receive in return.

Go often where you can voice your opinion. You need to speak out in such a way that there is not the slightest fear that you will say something stupid, that you will be laughed at, and so on.

Ignore people who don't believe in you. Stay away from them, communicate with them coldly and distantly.

Be yourself! You don't have to play a role ideal woman. You are not perfect (just like all other people).

Accept your “cons” and find at least small “pros” in them. Correct only what is bothering you in yourself. Everyday life and in a specific situation.

Moderate self-confidence is important on stage because it radiates positive energy.

Promoting yourself - where to start? Promotion repertoire.

Try composing poetry, music, song lyrics. Keep doing what you do best. They say that the easiest way is to start by writing poetry, and then rework it into a song text, dividing the poem into verses and chorus.

Songs own composition express emotions and feelings more deeply than a creation written by someone for you and your performance.

Make a good video for a song you wrote. Post it on the Internet.

Come up with a legend about yourself and your life. Think through everything in it down to the smallest detail, because any detail of your story may be charged with real “magnetism.”

Need a professional photo shoot! Fifty photographs is the minimum number of photographs that need to be taken.

Take your song creation to the radio. If management likes her, she will definitely be included in the rotation (for free!).

Follow Justin Bieber's example. He recorded his first hit in a random record company and immediately began to popularize it (posted it on various forums and websites, let relatives and casual acquaintances listen to it, posted a video version of the song on YouTube).

Creative music producer of my talent. How to find it?

This is not the first time you have woken up with the question: “How can I find a creative producer for my talent?” Take action! Don't wait for everything to work itself out.
Take your phone book. Call all your acquaintances, colleagues, classmates, girlfriends, relatives, neighbors. Ask them about what production centers they know of. Ask if they know the people you need. Who are they? Singers, actors, producers, musicians, poets...

Trust virtual world. Search on your own for what you really want to find. You can enter the phrase “production center” in the address bar. The Internet will give you a huge list of sites.

Study them carefully. Write down and save the contact information for each of them.

Rock, pop, jazz, classical?

By the way , Find out for yourself what direction your work belongs to (rock, pop, jazz, classical). There are no such producers who would deal in different directions in creativity. Each of them, as a rule, does his own thing (that is, specializes in one thing).

Call the centers, “running through” the compiled list. Please provide your name, occupation, and purpose of your call. Make an appointment. Let the “music guru” choose the place where you will meet. The timing is also best left to him. This will show respect to the producer.

What should you tell us when your “dream date” happens? Tell us about yourself, your plans, your positive qualities. Speak confidently, beautifully, watch your speech.

Remember that you will not find a creative “wizard” right away. Despite unsuccessful encounters, you must continue your search! Give up and you will lose. Depression and tears are unnecessary!

How to surprise and charm the producer? Talent and desire are sometimes not enough.

Let's assume that you managed to find your producer. Your task now is to amaze, surprise, and conquer him. How to do this?

Send recorded songs (of your own composition) or lyrics of your new songs to his email. Attach your best photo to the files. Don't think anything bad! A photograph is not necessary to physically attract the producer. The point is that it will be easier for him if he has the opportunity to compare voice and image (when you are not around).

Attention! There is no need to sleep with a producer! There are other ways to surprise your musical “assistant”.

Do you want to send him a short or detailed letter about yourself? Write it as correctly as possible, without a single mistake or typo. You will surely surprise someone with this!

You will be able to amaze him with detailed knowledge about how to breathe correctly, how to train your breathing, why “your” vowel is so important, how to sing high notes.

Breathing exercises for singers

We provide you with information that you can study right now, without putting it off on the back burner.

Vocal apparatus training

Producer, image, talent + hard work and the stage will bend before the applause of your fans

Remember that only hard work (combined with talent) will make all your vocal dreams come true! Much depends entirely on you.

What is required?

Performances! Take part in any activities and concert programs. Introduce yourself whenever possible. You should be recognized!

Training! Choose a pair famous songs that you like and sing them in front of the mirror. You need to be able to see your mouth and yourself when you sing.

Yawn! Don't be shy about yawning during rehearsals (when you hit high notes). What does this give? Setting the ideal vocal position.

Striving for uniqueness! Find something in yourself that sets you apart from other people.

Jams with musicians! Learn from them everything that you yourself do not yet know how to do. Share your knowledge and skills with musicians. Such mutual exchange is a wonderful combination of business and pleasure.

"Star" parties! Be surrounded famous personalities to become a little more famous.

You will have to work hard, and in gratitude for your hard work, the stage will submit to you! The producer will take care of your image on his own if he likes you.

Fans won't let you pass! Don't expect this to happen right now. You need to come to fame gradually, spending many years on it.

Advice for future stars from famous celebrities

What advice does Lady Gaga give to future pop stars? Watch your face. The kiwi mask is the singer’s favorite mask. Buy a kiwi, rinse it and peel it. Add about two hundred grams of low-fat yogurt. Prepare the blender. Mix yogurt and kiwi in it. Keep the mask on your cleansed face for twenty-five minutes. Wash it off warm water. Lady Gaga also advises choosing a career as a singer, not a man. She explains this choice with a simple phrase: “Career won’t wake up one morning and say that she no longer has feelings for you.”

Oksana Fedorova advises making such a miracle face mask. Mix the ingredients: hydrogen peroxide (tablespoon), baby soap(one hundred grams)

Jessica Alba claims that without classes in gym(on simulators) you can’t achieve even a little success on stage. You should go to the gym at least twice a week. Jessica, for example, trusts her body to yoga.

Madonna advises aspiring starlets the following: “Go to any difficulties for the sake of your career!” She says she would do anything to get on stage if she weren't a celebrity. Listen to Madonna! Criminal methods of achieving stage success are an exception.

By the way, Beyoncé says the following about time: “Take time to think about the future, about life.” You can’t just do what you love professionally. You risk burning out.

A singer is not easy beautiful girl from the cover, this is, first of all, a profession. If you want to succeed in it, you need to work a lot on yourself and on the basic qualities that a professional singer should have. So where to start:

Audition with a vocal teacher. This person will accurately determine whether you have musical abilities, talent, whether you need to practice singing or whether it’s not for you. In addition, it will help you decide on the most suitable genre of performance for you (rock, pop, jazz, folk singing, etc.)
If the voice is in order, we work on developing charisma, charm and on appearance/image, plasticity. A good voice should be presented beautifully and interestingly to the audience. You must become special, unique, unlike other singers. They should want to see and hear you again and again. Good example for you, this is Justin Bieber - a simple boy who became famous thanks to his voice and charm, but really succeeded after serious studies in dance studio, gym and after a change of image.
Participate in amateur activities at the city level, gradually moving to the district and country levels. Take notes of your performances, analyze what you don’t like and hone your skills.
Record several songs in the studio and send them to all possible music companies, post your recordings on the Internet, try to get on local radio - you never know where luck will smile on you.
Develop perseverance, will and faith in yourself. The singer's path is full of difficulties and failures. Only with true faith If you succeed, you will get to the music TOP.

How to become a pop singer

A pop singer is an image of an eternally young, successful, beautiful and singing woman. Not all pop singers today can boast of outstanding talent, but newspapers and fashion magazines constantly write about them, and they are discussed on the Internet and on the radio. How to achieve this?

Much attention is paid appearance and frequent changes of images.
Popularity is achieved not only through singing, but also through active work off stage, PR, black PR.
Participation in different projects on television in order to reach the largest possible audience.

In other words, pop singer there must also be versatile personality, be able to create intrigue, be unpredictable and always a little mysterious. Try it on yourself different images, experiment, be a little actress!

How to become a popular, famous singer

Unfortunately, neither a beautiful voice nor the implementation of all the above recommendations guarantees popularity. In any case, promotion will be needed. You can, of course, find an experienced producer or PR manager who will professionally promote you, but this pleasure is very expensive. There is an alternative - there are many show programs on television in which you can announce yourself throughout the country and become popular almost instantly.

Cheap and cheerful, but the result can exceed all your expectations! Also, create a page and constantly upload yours there best works and popularity will not keep you waiting!

So, it’s time to look for ways to reach the big stage.

What are the options?

Record your own CD in the studio and send your song to all radio stations, all potential producers and generally everywhere else where they might be interested in you. Don’t be afraid if you are rejected, ignored or completely rude: the path to the stars always lies through thorns.
Record a clip and do the same with it. And also post it on the Internet, not forgetting to send the link to all your acquaintances, friends and useful people. For help in creating a video, you can contact the studio, or you can record it yourself. By the way, many modern musicians started with home videos on YouTube.
Don't forget, after recording a clip or disc, gain sincere support, approval and constructive criticism from your friends (although criticism from the outside is always more useful and honest).
If everyone likes your song– friends, family, strangers on social networks, if the number of likes on your video is growing rapidly, and your neighbors are knocking on your radiator, demanding an “encore” - do not rush to crumble into golden stardust, move on. Write down new song! Let people wait for your songs like rain in the middle of the desert, checking the Internet every hour to see if anything new has come out?
And - believe in yourself. Even failure is already an experience. Draw conclusions, correct mistakes and try again and again until recognition comes to you.
Have you already started receiving offers? They call and write “ important people“, offer to star in a video, sing on the radio, perform at a corporate event or in a club? Be careful! IN best case scenario you can run into scammers, at worst... We won’t talk about the worst. Just be careful. Before agreeing to anything, check the caller's contact information and the veracity of the offer. If “it seems true...” - take a friend, a husband, a stronger guy with you, so that no one even has the thought of offending you.
If you don’t like anything about the offer you receive, refuse. Look for the person you can trust.
Look for musicians with whom you can form a group. Music band with a bright soloist they will be noticed faster than one soloist. And it will be much easier to get into clubs with a group. And from the club the path to the stage is much shorter. The exception is if your voice causes people to stop in the middle of the road to cry with happiness and ask for an autograph. Then you can do it alone.
Find your own style. Original, unlike anyone else. In clothes, in presenting oneself, in music, in lyrics. So that when people listen to you they say, “Wow, how great! I've never heard anything like it." Look carefully at the multi-colored and vocally diverse “mass” of show business - it’s a rare rarity when you can single out someone specific, different from the others. But you don’t want the fate of a “fly-by-night”, do you? Therefore, work for the future, and not for the immediate result and a full house in the karaoke bar.

Forget the words “I can’t, I don’t know how, I don’t want, I’m tired, it’s all in vain”! Only positivity and self-confidence! Otherwise, it’s really all in vain.

Don't expect it to be easy - get ready for a long and difficult journey. Although miracles have not been canceled. Especially for those who believe in them.

Many young girls have dreamed of becoming a singer since childhood; they are attracted by fame, money and beautiful outfits. But, unfortunately, the path to glory is strewn not only with rose petals, but also with thorns from them. To achieve the desired success, you need to work hard, until you sweat, but it’s worth it. But besides all this, you need to have talent, or at least glimpses of it, you also need to have good appearance, luck, artistry, a smart producer and, of course, the attention of the press. If you have all this, the public will definitely appreciate and love you.

To achieve what you want you will need:

· Vocal data;

· Recordings of songs;

· Own group;

· Bright appearance;

· Good producer;

· Participation in various musical and television projects;

· Press relations

Vocal abilities and attractive appearance are the main trump cards for achieving your success in the future. It is clear that such gifts of fate should not be neglected. You need to constantly improve your voice and your appearance as well. Learn vocal singing by registering in music school. There I will work with you on my skills in working with the public.

But good voice, musical education and attractive appearance are not enough. Will be needed specific examples yours musical abilities. Therefore you should write in professional studio recording demo versions of all your songs with good arrangements. With your songs you can appear before a new producer.

To start a career as a singer, you can start collaborating with a music manager. Since without him it is almost impossible to get on the stage. So you will have to perform in taverns and restaurants for the rest of your life. A good manager will help you get a job in good musical projects, and also, which is very important, introduce you to the right people.

New opportunities for career growth creates television. Now there are a lot of interesting things there musical projects, where auditions for young singers are held. You can try to catch your fortune on them. Maybe you won't win anything, but TV viewers will notice you and even good producers. You will also learn how to perform in front of a large number of people on a big stage.

If you are not yet able to do your solo career, then you can create a musical group. You can gather several like-minded musical people and conquer musical heights together with them. Record your CDs, try to give them to your friends and musicians and singers, you can also distribute them on the Internet. With these steps you can increase your popularity and your chances of being noticed by someone.

Remember about PR, you need to properly plan PR moves, for example, start a rumor about an affair with famous athlete or actor, participate in charity concerts, shows, give interviews to the press and in this way you can attract attention and the question “How to start a singing career?” will no longer be relevant to you.

If you believe that in order to become a famous and beloved singer, only connections, only money or only your voice are important, then you are mistaken.

How to become famous singer: vocal abilities

Good vocal skills are required. Assess whether you have a voice to sing on stage, whether it is well-produced, how developed ear for music. Know that musical talent either given to people from birth, or developed through hard practice with music teachers from childhood. As an adult, developing a voice and developing an ear for music is very difficult.

How to become a singer: external data

A presentable and attractive appearance is required. Remember that the singer's job is to perform in front of the public, who should be pleased to look at the star. Of course, there are no comrades in taste and color (whether you are red-haired, even blonde, even mulatto - it doesn’t matter), but certain criteria of appearance must be present.

How to become famous singer: artistry

Watching a singer who stands on stage almost without moving is mortal boredom for the viewer. To do this, people can go to the opera, rather than to a concert by a famous young singer. Think about whether you can move freely and artistically, make beautiful gestures and movements, look at the audience, whether there is any embarrassment or tightness. To develop such qualities, acting courses and dance clubs.

How to become a singer: composing music and poetry

This is not a necessary quality, since today a lot of musicians and poets work on creating songs. However, if you know how to play musical instrument(guitar, piano, etc.) and also easily and inspiredly compose rhymed lines, then this is an extra plus for the producer (more on him a little later), because he will be able to save a lot on you - you will be both a singer and a poet, and a musician rolled into one.

How to become a singer: a rich “patron” (father, husband, friend)

This is also not a mandatory item for an aspiring singer, but having a patron won’t make it worse - that’s for sure. Just keep in mind that if you are completely untalented, then sooner or later this person (even if he is a billionaire) will get tired of investing money in you without financial return.

How to become a singer: necessary qualities personalities

In addition to all of the above, the singer must have the following personal qualities:

hard work;
perseverance;
stress resistance;
willpower, etc.

Keep in mind that the work of a singer, and especially successful singer- this is often hard labor (“chasing” around the Russian outback, touring abroad, the inability to see family and friends for a long time, endless rehearsals, recording songs in the studio, filming videos), which, of course, no one is going to take “out of the hut” to TV screen or on the pages of glossy publications. Remember that if you decide to connect your career with the stage, then you firmly connect your whole life, including your personal one, with it.

Who is a producer and what to do if there is none?

The singer's producer is the one who sorts out all her problems. You enter into a contract with this person, under which he receives part of the profits (or even almost all) from your performances and other aspects of creativity. In return, the producer takes care of everything, from your image, wardrobe, food, accommodation and ending with the organization of concerts and tours.

If you are still just a beginning singer, with talents, but without patrons and producers, then your rise to fame will not be easy. However, remember that nothing is impossible. Take every opportunity to show yourself and your creativity to the public. Do not hesitate to perform in night restaurants, holiday homes, corporate events, casual music competitions and so on. Post your creativity on the Internet. If you are appreciated, people will start talking about you, telling their friends, among whom there may be a real producer. Always carry with you several discs with recorded songs in your performance, as well as contact information where you can be contacted. In general, go for it!
