What do i do now?


Question Posted Sunday November 8 2009, 5:56 pm

I am 14/f and i love to sing. i cannot describe how much i love it. i play guitar and piano, and also have singing lessons. I think i am good, but i dont want to be the girl with a dream who it never really happened for. i believe i could make it famous, but i want to know what to do next. i have talked with my parents, my mum thinks i could make it. but my dad gave me the whole 'its a tough business' talk. it really put me down because its all i can think about. i dont really talk about it with my friends because most people think its a silly idea and would take the mick. I know that i could do this. if i had the chance.

I am from England by the way, so just wondering if anyone knew about any auditions etc. or places where you can meet other auditions in the south east region. I'll take any chance i can to make it, i love singing. So so much thanks x

Something to ask yourself: are you wanting to be a big star, or are you wanting to make music? If you're wanting to make music, then make music. Go out on the streets and play for whoever, hit the open-mic nights in your area, make Youtube videos of yourself singing "I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas". Perform as much as you can, for whomever you can. You'll learn a lot and you'll get better. Check out Danielle Eats the Sandwich and Kate Micucci on YouTube.

If you want to become famous, it's chancy. Fame is as much a matter of luck as anything else. All sorts of things have to fall into place for you to become a household name: public opinion, the right agent, the right label, etc. Talent's only a small part of it. The world is full of talented people that never get famous. If that's what you're shooting for, then chances are you'll be disappointed. If you want to make music, then make music. The fame will come if it comes.

Oh my gosh, lol...been through this!...i can relate to you....that "touch business talk" is so annoying!!!!it makes you feel like you aren't good enough, or there is no way you can make it. ew haha..its annoying....but anything you set your mind to, you can do it. It's hard, but believing in yourself is where you really need to start...even though the things people around you think may bring you down, you have to realize that this is not about them. its about you and what you really want in life. And only you can make it happen. As long as you really put your musical talent out there, you will get noticed, no matter how good you are....because some people are amazing, but they don't really show their talent, and the other people end up getting it because they went out there and showed everyone what they could do. Keep at it, and you will make it :)....I wish I could help you find singing competions down there in england but i'm not from there....but i hope this helped....and don't ever let anyone tell you can't do it...some people can be jealous too and tell you that you can't just to make you not succeed. Anyway...goodluck :)
