I have had a dream to sing my whole life and I think I'm pretty good. I was just wondering if anybody knew a way for me to get into the music business it will be a huge opportunity for me to express m music and myself to the whole world. Because at school I'm not that popular so yea!! :) thank you and please no mean comments.

Well I've been singing my whole life, and it's my dream to also become famous someday. And someone had just recently told me that I should actually start looking places.
(But before I continue, popularity has NOTHING to do with your future. This might not sound true right now, but TRUST ME, someday you'll realize this.. I did).
Anyways, what I can think of to do right now is possibly talk to a music/choir teacher at your school about it? I'm sure they'd love to help, and I'm sure they'd know what to say, as opposed to some fifteen year old with a dream on Advicenators :)
Let me know how it works out for you! [ walkonthefire's advice column | Ask walkonthefire A Question ]

It doesn't sound glamorous at all, but these courses will teach you music the right way, will help you find your range, and how to use your voice the right way, you can hurt your voice if you sing wrong too much.
In the meantime, get a piano, keyboard or a piano app on your phone and look up playing scales on youtube. Once you do that, try singing the scales while playing them. This will train your voice to match the pitch. Also sing with your headphones on you your favorite songs and record it with another device, you will quickly learn how easy people go off pitch.
My advice is, some people are lucky and they break in to music. It's like winning the lottery. I am a musician, and it's hard, but for me it's my art and I would have it no other way. Singing is a great dream, but it takes hours. Literally hours of hard dedicated work. You're lucky you are still young and in school, enrolling in a choir program, talking to your teacher about studying privately can earn you scholarships and other things. Once you are learned, it's really up to you what to decide. [ TimothyDanger's advice column | Ask TimothyDanger A Question ]
