How to Get a Singing Job

Whether you want to be the next big star or just get a simple singing job in your town, this will help you out.

Steps

1. Keep an eye on the paper, magazines, radio or even the TV for opportunities to sing. When some come up apply for them as soon as possible.
2. Sing at talent quests, small concerts, open mic nights, karaoke, etc. Let your voice be heard wherever you can.
3. If you're old enough, try singing at bars, clubs, or even restaurants.
4. If you can play the guitar or any portable instrument, go do a spot of busking (playing for money on the street). Not only will it earn you a bit of extra cash, it will get your voice heard to others. Who knows, a talent agent might be walking by.
5. If you're not fully trained in singing, get some lessons. If you are very good, your teacher might recommend you to someone who could just offer you a job.

Tips

• Don't give up hope. If you audition for something and don't make it, don't think it's the end of the world. Be positive.
• Practice, practice, practice. Practice whenever you get the chance.
• Believe in your self, dont listen to people whom put you down.
• Even if your parents or other family members dont want you to become a singer (or think its so ridiculous to want a job THAT fantastic) follow your heart and do what you think is right.

Warnings

• You could be waiting for a long time but do not give up.
• Remember that rejection and criticism will only make you stronger in the end.
• Never put your self down it makes you feel like giving up.
• Quite a lot of places require you to get a busking permit to busk. Even though it costs money, it's better than not getting one at all and risking a fine.
