Actually.. It a very hard task to become a  "singer" You must take music lessons dance lessons and singing lessons! It takes lots of money and very hard work. Yes it may be your dream of fame and fortune but is it your talent? Is it what no one can stop you from making your dream come true?\n\nThink of how many other people want to be a singer. Millions! Many people want to become a "singer" but they might just be stuck in the garage!\n\nThink of all the things you'll need. Equpment to make CD's and people to support you. A band ( unlesss its acupella )you'll need professional music equipment. Think of all this! I'm not trying to distroy you dream but it is a very very hard dream to make true.\n\nFollow your dream, don't distroy it.

most of the talent you are born with. If you are ok, you can get a singing coach but those born with it might have a greater chance of being more vocally gifted.

Make sure that you can sight read.  \n\nChoose a song that you can sing well, and is in your singing range.  \n\nThey will also have you singing the scales, so they know what voice range you are in, such as Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass\n\nMake sure you can sing on key!  and can hold your singing part when somebody next to you is singing another part\n\ngood luck!

Absolutely you can be a pop singer at any age.  Pop isn't about the age of the artist, it's about the style of music that is considered "pop" at the time.

You do have talent.  To develop, get with a local band and practice.  It's way different than karaoke.  With the tech, just takes practice.  The tougher part is working with others.  If you can survive an instrument player or back up vocal who can't stay in pitch, you can go pro.  By survive, I mean make it sound great anyway.  Working with pros means being skilled enough to stay with them through chord and rhythm changes.  It only comes with practice.\nGreat look too, by the way.  CUTE!!

How to Develop Your Own Voice\nHow the voice is created, the parts of the body that produce your voice, how each part of the body effects the make up of the voice, how it all works together\n\nLet's Listen!\nHoe the voice can be altered, techniques that actors & professionals use, how to develop your voice\n\n\nAttitude - Cause & Effect\nHow attitude effects the voice, the effect ones voice can have on others, use of postitve v's negative attitudes, how to manage your attitude & the vocal effect\n\n\nVocal Exercises\nBreathing technique, relaxation, opening the vocal chords, developing resonance, increasing power, developing richer soft tones, use of the mouth, diction & clarity, pronounciation, exercises for the mouth vocal projection.\n\n\nCreating Vocal Impact\nPortraying confidence through the voice, gaining attention by using vocal command, vocal control - variation, pitch & tone, use of pauses, use of emphasis, real vocal projection - the power of the projected whisper, the full bodied voice, socking it to them!.\n\nSome tips on how to approach various other styles of music are as follows:\n\n\n\nR & B: sing with a very wide smile. This will open up your resonator (natural amplifier within your facial muscles) and place your syllables as tightly as possible using your cheekbone muscles. This will prevent any vibrato in the voice.\n\n\n\nPop: the pop style is essentially the same as R & B but with a much lighter application. More laid back and in a sort of “boyish” or “girlish” style.\n\n\n\nClassical: is definitely a more vertical application – not rounded like in R & B or Pop. The use of proper vibrato is an essential component of this style.\n\n\n\nCountry: is a mix of classical, pop and R & B. You could often hear a slight crying feel and a minor nasal application. Quite a few country singers use a light, breathy sound, which is also often used in pop singing.\n\n\n\nGospel: uses a classical application, but lately gospel is being associated with the R & B style. I guess it is really a combination of the two.\n\n\n\nHard Rock: uses a heavy-duty application of the classical style. Often using lots of vibrato will help to distinguish the singer from the loud guitars and drums and enable him to “cut through”. \n\n\n\nIn all of the above cases, the singer needs to have a strong technical foundation to their singing. Style is achieved by varying and applying the technical elements in different ways.

Make a demo.  You won't get anywhere without anything recorded.  The industry is ridiculously tough to get into, so you have to work hard at it.  You have to promote the hell out of your music, and create a buzz.  Start small, then work your way up.  The major labels mostly look at smaller, indie labels for new talent now.  Start performing live at local venues.  You're not going to just walk into a major recording contract.

If you really want to be a professional, you need to approach your training like a professional.  Hire a good coach and follow his or her instructions meticulously, including all the practice and exercises (scales, tonals) for at least as long a period as suggested by the coach.  Also consult with the coach on health issues; what foods to eat and to avoid, what vitamin and mineral supplements, how much sleep, etc.  A real, professional singer uses the throat hard, and must learn how to care for it.  And no more screaming at ball games!  Learn to applaud instead.

You're very vague. There are lots of different careers in the music business. Please expand and I'll try to reply as best I can\n\nEDIT : Singer. Are you singing now? Do you go out to clubs/pubs and sing? If not, why not? I hear so many people saying they want to be a singer, but aren't actually doing it. So the first bit of advice would be, start singing in front of an audience, ANY audience, it doesn't matter. This way you will get better at singing, at banter with the crowds, etc etc. Even karaoke is better than nothing.\n\nThe next thing would be to try and record a demo, if you write songs, so much the better, if you don't, you need to find someone who can write for you. NB There is no point going in to a studio to record standards like "Summertime...and the weather is easy..." It will go straight in the bin. \n\nSo you need to find a good song you can sing, and then get it recorded to a professional standard. You may have to do this process many times before you are happy with the track(s) you want people to hear.\n\nThe next stage is the REALLY tricky bit : you have to find someone who believes in you enough to want to spend HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS to promote you. Tall order? You bet! Try finding a manager, they will be experienced in talking to people who actually work in the industry.\n\nAnd the final thing - BE PERSISTENT. If at first you don't succeed, and all that.\n\nAs a final note, if you are not very attractive, or over 25, the odds are REALLY stacked against you!!!\n\nGood luck.\n\nPS You could always just apply for The X Factor, of course. Though the odds on getting anywhere on that show are slimmer than John Prescott winning the 100m race in the Olympics.\n\nPPS Catweazel's right, it really IS full of ar*eholes.

I think they would just cause they may not sing very well on there own, they can start a band and have someone stand beside them and sing, it may help carry there voice to where it needs to go, or even just a back up singer for someone with a greater voice, I think anything is possible!

Where in Northern CA are you?  \n\nIt's not enough to have a good voice, you have to have some training to do V/O.  Take a class or two; they'll also help you set up your demo CD.  \n\nSubmit the demos to agents; they're the ones who will get you the gigs.\n\nGood luck!

i dont really know, but i guess, you should search over the internet. But if you can find one, you better join a school choir. i'm also a beginner with this voice lesson. i do join a school choir. i've been doing this for a year, and i guess i has helped. Somehow, i now know  how to sing with my diapraghm but not as good as others. everytime we're having a practice for the choir, we always start it with a vocalization.

It takes alot of work and you have to already be able to sing soprano naturally.....i can hit them but it was after voice lessons, practice and training....if you want to hit those note i suggest you find a good vocal coach. it's not really something someone can teach you in this format

that's good and normal... you've got your talent.. use that to make you and other people happy with your voice.. you have to believe that you can do sing and you have a beautiful voice.. well, you still can use your voice talent to collecting money.. you see, you can do anything with your voice.. you must be convidence with yourselve.. maybe one suggestion from me, go to the singing teacher or whatever it is, so you can improve your talent.. that's all..

Its best to find a local University with a music school or college.  Often graduate students will teach lessons for reasonable fees.  Another option is to contact the local Musician's Union and ask for a referral of voice teachers in the area.  If all this fails, contact the choir director at the Middle or High School and see if they teach lessons.  Sometimes church choir directors will also teach.  Lots of options.... good luck!
