10 Things to Keep in Mind During Your Fabulous Singing Career
Some things to keep in mind while on your journey to becoming a professional singer…
No one cares about your vocal technique. What matters to the listener is the product. What you do in the practice room is your concern.
No one is handing out awards for practice. Get used to enjoying it. You'll be spending a lot of time alone in a room learning music.
Success comes and goes. Learn to ride the wave.
Be humble. There are things that only you can do, and plenty of things that others do better. The art is to know the difference and your limits.
Talent doesn't always win. Life is not fair. Yet really beautiful voices have a way of finding their place in the sun.
Histrionics are no substitute for real technique, which should enable you to move your listener. Being able to do this standing still, using your voice and not moving a muscle is the real art.
Learn to say no and mean it.
You will have trouble with managers. Real success means knowing how to manage yourself.
You can only really sing when you have to sing. The Muse isn't interested in hobbyists.
If you are going to teach, keep in mind that no one is going to listen to you until you reach 40. Make sure you actually know something.
