  • Question
    How do I make my own song?
    Community Answer
    New songs should come from your heart and your experience in life. Start by choosing what heart-felt topic you want to sing about and then write a rhyming syncopated poem about it. If you play an instrument then you can put a tune and music to the poem. This takes a lot of talent and a lot of drafts before it works.

  • Question
    How do I know when I'm ready to sing in front of people I don't know?
    Community Answer
    Once you know you're in tune and have practiced the song well, and have trialed your singing in front of people you do know and trust (family and friends), then you're ready to go. Singing basically needs a good voice and a lot of practice. Record you're singing and listen to it; you may find some faults you will want to correct.
  • Question
    What happens if I have stage fright?
    Community Answer
    It doesn't matter if you have stage fright but if you really can't control it, try breathing and then close your eyes and think to yourself that you are the only one there. If that doesn't work, try facing your fears until you don't feel afraid anymore and just have fun doing it.
  • Question
    Can I become a famous singer when I am young?
    Community Answer
    It is best if you start singing from when you are just a child. Check out the bios of singers like Julie Andrews and see just how young they were. Your family would have to be behind you on this and be your wise council in how to pursue and develop your singing opportunities.
  • Question
    Should I be careful about what I eat or drink for singing?
    Community Answer
    You don't want to try and sing on a stuffed tummy. Just don't overeat before you sing. Have something to drink if you will be on stage for a long period. Warm tea without too much sweetener is good, as you've just warmed up your voice and you won't want something too cold to drink.

  • Question
    What do I drink to keep my voice nice when I want to sing?
    Community Answer
    Do not drink anything that will dry out your throat, like lemon water. Do not drink something too cold, as you have just spent time warming up your voice. Drink warm tea with a little honey. But experiment with that to make sure it's for you. Take small sips so that you don't choke.
  • Question
    Should you still attempt to follow your dreams if you are older?
    Community Answer
    You should not wait another moment to follow your dreams. If its something you feel in your bones, it doesn't matter how old you are as long as you are determined to be successful and true to yourself. Do it.
  • Question
    How do I get to be famous without the support of my parents? I've almost finished high school but they say they won't help me, that they want me to get a degree instead.
    Community Answer
    Ask yourself firstly why your parents don't support you. Find out from someone you trust if you really can sing. Perhaps your parents don't want to see you hurt. If the reason is financial, then there is a lot you can do now, for free. Learn your national anthem well and offer to sing at sporting events or national holidays in your community. Be famous in your own home, church, school, and community first.
  • Question
    What if people say I'm not a good singer but when I record it on my phone, my singing sounds great? I think I can be famous!
    Community Answer
    If other people are saying you are a bad singer, then ask them to use constructive criticism to tell you what they think is wrong (such as, you're not in tune, you can't reach the high notes, you sound strained, etc.). If a lot of people are telling you this, it's probable that there is plenty of room to improve. If they cannot provide constructive feedback, and you think you still sound great, even without auto-tune or effects, then they might just want to hurt your feelings. But do get some feedback from experts before assuming you can actually sing.
  • Question
    How do I dress like a popular singer?
    Community Answer
    Dress in a classy rather than a revealing way. A person who exposes a lot of their body to be popular is often not truly appreciated for their voice, as many people will end up ogling the singer's physique rather more than listening. Find your own style, one that fits both your personality and the types of songs you sing.
  • Question
    What if I'm not the best singer, but I can sing pretty well, like an 8.5/10? Should I still sing live?
    Community Answer
    You should, but only if you feel comfortable. You don't have to be the best to try, or even to wow the crowd. Just do the best you can, that's all that matters.
  • Question
    How old do I have to be a famous singer?
    Community Answer
    Anyone can be a singer. There's no limit. A "young" singer would probably be considered around the ages of 14-17 but there are many child celebrities who are much younger. Starting early is a great idea so you have time to practice and improve.
  • Question
    I have been singing for a couple of years, and I have been told I have a good voice, but my parents won't let me have any social media. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    You can always sing in a school play or join the school chorus or a church choir. Just keep practicing and get your voice out there, you never know who might be listening.
  • Question
    I want to become a singer, but how can I contact with the other musical companies whom I don't know as my family does not support me? What should I do?
    Community Answer
    I'm so sorry to hear that. They should just accept that that's what you love to do and deal with it. If you ever get a chance to go off and do what you love, then great! I'm sure if you search for music companies some might give you an email or a phone number. If you can find, this contact them and let them know what you want to do. Keep doing what you love, you will get there someday.
  • Question
    Can I change my name when I become a singer?
    Community Answer
    People used to often change their names when they wanted to be famous. Now you hear all sorts of real names of artists as well. Be proud of your name. If you really don't like the sound of your name, then you could use a nickname, or find out what your original name was and try that. It is best to be authentic and the real you. But yes, you can change your name, whether legally finalized or not, if that's your preference.
  • Question
    What if I am really shy?
    Community Answer
    Ironically, stage work can be great if you're shy because you don't need to connect directly or intimately with anyone but are just there to perform for everyone. Every good performer has nerves before appearing on stage, it is part of the edge needed to give your best performance each time. Remind yourself that you know your lyrics by heart, you have a great voice and unless you want to, you don't have to personally talk to anyone after you're finished but can sneak off to the back and go home.
  • Question
    Is it possible to get famous by just creating a YouTube channel?
    Community Answer
    It is. However, if to become famous is the only goal you have, your fame will turn into notoriety. So, if you do not propose something original or new - or at least a fresh outlook - you are destined to be the last in the queue of similarities. Think of the cost beforehand and carve out your unique style and differences.
  • Question
    What if I'm not too pretty, but I can sing, dance, and act?

  • Question
    How do I get people to actually listen to me instead of just ignoring my singing?
    Community Answer
    To get people's attention, communicate with your audience physically by moving around and doing some dance steps here and there. To engage the audience, you can call out, "Sing along!" or "Everybody clap your hands". This will draw more attention to your audience.

  • Question
    Is it possible for my child under 10 to sing for others?
    Community Answer
    Plan a little concert for the family and have the child perform in front of you all. If you go to church, then ask if your child can sing a song for your Sunday school or other faith-based gathering. Perhaps they will ask your child to sing in the main service. If your child knows your national anthem, have the chi practice it well and audition to sing for one of your sporting teams or on a national holiday. People love hearing a little child sing well.
