I want to become a singer,but I don’t know how to get started.I wanted to know,do you have to pay to become a singer?Also,can you tell me stuff about being a singer?

As a recording engineer… and music director – I run into loads of people who want to become singers.

The one thing that most miss is: Being a singer is a lot like a person with BROWN HAIR. You either HAVE IT or you DON’T.

And if you have it… then you need to develop it.

I’ve worked with LOTS of people – some I’ve met here… to evaluate whether they should or should not pursue a career in music. Typically, I can tell within the first MINUTE – if a person is musically predisposed or not.

12 weeks before the finals – I picked the "two DAVIDS" on American Idol last season. I’m always with RANDY – in detecting when a singer is PITCHY or not.

My advise to you – is to find someone who you trust to evaluate your talent. If they say GO FOR IT… then by all means – get started. If they say "sorry" – find someone else and try again, if THEY SAY "sorry" then take up painting or something.

Alan Jackson – CAN’T SING A NOTE. But his engineers are a lot like me and do what I do… in the studio to fix a mediocre singer, and make them sound musical.

Tag me, on messenger, if you want more details.
