SINGING LESSONS:
- Have the capability to record yourself.
- Try a bunch of different styles. Narrowing down what you do, want to do, and what you don’t want to do is good to know. It’s important to be honest with yourself.
- The money will come. Don’t worry about getting paid too soon. When the paying job comes, you know you walk in seasoned and you know what to do.
- It’s about preparing yourself for the bigger opportunities, because you’re learning all the time.
- Get a demo of yourself singing that is professionally recorded and mixed pretty well and is a nice capture of what you do best.
- Keep learning so you can be the one that can make stuff happen. The more you can do on your own the better.
- Having a comprehension of what it takes to record songs will be really beneficial.
- No amount of money can make you famous.
- If something seems weird or unfair, it’s worth talking to your songwriting community about it.
