I am really excited today because I just completed my first podcast and here it is:  Please click and listen!  :)

click here: Jobs For Singers! -13 ideas of creative jobs for singers to do while trying to get their big gig.  The goal of this podcast is to help you get out of your day office job while keeping you singing and paying rent!  I did most of them by the way and am proud of it

My biggest point in doing this podcast is to show you that you can, as a singer be working, as a singer on some level all the time.  I myself have NEVER had an office day job, so I am proud that you can be paid to sing.

This is going to be the first of my Podcast series so I would love to hear some feedback from my subscribers.  Any ideas you’re looking to hear me cover would be great to know as well!

(Can you tell that I am a little excited?  I actually figured out how to do this- it was soo technical for me…geez. )

Happy Singing!

Before you try and get the world to find out about your singing talents, get your own community on board rooting for you.  The tighter, more specific the group you are involved in the greater chance that they will back and promote you with true passion.

People really want to help one of “their own” make it.  It gives them pride and something to get into.  Just think of your favorite sports team.  You are into them because they are from your city, so you feel connected to them.  Same thing here on a smaller level.

This doesn’t just go for churches but they are a great example because they are larger scale groups of community that we can involve ourselves in.  Do your singing part as a member of whatever organization you are involved in so people know who you are.  Volunteer to sing at every fundraiser, event, or service that they will have you.

As a result, your fellow congregants will view you as a professional singer (whether or not you are being paid).  It is one thing to tell everyone that you sing, it is another thing for people to see you sing regularly. This will up your professionalism in their eyes.

As a result your fellow congregants will help to “spread the word” about who you are to people they know.  “Well we just have a lovely girl who sings the hymnals for us every Sunday,  she’ should be the next Little Mermaid voice, you should use her for your nieces wedding etc…”

Then hopefully one day, one of those people will recommend you to a record guy, a club owner, or a recording studio, or maybe someone connected to them will.

Another benefit of being a known singer at whatever community you are involved in is that it creates a “built in” audience.  Have a show and they will come.  They will be there to support you and for the social aspect since they all know each other.  As a result of your volunteering, your leader will probably be happy to announce your concerts, gigs, or shows at services or meetings.  You also, may get access to the facilities for rehearsing or giving concerts.

Start with the people around you for your support team.  The larger of a pack you build as fans the easier it will be to add on to them to grow your following.  Plus it is nice to have a venue to practice singing in that is a supportive environment.  God knows, we don’t always find them.

Sing well!
