Looking for singing jobs but don’t have the luxury of a traditional singing career? This career guide is designed to help singers find singing jobs and launch their careers!
Embarking on a singing career can be challenging, given the high level of competition and limited job opportunities. However, singing jobs may not be as scarce as you think and can be an excellent way to break into the industry. This article aims to raise awareness of the many singing jobs available to those who are less financially fortunate. If you have lots of money, endless connections, or were simply born into the singing industry, this article may not be for you.
Firstly, you need to decide which area of the singing industry you want to work in. In my opinion, there are two paths you can take in your singing career: the creative or the technical. While these lines may blur, it’s important to make some initial decisions about where you want to focus.
For the purposes of this article, let’s assume that you want to take the singing route. Next, you need to decide what type of singing you want to do. Do you want to be a lead singer in a band, sing in operas, perform in musical theater, be a solo vocalist, or something else entirely? Of course, this may change as your career progresses, but it’s important to have some idea of what you want to achieve. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t experiment with different genres or types of singing. By all means, rap on the weekends and rock out during the week, except on Sundays when you sing in the choir. Do whatever it takes to get a steady paycheck. You’d be surprised at the connections you can make by diversifying your skills. As you might have guessed, you won’t start your singing career at the top with a high-paying job that puts you on TV or the radio. Instead, you’ll probably start as a “nobody” with high hopes and lots of potential, unless your father knows someone who can get you a singing job.
Before we delve any deeper into this article, it’s important to know that like any career, you’ll have to pay your dues before you can reap the rewards. When you hear the next piece of advice, you might think to yourself, “What? That’s beneath me. I’m not going to do that.” Well, if you say that, you’re in the wrong line of work. It can be tough and trying at times and may push you to your limits, but if you’re passionate and driven, you can make it.
Now, you’re sitting at home, dreaming of your future life as a rock star or Broadway performer, but there’s a problem: you have no experience. So, it’s time to get some. You don’t have the resources to attend a prestigious vocal or music school, and you don’t have any formal training. Don’t worry, though – you still have options, but it will take some work, so don’t get discouraged.
It’s time to roll up your sleeves and enter the workforce, but make sure you find a job that involves singing. Singing jobs like these can range from volunteering to entertain the elderly or sick, to being a singing waiter. You could be a singing telegram (yes, they still exist), sing in dinner shows, record radio jingles, appear in TV commercials (national or local), sing at theme or amusement parks, or secure singing gigs at local bars and clubs Trance Music - Free Flowing Electronica - Have you ever found yourself dancing in a club, utterly absorbed in the melody, feeling as if the trance music is flowing through you and guiding your body's movements? This is an experience I've had numerous times during carefree nights at local techno clubs I've often wondered which type of techno generates this unforgettable sensation… . Research and try to sing at local ceremonies or annual events. There may be graduating filmmakers or animators who need your voice for an upcoming project. Sing in the chorus of a theater production or in the church choir. Don’t forget that you can always start or audition for a band. You might soon land a gig as a backup singer for a touring band. You may sing the national anthem at a sporting event (it doesn’t have to be at Madison Square Garden), or get a spot in some internet promotion. These are some singing jobs that you may not have considered before, but they are still singing jobs. Although some may not be suitable for a rock star persona, they can still add to your singing resume and help develop your skills as a singer. Who knows who may be watching you sing – it could be a record producer out with his family. Meanwhile, scour the classifieds for singing auditions.
