That’s now gon cut it. You gotta make you own stuff. When you get exposed for bitin lines, you’re gonna feel stupid. If wanna be a singer, start writing and singing. Maybe you need to go down another career path.

I really can’t sing nor give you any tips so this will help…

Steps

Learn how to sing. This is the foundation of your career as a singer. While there are some performers making a career out of singing when they don’t really sing all that well, it’s those people who hone their craft as singers and continually improve their form and ability who command the most respect as singers.

Study singers whom you admire. How do they sing? How did they become professional singers? What kind of crowd do they cater to? What is their signature style?

Become comfortable as a performer. Get over your stage fright (if you have it) and start gaining some practical experience by singing wherever and whenever you get a chance to do so in front of a group of people (karaoke bars, parties, school talent shows, etc.). Connect with your listeners.

Develop your own style. Experiment with different ways of singing and different types of music and find one that fits your personality and makes the most of your voice at the same time. You want people to be able to recognize your voice when they hear it.

Get a Singing Job. No matter how well you can sing, you’ll never be a successful singer if you don’t convince people to pay you to do it. That could mean joining a band, singing at your local cafe, performing on Broadway, or even recording a jingle for a commercial–your goal is to make a living as a singer. Get to it!

Tips

When picking out karaoke music, know that you need to catch the audience in the first 30 seconds.

Don’t pick a song that isn’t your best in those crucial moments.

Remember to always be yourself — it’ll help to create an honest performance when it’s time to show off your voice.

Find the joy in singing. There’s nothing like watching someone in their “element.” If you love singing, then it’ll show no matter how well you sing.

Believe and trust in yourself and don’t assume that you know it all. It takes time to develop your sound AND your voice. It takes longer to convince people how great you are.

Practice your songs at home, in the shower, in your car, anywhere and anytime! You’ll never get better if you don’t practice. Remember,Practice makes Perfect.

Relax and just be yourself. If you can’t sing and there is absolutely no help for you at all, your audience will let you know in a kind but firm way.

Warnings

Investing in lessons and books on vocal technique can really help save your voice. You may be able to sing as high as Mariah Carey but if you do it incorrectly, you may damage your voice.
