How to become a famous singer?

[Courtnee Lurve]

Here's the details...

I just LOVE to sing (Usually about Love) and Ive always wanted to be famous, to help the world.
I live in the small town of Colchester in Ontario Canada With a family of nine. I've been gifted with beauty and a lovely singing voice. I have a youtube, but I haven't posted any videos yet of me singing. I want to sing liek Taylor Mangan (Look her up)! In this twon, we have a bar, (18+) a corner store, a Ice cream store, beach, and a park. Out town is quiant and seuded, so good luck trying tirying to find me. Anyways, my name is actually spelt Courtney Dunn; not Courtnee. I don't know how play any instrument but I have an acoustic guitar. And also if you can find me some video's on how to play acouic guitar, I'd be really happy. So anyways, what I'm really asking is this: "How the hell do I get noticed in a small town like this?"

I have a twitter: http://www.twitter.com/_CourtneyDee so find me if you wanna se better pics.

All help is really appreiciated.By! <3

Youtube.

Start on youtube, people get pretty big on youtube if they're good enough and then if you go on talent shows and stuff. Can't really think of anything else, get a manager:')?

The tip is to get noticed by someone bigger than yourself.

Some examples include - Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, Susan Boyle, Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Pentatonix, Chris Daughtry, T'Pau, Irene Cara, Kenny Loggins, John Parr, Michael Sembello, Lindsey Pavao, LA Guns, Weird Al, Harold Faltermeyer, The Heights, Glen Hasnard, Marketa Irglova, One Direction, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Elvis Presley, Buggles, Bonnie Tyler, Adam Lambert, Backstreet Boys, and countless others...

Youtube, and post your videos just about anywhere. I see a lot of people writing something on well known vids on youtube about that they love singing and want to get noticed and tell people to thumbs it up more people will see it.
Good Luck!

I HATEEE when people comment and don't know what the heck they're talking about... -__-

Anyways...You should make a YouTube Channel so people will give constructive criticism on your singing.
If you do have the voice, personality, and look--- that's amazing, record labels are looking for that.

To IMPROVE your vocals get LESSONS in-
*vocals
*piano (or guitar)
*music theory

and if you want to be a "triple threat"-
*theatre
*dancing

Get local---
*festivals
*birthday parties
*weddings
*performances
*gigs

Go to coffeeshops/ clubs and tell the owner you will perform for FREE--- if they like you they will eventually PAY you to perform more )).
Basically, get your name out to everyone.
Tell family & friends--- spread the word.

Social networking sites are GREAT--- PROMOTE your MUSIC and YOURSELF!
LEARN the music industry business to see what your getting into!

Prepare copies of your resumé.

Attend a recording session and produce a CD of your vocals and songs. Recording studios will charge you by the hour for studio time. You’ll need to record at least three songs for a good demo CD.

Make copies of an 8 x 10 photo featuring you (and your band, if applicable) singing. Professional photo duplicators such as ABC Pictures can produce great photos.

Audition for singing roles in local theater stage musicals and, if you desire, join your church choir. You can also audition in talent contests. Many clubs hold open microphone nights where amateur singers can compete in talent contests.

Prepare press kits. Kits should contain an 8 x 10 photo, news clippings, resumé, DVD of any of your performances, presentation folder, promotional materials and favorable reviews from print and video media.

Find a talent agent and submit your press kit by mail or via delivery. Although not required, you will be much busier with the assistance of a booking agency.

Locate record companies that you are interested in working with in the future. Call the record labels prior to submitting your demo package to make sure that they are accepting submissions. Most major record companies don’t accept outside submissions. “Songwriter’s Market” contains information about record labels and each company’s submission process as well as names of people with the record label who you should contact.

Submit your CDs and press kits to record producers and/or record labels. You should address your submission to the attention of the A & R Department of the record company.

Perform live as much as possible. Record company A & R representatives frequently go to clubs to scout and recruit new artists.

NEVER give up on your dreams )).
I have faith in you )).

Have a BEAUTIFUL day,

•You also need TALENT--- do you want to stay in the industry longer?
•Image--- do you look like a star? Do you have the style/ look to stand out?
Think about those questions just to help you out more )).

Eric Arceneaux is an EXCELLENT teacher on YouTube and he knows what he's talking about. (not advertising)
Pick up a few books at your local library OR go to a bookstore and get book(s) about SONGWRITING! If you don't want to spend any money, your best bet is to go to your library )). Practice DAILY!!!- on songwriting and your voice/ instruments. Even if it's only 10 minutes a day... You will see improvement and that's what you always want to aim for ))

No offense, but you're not going to stay very humble or real for long if your dream was to be famous. You you're dream should be to pursue music, no matter how famous you get, as long as you love what you're doing. Trust me, fame isn't as good as it seems. If you want to be a performer though, try and get a license to busk in your park or something.
