A Few Tips On Becoming A Better Artiste & Also Get Noticed

1. PERFECT YOUR CRAFT:

Work on improving your voice, singing style and music as much as
possible. Professional
musicians are constantly practicing and often work with
vocal coaches and producers to help themselves sound as good as
possible. Practice will go a long way towards improving
your chances of getting noticed.

2. CREATE A DEMO:

Work with a good producer to create a few demo tracks. These are songs
that will demonstrate your
range and talent as an artiste best. A good producer is necessary
because he/she will be able to help produce music that best fits with
your voice and also edit your voice digitally to sound its best. Good
producers may also have industry contacts.

3. CREATE AN IMAGE:

An image is the brand which the artiste and his handlers create to
help promote their artiste. Your image could be anything; it could be
old-fashioned, country girl or street-
corner rapper from
the ghetto. Remember that your image must
be consistent.

4. CREATE A WEBSITE:

With more information about the artiste and links to the demo. Create
social media accounts to get the word out; a Facebook,
MySpace, YouTube
and Twitter account will all help develop a
following for the artiste. Provide links
to the demo and website on the social networks.

5. BOOK LIVE SHOWS:

Exposure can be gained from booking live shows. Contact venues with
your demo and ask to play a live show.
Enter local and national talent and music
competitions;
many artists have
gotten their start
from such competitions. Remember Beyonce
and Britney Spears
appeared on the
show Star Search.

6. Submit the demo
to record companies,
booking agents and music managers. To find the names of
these people and companies, look at the credits on the albums of
artistes in your musical genre. The people who worked to bring the
artiste to the
top will be listed there.
