Any Advice???

Question

I am a 15 year old girl who lives in a small town with no singing experience other than concert choir. this last spring, I auditioned for Odyssey/Chantee but didn't make it. It kind of made me sad because I've always loved singing and quite a few people have told me that I'm pretty good. I don't understand why i didn't make odyssey or chantee and me, my parents, and a few of my friends were really shocked.

I've always liked singing, and several times I've thought about whether or not I want to try to get a career in singing. Ever since I didn't make Odyssey or Chantee, it has always made me want to prove to the judges that I CAN sing. but I don't have any other experience, and I live in a small town and I don't know where to start if this is really what I want.

Any advice?

Answer 1

Hi Be-Ur

Did you ever consider putting a small ad on your school bulleting board and join a band ? That would be your best outlet just like Avril lavigne did in my city (lives nearby).

At least, you would get satisfaction and you never know what other doors in will open. Like playing school dances, practice compositions etc....

Don't let those judges get under your skin. A good 90% of the ones that are successuful have never taken a singing course, nor listened to judges etc..

Look at American Idol. Look at those who didn;t get pick and succeeded. Don't give up. Believe in yourself and go for it.

Answer 3

Decide why you want to sing.

Do you love singing or do you love to be told your good?

Don't take that wrong, we all like approval.

I bet there are lots of opportunities in your area to sing.  Community, school, church etc.

A career in music is rarely glamorous.  I wouldn't want to do anything else.  I love it, but it hasn't done much more than put food on the table.

Where do others in your area perform?
