What basic equipment would a singer in a rock band need?

Question

Only for doing live gigs

Answer 1

Guitars,amp,microphone,healthy set of lungs,drums,good stagenames.

Answer 2

Stamina and a good healthy set of lungs/chords

Also, you may want to invest in a decent mic - maybe a ShureSM58 (they are the industry standard and not too pricey)

Most venues have PA's so I wouldn't buy anything really really expensive until you have had some success/made some money

:)

Answer 3

Well a mic, a stand, a sound stereo. You could also try a cordless mic if you want. You don't need much for the singer..

all a drummer needs is drums and the person that really needs the most is the guitarist. So yep.....

Answer 4

Only a mic, mic stand, and maybe a music stand if you're doing wedding gigs. A previous poster suggested the SM-58... you can't go wrong with that mic.

Any PA gear is usually a band expense.  

Answer 5

a PA system with all the adequate cables and mics needed. a basic pa system will include imputs for vocal/mics and instrument imputs and speakers. if you are lucky you will also get a mixer.
