Hi! Welcome to, I’m With the Band: Do’s and Dont’s from a Lead Singer. Please be sure to download the course companion PDF (available in the next lesson).
So you’ve got an amazing voice. It’s a voice that people would pay good money to hear. You’re determined to make a living singing. But, you hardly know anyone in the music business. How are you supposed to get out there and network in the middle of a pandemic? You keep hearing that you need to “pay your dues” before you can make it. How does that work, and to whom exactly do you owe? Compared to other singers, it just seems like you don’t quite have your act together. You’re kind of a hot mess and are worried you might blow it if an opportunity comes. You honestly feel like you have no idea what you’re doing. You’re nervous, awkward, and intimated when you’re around other musicians. You might be realizing that it’s going to take a lot more than just a great voice to succeed at this.
We’re living through an experience like non-other before. Don’t let it stop you. Begin by pandemic-proofing your singing career with self-reliance, resiliency, and a strong spirit. It’ll take hard work and a bit of smart innovation. Set yourself up for success. Wouldn’t it be a shame to finally get a gig only never to get called back and be left wondering why?
It’s true when it comes to working with bands; singers get a bad rap. You hear countless stories from musicians about vocalists with “good chops” who just don’t know how to act in a group. You don’t need to be that singer. Get EQ’d and equipped with the essential skills you’ll need. You can be focused, disciplined, and confident about advancing in your pursuit. Find out what musicians are looking for in a vocalist. Learn the professional and social habits that lead to a long, fruitful, and well-respected singing career.
I’m with the band, and I’m here to help! I’ll show you how to act right and keep the gigs coming.
