Singing career is not the easiest thing in the real world. There is plenty of competition and there are limited job openings. However, singing jobs might not be as scarce as you are thinking after reading these lines, you can still get a great break into the singing industry. I want to raise awareness of all the singing jobs seekers to help those who has less financially fortunate than others.
To start, you have to decide where you want to work in the singing industry. The way I see it, there are two paths to take in your singing career. You can perform or you can produce, the artistic end or the technical end. I know, these lines often blur, but you know what I’m getting at in terms of choices you have to make
Time to suck it up and get out into the workforce, but make sure you can get a job that incorporates singing. Singing jobs like this include anything from volunteer singing to entertain the elderly or sick, to being a singing waiter. You could be a singing telegram, sing in dinner shows, sing radio jingles, be in TV commercials (national or local), sing at theme or amusement parks, or get singing gigs at local bars and clubs. Research and try to sing at local ceremonies or annual events. There are graduating film directors or animators that might need your voice for an upcoming project. Sing in the chorus of a theater production or in the church choir. Don’t forget, you can always start or audition for a band. You could soon land a gig as a back-up singer for a touring band. You could sing the anthem at a sporting event (doesn’t have to be at Madison Square Garden), or even get a spot on some Internet promotion. These are some singing jobs that you might not have thought about before, but they are still singing jobs. Although some are not ideal for a rock star persona, they will add to your singing resume and help develop your skills as a singer. Who knows who might be watching you sing, it might be a record producer out with his family. In the meantime, scour the classifieds for singing auditions.
