Guide On Become A Professional Entertainer - Tips to Begin a Vocation in Wedding Entertainment

If you are a proficient vocalist and fancy moving into the vocation of live singer for your full time career there is a list of things you should carry out first. This is a full guide to becoming a paid entertainer for hire.

The purpose of this discussion is to inform solo singers who intend to sing live vocals over a pre-recorded backing track. A performer of this type would tend to be suited to wedding receptions, pubs and working men clubs, birthday functions, christenings to mention a few.

To go back to the beginning you need to have established you can actually sing and others tend be entertained by you when you do so. The intention for this is at a show you will be the focal point of the room and for many of the audience your happy face is a refreshing break from the ups and downs of a laboring week and they are here to enjoy a drink or two whilst you entertain them. Confirmation of this may come to pass from when you get up do a song at the karaoke at your nearby pub and the audience blow up like you've just won the X-Factor.

The first off you need to do is work out a range of around 25 songs which suit your voice and are widespread enough to wow a crowd. You should then acquire the backing tracks. There are many established retailers online which specialise in professional backing tracks. Now you have the songs and the belief in yourself, you now to practice. Now I mean weeks of practice, even months. You should stay in your current job whilst you prepare as this is not an overnight procedure. You must master the songs but also work out your patter between the songs as it is the personal communication between the tracks that will really bond you to the audience and turn you into an singer.

So you now have a show that would make Simon himself happy, you now need to make a little financial investment in yourself. This will eventually pay for itself through paid gigs but in order to be taken seriously you must come by a- PA System and Speakers, A great wireless microphone, a minidisc player or MP3 player, a decent lighting rig, an outfit worthy of an on stage show.

This will be full set up for live performances and when you have along with your own transportation you are an one person show ready to perform anytime, anywhere. You can now use this for rehearsal unpaid gigs such as a birthday event for a supporter where you set up at their place and perform for experience.

Sooner or later you'll want to entertain for money at professional gigs. You'll need to join a music organization who will add you to their roster and match you with clients looking for an act. To join an agency you need a promotional pack. Again this may involve a little investment financially in you but it is well worth it. You need a demo of yourself singing to the accompaniment music. Please don't use a home laptop with the built in microphone, if you've come to this point, rent a session in a recording studio in order to make the best sound possible. This will set you apart from the others as there are more people out there applying for the same performances as you want. So with your first-class song made now you need a picture of you. If you rent a photographer for this also they may be able to give guidance on the best outfit to wear and certain pose to strike etc.

Next you must grab a pen and write a biography for yourself. This should be written in the third person. That means you write as if you're writing about someone else so you could put things like, Elvis Smith is the best entertainer in his field today. This is your chance to capture the imagination of the person reading so make it catchy and use the right spelling and grammar.

Attached to the bottom of this should be a set list of your repertoire so the agency can match you up to the correct venues so everyone has a great time.

See here (Join A Music Agency) for a working registration page and send your information via this and other agency sites in order to grow your list of agents. It takes a while to gain full momentum in the singing business so I would propose keeping your day job but providing you have the right mentality you can certainly forge a career in live entertainment with work and perseverance.
