Why Aren’t You Singing?
"Singers sing!" It's been my mantra for as long as I can remember. And I have to admit to having been confused by singers I've met in the past who aren't, well, singing. "Isn't that what singers do?" I thought. Maybe I get it now. After just recently getting back on my feet after a year long medical recovery, I've been anxiously awaiting the day I would get back out there and start singing again. But it's different this time. I'm pretty sure it's directly related to one of the very few things I remember from my science class; a body in motion tends to stay in motion and a body NOT in motion tends to think of excuses to stop them from ever getting started. Ok, I don't remember it EXACTLY, but the premise is the same! It IS harder to get out there and get singing if you're not doing anything. It's especially challenging if you have moved to a new place or don't know anyone involved in the local music scene. But here's the BEST news: once you get started, you'll find more opportunities to sing and the momentum will start ...
Church Singin’- Not for Wimps or Divas
Open up auditions for any choir or worship team and you’ll run into them; singers who just aren’t sure they’re good enough to sing from the stage and those who are convinced that they are God’s embodied gift to music in the church. The problem is that both of them think they’re there for the singing. Yes, I’m aware that singing is a what you do at one of those auditions, and I know there are plenty of both of these types of singers in the choir and on the worship team and maybe even a music leader leading you to believe that singing in the church is all about your talent, or the measure thereof. But it’s not. There is only ONE venue in which your ability as a singer takes the second chair; and that is the church. And because most singers don’t know this exception to the rule, they never find the satisfaction they’re looking for when they sing in the church. The insecure singer is only made more insecure by watching what they believe to be better singers snatching up all the solos and even the diva can never quite get enough stage time ...
Why X-Factor Will Be Better for Singers Than American Idol
Get your Simon fix while you can. Season 9 of American will be one of your last chances to see the brutally honest Britt as a judge on American Idol. That's because Brittan's own X-Factor is coming to the states in fall of 2011. Sure it's a bit to wait, but the it will be worth it when you consider the differences between the two reality show styled talent contests. AMERICAN IDOL X-FACTOR Age Limit: Type: Performance: Training/Support: 16-28 Solo acts only Acapella, then live band Song and wardrobe selection, performance direction once in top group None Solos, duos, groups, you name it. Soundtrack All of those, plus personal mentoring from the judges themselves Rumor has it Paula Abdul might be back for this one, but either way the show format that has launched European stars like Leona Lewis is sure to make a dent in the Idol audience and the talent pool. So if you thought you couldn't get a shot at your dream because of your age or because you're not a solo act, now's the time to ramp up your training and get out there and perform as much as humanly possible. This is your last chance workout! Oh wait, that's another reality show.
