How to Become a Successful Session Singer - Part 2
As a successful session singer, I have sung for many of Chris Huston’s projects, over the years. In case you don’t know who Chris Huston is, Chris Huston has recorded with such artists as James Brow, Patti Labelle, Van Morrison, The Who, Blood Sweat and Tears and many more. Why did Chris keep asking me back? Well, it’s simple. As a successful session singer, I learned to have a “How can I help you today?” attitude, rather than a “How can you help me today?” attitude. So one of the successful session singer tips I have to offer you is to adopt that sort of attitude. It’ll take you far in life. If you are nice to others, nice things are bound to happen to you.
Another of the successful session singer tips you should consider is having the best demo reel that you can. When you record a demo reel, be sure you have individuals listen to it who will give you an honest opinion, before you submit it to potential employers. Don’t ask someone who may have their own motives or someone who doesn’t want to hurt your feelings to listen to your demo, if you want to become a successful session singer. The more opinions you get, the better, too.
If you decided to send a resume to 10 different companies, you are likely to get 10 very different reactions and suggestions for improvement. The same is true of a demo reel. If you can get honest opinions from those around you and are willing to entertain their suggestions, you will go far as a successful session singer. In fact, with that attitude you are likely to go far in life in general.
If you want to be a successful session singer, you should also remember that you should have a bit of variety in your demo reel. It’s an opportunity to showcase all of your talents and abilities. Be careful, though. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you have certain styles that you know you aren’t good at, don’t put them on your demo reel. Being consistent and displaying high quality work is much more important, if you want to be a successful session singer. You want producers to really be impressed and begging for more. Put them on the edge of their seats. That’s your goal.
So, as you aspire to be the best, most successful session singer you can be, remember to make a good impression. Have patience. Make connections. Remember that what you accomplish today may seem small, but it will pave the way for later. So, use these successful session singer’s tips to your advantage and you’ll be doing the jingle singing and session work that you want to do in no time at all.
