I am sixteen years and I am a very good songwriter as well as a singer. I have about sixty songs and I want to be a singer not in the future but right now as a matter of fact. I have tried recording my songs into the computer onto a CD but nothing has worked well for me. I need advice on how best I can record my demo, and maybe a good recording software that can be downloaded for free, as I am sixteen and do not really get along with my parents, and so I can not pay anything. I am desperate. Someone help me please

Hi, mischironaldo!

What do you want to be as a singer right now, please? It can take many years for a person to develop their voice to its fullest potential.

Thanks!

I don't understand your question sorry. I just want to be a professional singer because I have no doubt that if a recording company hears all my songs there would be no reason for them not to look for me. Thanks for answering and I look forward to hearing any more suggestions

My recommendation is that you record your song on your PC using a free program like Audacity (google it) or Microsoft's Songsmith (try the free evaluation copy). Then let someone else cut a demo track for you, like a local band or a service like Bullet in the Head Productions - Make yourself heard! (http://www.bithprod.com/english.htm)

It will cost you a few bucks - probably $30 for an acoustic recording or $100-120 for a full track with drums, bass, guitars and vocals (or without if you want to sing it yourself, and that may be cheaper).
