Hi my name is lataveia and I really want to be a famouse singer I've been singing since I was five years old and I really want my dreams to come true

What is your question?

A lot of people make a living singing. Very few are "famous."

The secret is to take lessons, appear anywhere and everywhere people can hear you. Eventually you get a following. Eventually you get an agent. TV talent shows are always a suggestion.

Are you good? Where do you sing now?

[Fr_Chuck]

Great, but they don't come true by magic, they require work.
So you need to know how to play music, perhaps guitar or piano and you need to learn music theory and be able to read and write music.

After you can do a fair level, you will need to try and find a place that you can do open mic and free singing at least once a week or more.

Then of course you save money, make a CD, post songs you do on YOUTUBE and other web sites.

There are several here that deal with this issue. I know you've seen some. The answers in those threads are all the same.

You need talent, but you also need luck. You need to work hard at your craft. But then you need that bit of luck to get you noticed by the right people.

[JudyKayTee]

And sometimes you have to make your own luck - or at least assist it - by doing everything FrChuck suggested PLUS knowing your "craft" - and that often includes lessons.

As Judy pointed out, there are loads of talented singers out there most of whom never achieve fame, but do make a living out of singing. I just returned from a cruise. There were a troupe of entertainers who did the shows. There were four singers in the troupe (2 male, 2 female). They were all very good. But they are unlikely to achieve fame. Yet they make a good living. There are several venues like that. Theme parks have shows, cruise ships, local theaters, local clubs. These and more are places that singers can work and make a living without achieving fame.

So you practice, take lessons, hone your skills and hope for a break that may never come. In the meantime you work at your craft wherever and whenever you can.

I'll also point out that we had a Karaoke contest the last night, two of the contestants were excellent singers. But neither was able to make a career of singing. I'm not trying to discourage, you should do whatever you can. But you need to be aware that your dreams of fame are a long shot.
