    Hi Flaviasophia

    Get your parent's permission and then go to www.youtube.com and post some videos of you singing and then tell friends and family how to find the videos. If you are really good they will tell friends and they'll tell friends, etc.

    If you are from a religious family you may also want to consider joining the children's choir...would get you some great exposure there.

    Most important will be to practice singing as much as you can as often as you can and improve ever day, OK? Finally, if your parent(s) can afford to get you voice lessons that will certainly not hurt you in the long run!

    Good luck!

    THere isn't much of a demand for 10 year old singers... but you have to start sometime and getting experience so when you are older and better you might have a chance.

    But just because you want to or think you have tallent means nothing... there are hundreds of thousands just like you that think they do... but a few are a lot better than the others... and a very few of those get the right sonegs with the right band... in the right place at the right time to be heard by the right people to even get a shot... and many of them blow their chance because of a number of reasons. Maybe one out of a million who want to sing ever make a good living at it much less become famous.

    But you never know unless you try.

    How do you know you have an amazing voice? Who has told you this? So the first you need to do is get an evaluation of your talent by an unbiased person. A teacher in the music dept at school, some other professional, the choral director at your church, etc.

    Next you need to practice. Being a singer simply means that you sing and perform whenever you can. But I think you want to not only sing, but sing professionally and that takes practice and experience.

    Sadly kids that think they have amazing talent, are a dime a dozen. If I had a dime for every kid that posted on this site alone, begging us to tell them how to become the next singing sensation, I'd be rich.

    There are millions of people with amazing singing voices out there. Only a small percentage ever get discovered, and out of those, an even smaller percentage actually make it big.

    Not that I want to discourage you. If you love to sing, and others see your natural talent, take singing lessons, voice lessons, sing in front of people whenever you can, post YouTube video's (with your parents permission) of you singing. But don't make singing your entire life. Stay in school, get good grades, plan on a career that doesn't include singing. It's more than likely that you'll have to find another way to make a living that won't include being a star.

    Good luck, and don't give up. :)

    You start by taking voice and music lessons to make yourself better

    Your parents will need to also, when the teacher things you are ready, have you performing in open mic, coffee houses, and other venues one or two times a week if possible Often this may mean home schooling and not going to regular school any more, so you are free to travel multi state areas to sing

    Your parents will have to be able to afford this, because normally the first few years you will not be paid for singing, so cost of travel and other costs will be your parents to pay
