We may not be able to train you to perfect that high C, but we can introduce you to the people, tools, and techniques that can. Read on in our latest Backstage Guide for all the ins, outs, and in-betweens of navigating the entertainment and performance industry as a singer, training and maintaining your instrument, and making a living doing what you love.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M MEANT TO BE A SINGER? Were you the kind of kid who spent your days singing along to your favorite TV show’s theme song and forcing mom and dad to watch while you put on a song-and-dance number? Do you still feel that passion to perform in the spotlight? Knowing if you’re meant to be a singer certainly hinges on whether you can sing to begin with (not all performers can carry a tune—sad but true!), but if you have a natural talent and are willing to put in the work to move it from passion to profession, those are the two key ingredients to know you’ve got what it takes. Besides, if you’re born to be a singer, you probably love the minutiae of rehearsals and practice making perfect. Just like pursuing a career in acting or any other performing art, there’s no sure-fire, set-in- stone path to success as a singer. But if you’re at the point where there’s nothing else you envision happily doing with your life, that’s the time to follow your instinct and chase The 4 Singing that dream.

WHAT KIND OF TRAINING DO I NEED? With any art, it’s important to properly train and stay limber in the craft. A great way to do this is to consider pursuing a vocal performance or musical theater degree at one of the nation’s top colleges. But whether you attain a degree or not, all singers should MUSTS continue training well into adulthood—even Whether belting on Broadway or pursuing pop stardom, after finding success and building a career. One here’s how to get started as a singer way you can ensure that is by employing the aid of a vocal coach and voice teacher. What’s BY BENJAMIN LINDSAY the difference between the two?

the best of this situation and book with the CD again?—LISA T.

When it rains, it pours! Unfortunately, this happens a lot in an acting career. One day you’re struggling to get work, and the next you have multiple offers. You did the OUR EXPERT right thing by honoring your commitment, but there are exceptions where it might be acceptable to do just the opposite. It’s very subjective and should be considered in a Gwyn Gilliss is a career case-by-case situation. coach for actors and a former actor. Evaluate the situation. If the rehearsal was for a reading or a nonpaying showcase and you could be replaced with little notice or a stand-in and if the other job was only for one day or an hour (a commercial, a voiceover role, etc.), you could possibly arrive a little late for the rehearsal. Just talk to the director.

When I was acting, I got the role of a lifetime on a TV series with a six-figure contract. Two days later, I was offered a co-starring role in a feature film. I didn’t know what to do, so I asked my lawyer and agent what they thought.

They told me to find out if schedules could be arranged so that one role could start a few weeks later. If that wasn’t possible, they told me to go with the first commitment. If I had tried to get out of that contract, I would have been sued and probably not worked for that network ever again.

You were right to let the casting director know why you couldn’t accept the offer. Established actors have conflicts all the time. The CD (or producer or director) will understand. So stay in touch, be thankful for the offer, and let the industry people you turned down know what you’re up to in the future to stay on their radar. There may be another project for you down the road.

Honor your commitments. Don’t burn bridges.
