The best place to start is to learn to play an instrument such as guitar, base, keyboards or drums & make sure you can sing and hold a note. If you can then put a band together, write some songs and tour the pub & club circuit. When you get some experience you can record some demo's either on a home pc or at a studio depending on how much money you have and then start sending demo's to indipendant labels & radio stations such as XFM.\n\nThere is no "School of Rock" but if you want to learn more about it then talk to some local bands (no matter where you live you'll be able to find some on MySpace) and see about woring for them as a roadie etc... this is very unliekly to lead to a "promotion" into the band unless you have some great hidden talent but it will give you a better idea of the life & culture.

media, get on tv, the big stations. get in with any star you can. ride on their popularity & photo oportunities. develop your own 'star' personality. be outspoken & outrageous. be in all thr right places with all the right crowds. if you play it right, it wont cost anything & youll have world wide coverage.\nother ways are to kill a famous person or destroy a famous place or thing but thatll only get you 20 minutes of semifame, not really the kind of fame thats worth anything.

go to auditions for ANYTHING.  get your name out.  i used to go to tv spots, commercials, dj competitions, anything i could go to.  i've danced all over the world and it was all because i was a go-getter.  my last tour was with the revolution tour with linkin park. once you get that one show, you put it on your resume and you're good to go.  also, network with EVERYONE - dancers, djs, emcees, whoever you can.\n\ngood luck.

well... go for it, dude..  but a small warning.. \ni have friends who are in rock bands like zero & brahma.. they are all passionate about their music and go out of their way to help promote rock music in India. However many of them do have alternate careers. Unfortunately, since rock music in india doesnt "sell" its not something you can solely depend on... but honestly thats just my opinion.. just that i salute these guys who inspite of working elsewhere ..find the time & energy to jam, to practice ..to perform.. hats off to them. :)

My band uses a site called Gigmaster to look for jobs.  It has a bunch of bands and their styles, pictures, etc. and you can find ones in your area that look good and ask them for quotes.

Uaually, you want to look in the Yellow Pages for an agent. Maybe start out with some modeling classes. If you start from there, then you can work your way up with all the famous stars.

don't start trying to be famous now.  finish high school.  take acting classes.  Check out AMDA  (an excelletn drama school in New  and LA)  or New York School of Film and Television (also excellent)  Go to acting school, get an agent, work, work, work!\n\nOne more thing. You are not going to make it unless you're willing to give up everyhting and work your butt off for it.  And you have to make sure you want it more then anyhting in the world.

You're very vague. There are lots of different careers in the music business. Please expand and I'll try to reply as best I can\n\nEDIT : Singer. Are you singing now? Do you go out to clubs/pubs and sing? If not, why not? I hear so many people saying they want to be a singer, but aren't actually doing it. So the first bit of advice would be, start singing in front of an audience, ANY audience, it doesn't matter. This way you will get better at singing, at banter with the crowds, etc etc. Even karaoke is better than nothing.\n\nThe next thing would be to try and record a demo, if you write songs, so much the better, if you don't, you need to find someone who can write for you. NB There is no point going in to a studio to record standards like "Summertime...and the weather is easy..." It will go straight in the bin. \n\nSo you need to find a good song you can sing, and then get it recorded to a professional standard. You may have to do this process many times before you are happy with the track(s) you want people to hear.\n\nThe next stage is the REALLY tricky bit : you have to find someone who believes in you enough to want to spend HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS to promote you. Tall order? You bet! Try finding a manager, they will be experienced in talking to people who actually work in the industry.\n\nAnd the final thing - BE PERSISTENT. If at first you don't succeed, and all that.\n\nAs a final note, if you are not very attractive, or over 25, the odds are REALLY stacked against you!!!\n\nGood luck.\n\nPS You could always just apply for The X Factor, of course. Though the odds on getting anywhere on that show are slimmer than John Prescott winning the 100m race in the Olympics.\n\nPPS Catweazel's right, it really IS full of ar*eholes.

The best way to become famous is to beat a celebrity : )\n\nLol\n\nIf your are in a band i would play a gigs where bands can play often because are scouts for new talent and if you or your band stand out you could be offered a contract.\n\nor go to a number of recording studios and persuade them to listen to you this may work it has done in the past.\n\nor you could give something like Factor a try.\n\nHope this helps!

Make sure you have a good product first.  You bf should generally be singing on key and stuff.  Also avoid gimmicks.  Keep it short and sweet.  Thier CD should generally open with their best stuff, and no songs with long slow building intros or anything, get straight to the point. \n\nThere are many lists online of record companies with adresses. Mail stuff if you have too. It may be better to deliver something in person, however.  Bring lots of CDs to shows and network. You're probably going to give away lots of free CD's before anything happens. This is normal. Don't be pushy, just friendly and likable. First impressions are essential.  \n\nIt may also help to put your self in the shoes of whoever you're submitting to.  What would you look for?  If you had to choose who to back up, out of dozens of bands trying to get your attention, what would you need?  Record execs often end up being very much like you and me. They can be very mellow, but they don't like to be jerked around.  Stay cool, show genuine determination, and be easy to work with. \n\nGood luck.

Here is an idea that you can try:\n\nActually you could be your own Music Store/Album Label.\n\nGet yourself a website (I do design them by the way) and then host music from your local bands in the area.  Let the PEOPLE decide who is good, not some hollywood executive.\n\nThen let it grow!\n\nHolla!

yeah... go to LA... start performing... if you're any good, they'll let you play bigger an bigger venues- most famous musicians were scouted that way by other musicians/proucers/executives.  Musical talant has almost nothing to do with getting a record deal tho- it's all about style... they've gotta be able to sell you! You need the right energy/attitude/taste for your genre... the most talented musicians I ever met would never even dream of seeking a record deal for that reason

No, you should not try to live your dream.  You should just go ahead and LIVE YOUR DREAM!!!  For years I shyed away from my career in music because people told me, "You can't make any money in music."  Well, I got a job that I hated that provided a decent income, and I was entirely miserable.  It got to the point where I would rather have died than continue on at a place that was destroying the environment and my ear-drums.  Now God has provided a way for me to not only enjoy my work in music, but also to be able to help others and bring them pleasure at the same time.  LIVE YOUR DREAM!  TAKE YOUR FREEDOM!  Don't let them take your freedom away from you!\n\n"Find a job you love to do, and you'll never have to work a day in your life."  (A wise man said that.  Let's see if anyone knows who.)
