Heya, I'm Megan Hall, which is about as unimportant as a fly outside. Here's the thing. Here in Michigan, my grandfather is a local legend, and my mother sings professionally. Unfortunately I carry my father's last name, which doesn't do squat for advertising. I pretty much have to start over on that one.
I am a vocalist and I have been since I was old enough to speak, it just sort of runs in the Eimer family. I know I have what it takes to make SOME sort of career of music, even if its not a very profitable one.
The trouble is I don't even know where to start. I am 21 and I know I should be checking out karoke and such. There have been times I have been called "showoff" I mean...wth? Anyway, what else can I do, I'm broke so recording anything is not gonna happen anytime soon, plus I'm not so great at accompanying myself. On another note, open mic coffee shops are being illegallized near me, so it kinda ruled that out.
One of the issues I am running into is that bands are almost never looking for a vocalist and for some reason in my area what goes over the most is metal and I cant do screaming to save my life. Also I can rap...like at all. I have a killer set of pipes, but I just don't know how to get out there. I mean I dont even know how to begin a recording of an example here.
I'm looking for advice from some musicians who are actually gigging, and making money off of their talents. If there is anything in this world I should be doing, its singing.
