Ab'ers, my daughter is just starting out trying to get recognized as a singer. Have a look at her singing on you tube and see what you think comments welcome! (better sound with headphones)
OK, first things first, she CAN sing! She has the type of voice that is more suited to belters (power ballads etc) than, say, pop music which is no bad thing.
Presumably she's done the usual things like recording a demo, getting an agent etc...?
Good for her, she might get some work on either a cruise ship or in a summer season somewhere. Agents are useful as they presemt all of the options but they do take a fairly considerable cut obviously.
She 's just missed this for example but these types of jobs would be worth trying for if just by way of experience.
