What career would you choose in the future? Well, my career choice was to become a famous singer. I would love to perform music, entertain people with my music, help other people and interact with other famous celebrities. Musicians and singers typically do not need formal postsecondary education to enter the occupation. It could take about 2-3 years of music training/schooling to become a professional singer. There is no one path to become a singer.

However, performers of classical music and opera have at least a bachelor’s degree in music theory. Professional musicians or singers must have superior musician abilities which is called “Physical Stamina.” Musicians and singers who perform on stage or go on tour for weeks or months must be able to endure frequent travel and irregular performances schedules.

What skills a singing career requires is the ability to read music can be learned, but a sense of pitch is innate. Even a stellar talent must learn how to use your voice for best effect, how to breathe properly and how to project your voice. In annual salary or hourly rate, singers earn an average hourly wage of $192. But in annual salary, the top earner is up to $400,000 or more. Vocal majors typically practice probably two hours or more every single day. They have to work during the day, night, weekdays, and even weekends.

Singing careers can be found in any city. In fact, many places like San Francisco, Washington, and more can help you become a great singer. Many musicians and singers often perform in settings such as concert halls, churches, and clubs. Singing makes you feel better like it enhances lung function, best stress, improves memories, pain relief and boosts your confidence. What musicians and singers do not do that is not great is unpredictable scheduling, performing in smoky clubs which can harm vocal cords, and exposure to a party atmosphere that may not appeal to all musicians. Being a famous singer can have a lot of work, but people would love you and your music.

Some musicians and singers spend their time in the recording studios because they practice singing and writing songs. Leading musical groups or becoming section leaders in an orchestra. Others may advance to become a musical director and composer. Successful musicians and singers often rely on agents on managers to find their jobs, negotiate contracts, and develop their careers. Many professional vocalists sing almost all day every day. Some of that will be vocal workouts, learning new numbers, perfecting a track, recording an album, or singing while waiting. A minimum daily expectation for a pro singer would be several hours a day with at least a day a week of vocal rest.

In conclusion, that’s why my career choice was to become a famous singer in the future. Singing and writing songs is my life and goal. I would love to entertain people with my music, meet other celebrities and vocalists, help other people, and help my family, too. What about you? What’s your career in the future?
