now if you are any good, if they do not know how you sound? The label needs this recorded version to not only hear what you sound like, but to give them a sense of what they are about to invest large sums of money into. Though a demo tape of a hit single is great, it is not the only thing that is looked for by the recording company. A live performance brings everything that has been submitted, together.Your last step in reaching the goal to being a musician is to make arrangements for a live performance. This can be done in any type of musical establishment like dance clubs, county fairs, or even just any old public gathering. You will most likely have to pay for the time you are putting on your performance (could range from fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars) but it should be worth it if a record company is willing to come out and see your act. When a live performance is given, it shows the record label a taste of what the fans will be spending money to see. Record labels are entitled to watch every aspect of what they are investing in. One of the main reasons they watch a live performance is to see how much courage the band has. Many artists can sing well but it takes a true entertainer to please the crowd and sing with all eyes on them. If an artist gets scared of an audience, the record company is not going to want to take them in because of their stage fright.To conclude, these are my recommendations on the steps to take in getting a record deal. Through these steps you will find that it is a lot harder to get the fame that you feel you deserve. The fact of the matter is, these steps are true and they, in most cases, work out for the better. I followed these steps and did not quite make it as far as I wanted, but got both of my feet in the door and made a memorable performance doing it. ...
