expose yourself to different stages. look at the community theater and once you build a big enough line of performances, go to a bigger stage. and while doing all this, find a talent agency and take classes on acting and other stuff. raw talent is a good start but wont get you anywhere without some coaching. just like playing a sport, you need critiquing no matter what. and always go to big auditions like any of TV shows or look at the town news for possibly Broadway or off Broadway productions. and the reason i say expose yourself to all these places is because it takes the right person to get a "big break" . the more things you do the better chance you will meet that person when you least expect it. hope this has helped you and good luck!

Simple answer: sing anywhere you can.

Bar Mitvahs, lounges, conferences, open mic nights and wherever else people will let you sing. Then work your way up from there. If you're really good, you work hard and have a little luck, success will come.

One thing you can do is make sure your marketing materials are good. In "sources" I've posted to one example of a good photographer for examples good marketing photos.

Remember, how you present yourself is how you'll be seen.
