Being a professional singer is much like having a traditional job.  If you're expected to be at work at a specified job, then, that's the time people expect to see your face.  While you're at work, you are expected what your job requires of you.  Then, once the day has ended, there's a time where you're expected to clock out and leave.

Well, as a professional singer taking vocal lessons, recording, having a photo shoot, etc.....It's the same idea.  In the professional singing world, most of this stuff costs money.  So, time is utterly important.  If you pay for two hours of time, that's what you'll get.  The person you're working with has organized their schedule just for you.  If you try and get more time without paying, you are no longer viewed as a professional singer.  

Word of mouth travels fast, and the industry isn't as small as we think it is.  So, you will be known as the professional singer that wants to get more than what they pay for.  Who wants to be known as a professional con artist?  Good luck on that if you want gigs or a career.....

So, if you agree on a start time and end time, do what's expected.  This is your career.  If you don't take it seriously, no one else will.

Typically, you’re at your vocal in your late 20’s or during your 30’s.  Your chance of getting to this point is increased with vocal lessons.  I saw an award show last night where one act should have been a prime example of this, but it was clear that wasn’t the case.  Many of you want to be on stage constantly in front of your fans until you’re old and gray.  That’s definitely possible, but you’ve got to take the proper steps.  Barbara Streisand, Patti Labelle, and others are still doing what they love because they have vocal coaches helping to keep their voice in tip top shape.  At this point, I urge you to make a decision about your vocal career.  Where has it been?  Where is it now?  Where do you want it to go?  If you’re serious about singing, stop making excuses and get vocal lessons.  They’re affordable and necessary.  Remember, this is your life.  You are responsible for your success.  Since this is supposed to be your passion, go all out.  Do everything in your power to be at your vocal best to get the vocal results you desire!

The Essence Music Festival is just days away.  My itinerary is finalized.  I’m packing bags.  Now, I just wait until the day I leave for the festivities.  Can you tell I’m excited?  I can’t wait to share pictures, stories, and video with you.  This is sure to be a great time for us.  So really quickly....I’m in the South with this brutal, summertime heat.  My tip for you is to drink plenty of water.  Please stay hydrated.  If you don’t, you can risk permanently damaging your vocal chords.  So, when you wake up in the morning, drink you some room temperature water.  Throughout the day, especially if you’re going to be in the sun, drink plenty of water and liquid.  Stay healthy & keep that gift in tact!

This camp definitely took me back to my school days in middle and high school.  Students weren’t so happy when the activities weren’t taught by Ms. Dileesa.  As a child, none of us really like change.  We don’t adapt well at all.  Some of the students had crushes on the other students.  I forgot that the news of a crush is equivalent to announcing the next president....LOL.  Some students don’t understand the magnitude of their beautiful voices.  I mean some of the students, their voice blew me away.  Then, there were students that were divas.  Then, there were students who thought their voice was on a level, but in actuality, it wasn’t.  I can’t wait until next year’s camp.  The first year was a success.  I learned so much and got an opportunity to touch lives.

The track is recorded, mixed, and mastered.  You begin to prepare to perform it live.  Many times, it’s second nature to perform the song exactly like the recorded track.  So, I want to challenge you.  Even if it’s only one difference, try to do change up at least one thing.  Do something live that didn’t make the record.  Doing this enough will generate a unique live show for your fans.  They will love you for it.  Fans love when artists pull tricks out of their hat.  Now, as your fan base builds, the fans will know the song, and you can give them a brand new extended live version based on all the new successful tricks your tried beforehand.  So, I hope this little tip helps!  Remember the Young Stars Performing Arts Camp begins this summer.  Sign up at http://www.dileesahunter.com/summer-camp.html
