Is A Reality Singing Show Right For You?

Is A Reality Singing Show, like The Voice, America’s Got Talent or American Idol Right For You?

How do you know if a reality singing show is right for you? There’s no doubt that getting your music, voice, and message in front of millions of eyes and ears could make a huge impact in your music career, but to many, the process seems overwhelming and daunting.

If you’ve been on the fence as to whether you should entertain auditioning for a show like American Idol or The Voice, what’s giving you pause?

You might be thinking…

I’m afraid of contracts.

I hear those shows manipulate and abuse artists.

Am I even good enough to get past the first round?

There’s also the fear or belief that reality singing shows are fake, scripted, and just plain exploitative.

It’s my personal belief that reality singing shows are not for everyone; however, they are an excellent marketing opportunity for your music career when leveraged and maximized properly.

Before I dive into 3 Ways You Can Know If a Reality Singing Show is For You, let's address what a Reality Singing Show IS and IS NOT:

It’s IS NOT :

❌ Your overnight path to career success.

❌ Your get-rich-quick plan. 

❌ Your one & only music opportunity. (trust me, the world is your oyster!)

It IS:

✅ An huge opportunity to expand your music impact. 

✅ An extension of your music marketing efforts as an independent performing artist. 

✅ A great place to network and create lifetime music industry connections. 

Here are 3 Ways You Can Know If A Reality Singing Show Is For You:

#1: You Were Born To Sing & Are Ready For A Bigger Opportunity

We all have a Butterfly in us, Primed To Make a Huge Transformation… but sometimes, we just need a little guidance to light the path!

You're in position to experience growth, and you've got what so many people need if they're going to make it in the music industry:

DESIRE, DEDICATION & DETERMINATION.

But it’s possible you are just scratching the surface when it comes to mastering your craft and if you want to create long-term, sustainable success for yourself in the Music Industry, you need to have some key pieces in place BEFORE you go on a reality singing show!

Start by identifying the opportunities at your fingertips.

Sometimes it's hard to know where to start, but a simple way to begin is by doing a little research. Not all reality singing shows are going to be the perfect fit for you, so it's important to identify which shows you qualify for.

Another important tip is to get the support you need to succeed!

You do NOT have to go this road alone and the truth is... you'll achieve your goals a heck of a lot faster when you have a coach to clear the path for you. Even Coaches have Coaches!


TAKE THIS QUIZ TO SEE IF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN A REALITY SINGING SHOW!

This Quiz is For You If…

✔ You Love To Sing and Dream of a Career in Music, but don’t know where to start.

✔ You’re Committed To Creating a Career as an Indie Musician, and are ready to find creative ways to expand your music impact.

✔ You’re a Singer at your core, but life got in the way and you’re ready to reconnect to your music dream!

 

#2: You’re Ready To Face Your Fear

You have experience under your belt, but somewhere along the line, you allowed self-doubt to creep in and cripple your confidence.

Yet, with this, you still have the wherewithal to listen to that little whisper inside telling you, “but wait, you are capable! You can do thisIF YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.”

We all have limiting beliefs that keep us from pursuing our passions, but YOU ARE READY to face them head-on, so you can move forward with confidence and claim your music dream!

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that hold us back the most. This isn’t to suggest that beliefs are something to ignore – they’re a powerful, life-shifting force… But they’re also easily overlooked.

Why? Well, for starters, they are often deeply ingrained as a fundamental truth in your life.

It’s hard to see a path forward without knowing where you stand, so taking personal inventory might help you evaluate where you're at, and most importantly WHY you want the things you want. (AKA, this dream to pursue music.)

So try turning inwards and taking stock of your current circumstances. What’s lifting you up and what’s weighing you down? What do you believe about yourself when it comes to singing or when it comes to your chances of getting on a show?

What's holding you back from taking those necessary steps towards the future of your dreams?

BEING A CREATIVE IS NO CAKE WALK. YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR IT AND FIND A WAY! BUT NO MATTER HOW MANY TWISTS AND TURNS, EPIC FAILURES AND MOUNTAIN TOP HIGHS YOU EXPERIENCE, YOU ARE BEING SHAPED INTO THE ARTIST YOU ARE MEANT TO BE! KEEP PRESSING, GET THE SUPPORT YOU NEED AND ALWAYS CELEBRATE YOUR WINS, (THE MINI AND THE HUGE ONES!)
— Brianna Ruelas

Tip #3: It’s Time To Show The World What You’ve Got!

It’s common to place too much importance on what others think. You may even put your needs and desires on the back burner, while you serve everyone else around you.

But let me tell you something my friend: your voice, your gift, and your talent are meant to be shared!

When you get cast on a reality singing show, you get the opportunity to leverage the platform as you…

  • Share your message with millions which leads to growing a raving fan base primed to become music supporters. (AKA, they support you financially either through purchasing your music, experiences, live show tickets and/or merch)

  • Develop real lasting relationships with other artists and music industry creatives that consistently lead to music career opportunities.

  • Put the foundations in place to build a music career that is sustainable.

And you don't need to WIN the show to make all of the above real.

What you DO NEED, is self-belief, confidence, and a clear path to getting making this REAL. It's time to gain clarity through action and give yourself PERMISSION to pursue your passions!
