Qualities Of A Good Session Singer

By Patty Goff


Many musicians start their solo careers as singers before gaining recognition as musicians. This type of singer is usually hired for a short session and does not have any contract with a music recording company. This is a great start for anyone who aspires to be a great session singer. However, there are certain qualities one should have in order to grow from a musician who sings on session to a professional singer.

Professionalism is one of the qualities necessary for making it in the music industry. This means being on time, promoting your shows in advance, preparing for rehearsals and replying to messages in a timely manner. A budding musicians main aim is to gain respect and one way to do this is by exercising professionalism.

Identify your role model. Having someone you admire is great motivation for a budding vocalist. When you focus on the style and strengths of a particular musician, you are learning. When you are able to follow the footsteps of a seasoned performer, you will be able to come up with your own style which will propel you to fame.

A good musician should be good at doing what the people want them to do. Whether you are hired to perform at a wedding, studio or act as a side man, you need to follow directions. In most cases the instructions are poorly given by those who do not know music. Anyone who is aspiring to make it as a musician should learn how to translate all kinds of instructions quickly without being frustrated. In other cases, a music director will give you instructions. Making a good performance in this scenario will earn you recommendations and develop your music career.

A good singer should be organized. Musicians who are starting up will usually have busy and erratic schedules. If you cannot track everything and appear where you are required on time, you will lose your credibility. You also need to learn a lot of stuff from lyrics by songwriters to cover songs for corporate gigs or weddings. Having to remember all this music gets easier with time but you first need to learn how to be organized.

Most of the popular musicians in the world have one thing in common- a signature. This is a unique quality that makes one singer stand out from the rest. For you to rise from session singing it is important that you develop your own unique style. This could be the way you sing, dance or dress but you need that unique aspect to make the crowds eager to hear more from you.

A good musician should be able to play well with others. Although having a solo career is good, blending with others will make you sound better. It is therefore important to learn how to perform with guitarists, drummers and other performers.

A professional musician is one who is prepared. You should show up for a gig dressed appropriately, carrying the right instruments and fully prepared to sing. Learning to be fully prepared for performances is one essential quality for a singer aspiring to advance their solo career.
