Being a pop star is more than just smiling at the camera and going on vacation. What it means is that being a pop star takes a lot of energy, sweat, and tears just to get all music listeners moving to the beat and dancing and doing the best you can. It means forgetting what the tabloids and the news say. And work hard to make connections, promote yourself, and always take your music everywhere to become famous and take it to the next level. Think what you got to be a pop star?
Step
Part 1 of 3: Having What It Takes
Step 1. Be a good person
One thing that almost all pop stars have in common is the benevolence or kindness factor, at least when they first started their careers. You can take Justin Bieber, and the early career of N*SYNC member Miley Cyrus, and the title of Brithney's album is “…Baby One More Time”, and almost all of those pop stars have a high level of virtue, and are very energetic which means that they will not do anything beyond their age limit. Not doing anything worse than going out in the curfew. Although it doesn't look good when you see them having a high sex appeal, it's still important to focus on their virtues first.
- Most people want a pop star who can relate to each other, not a pop star who is so stylish, and indeed a lot of bad boys or bad girls behave like that. Remember that you are not that different from them either.
- You need to know that a pop star tends to attract the attention of a teenage or even pre-teen audience. You want their parents to be okay while their kids are at your concert, right?
Step 2. Have sex appeal
To be the perfect pop star, you have to increase your sex appeal with a level of kindness that radiates. You have to be a little bit sexier, or at least have the potential for sexiness if you really want to be famous. It's hard to find a balance between having good qualities but on the other hand you have to have sex appeal, but all you need to do is find a way to show a little of your skin but not bring down your self-esteem. Look at Britney on the cover of her first album, she's dressed like a schoolboy while showing off her belly. Find a way to be a little flirty and funny without looking too mature at the same time.
- Show a little of your skin so the fans can see your sexy side. Some say you don't have to show skin if you're not comfortable with it. You don't have to be overly open to get people to like you.
- Sexual attraction is more than just showing off your belly or smiling at the camera. It has to do with how you behave by showing your confidence and happiness, how you look and what you give. Stand straight, look forward not at the floor, and don't cross your arms in front of your chest or don't feel too perfect about your physique.
- Part of sexual attraction is mastering the art and techniques of flirting. When you talk to people, whether they're reporters or co-stars, you have to be a little suggestive, playful, and playful. Don't let your guard down, but be open to more flirty.
Step 3. Have a strong voice
Of course in history not every pop star has been blessed with an angelic voice. But if you want to make it real, you have to start with a strong vocal cord base, and have a high pitch. You can take vocal lessons and hone your skills, but if you don't put in the effort, it's going to be hard for you to become a star. Of course, some of those pop stars are famous for having no talent, for lip-syncing, or for their computer-generated voices, but of course you want to be better than that, right?. look at Mariah or Whitney – no one ever judged them that they had no voice.
- This requires you to be honest with yourself to get good feedback. Ask your friends or mentors to give you an honest assessment of your talents. Of course if you really believe that you can, then don't let other people make you down and weak. But if everyone is telling you that you're missing out on a strong scale, then maybe it's time to plan something else.
- If you're going through puberty or haven't yet, remember that your voice will change. Boys who have soft, high voices before puberty are better and deeper in their voices. That doesn't mean that your voice will change for the worse, but that you should be prepared for the change.
Step 4. Be a talented dancer
You don't have to emulate Michael Jackson's style to be a successful pop star. However, it is helpful to begin to understand the rhythmic beats that correspond to body movements, and to know how to move around within a note. The most important thing you need is the will to learn and the rest will follow by itself. You'll need to take dance classes to get the basics out of dancing, and be prepared to work with a dance instructor once you've hit fame. Another thing you need to know is that you need to be able to sing and dance at the same time.
The most important thing is belief. If your dance instructor or team sees that you're trying, they'll give you easy moves that you can imitate. However, if you can imitate the move quickly, you should be fine. The most important thing is a willingness to learn and not shy about stepping out of your comfort zone to achieve success
Step 5. Be persistent
Another important part of being a pop star is being persistent. Just like a career in the arts, luck and determination are half the battle. Just because you failed at every attempt, it doesn't mean that you should give up and look for a new career path. On the other hand, there must have been a lot of resistance to being successful, and even the most famous star, like Madonna, started her career very hard to achieve a new breakthrough. If you really want to make this dream come true, then you must be prepared for the rejection that comes.
This means that if you really want to be a pop star, then you have to develop your confidence and be patient. You have to be sure about who you are and what you've got, or you'll let others destroy you before you get your big chance. If you are really sensitive, vulnerable, self-aware and unprepared, then you have to increase your confidence first before you start anything
Step 6. Have high self-confidence
Being a big star means being ready to be criticized in the tabloids for all the news that accuses you of having an affair and so on. You have to be able to deal with disturbing and untrue gossip and consider it part of a game. If you doubt yourself every time someone questions your fashion choices or questions your current relationship, then you can't avoid it. Instead, you must learn to accept praise, learn from constructive criticism, and get rid of the meaningless if you want to be successful. You have to love yourself and think positively that you will be successful.
- It's not a cliché that many pop stars have ruined their careers in the face of their own fame. The endless criticism was too much for them to deal with. This means that you need to have a smart idea of who you are and what makes you unique before you let the tabloids eat you alive.
- Even the most confident pop star now doubts himself. But if you start with a little self-confidence it will be vulnerable for you to stay strong in the face of it. So the most important thing is to build your confidence.
Step 7. Be willing to work hard
Some people think that once you become a pop star all you have to do is smile big, dress beautifully, and go to the nightlife. However, true talent requires hard work, and if you are committed to being a star, then you must be willing to work every day and work harder. You'll be working a lot of recording songs, practicing your dance moves, rocking every concert, promoting yourself, staying up-to-date on social media, and making sure that you're doing the best you can.
- If you want to sleep, lay down, spend most of your time watching television or playing with friends.
- If you want to continue to rise in your career as a star, then you shouldn't be complacent. You have to make sure that your song and moves are perfect. Your fans and audience will not stay as your fans if you always perform the same action every time you perform. They want variety and other interesting changes. And it all takes hard work.
Step 8. Have an attractive look
This doesn't mean that you have to have the perfect body to be a pop star. Look at Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, or Pitbull. They have a different look, very intrigue and everyone can remember them. So don't worry, if you're not handsome or pretty enough, you can find something else to highlight, whether it's ear piercings, a flashy outfit, high heels, or a quirky hairstyle. You have to find something different about yourself.
A pop star has his own characteristics. You can find looks that make you stand out, and are attractive. Lady Gaga for example, she is always easily recognizable even though she constantly changes her hairstyle, style, and general appearance to always remain attractive
Part 2 of 3: Reaching Your Dreams
Step 1. Network, network, and network
If you have a piece of work, then all you need to do is show it off. Being very talented, sweet, and determined is not enough if you want to be famous. If you want to be known worldwide, then you must be prepared to promote yourself with various networks. This may sound low-key to you, but it is the way to achieve all your goals. Take every opportunity for you to meet producers, other artists, dancers, songwriters, or people associated with the industry.
- Accept invitations to parties, put yourself out there, and be firm when introducing yourself to new people without interrupting them.
- Talk to people who might be able to make it easier for you to reach future opportunities and make your name bigger.
- It might be a little unnatural to talk to people who let them know who you are, but there's no need to feel like you're above them. Unfortunately, you'll have to do some extra work if you want to get noticed, not just talent.
- The biggest part of a network is always being active on social media. Having a twitter account by tweeting every day, creating a fan page on Facebook, always exists in every one of your accounts, including the Instagram account. The sad fact of all of this is that if you don't make an online connection or rarely post across all of your accounts, it's easy for people to forget about you.
Step 2. Enter the talent contest
Implementing this is a great way to get attention out there. You should enter such contests in your area, where you can compete with others. This is especially helpful if you live in a small town and want to be famous. However, if you are really committed to it, you should move to a big city like Jakarta or Bandung, and try to enter a bigger contest, like Indonesian Got Talent, The Voice, Indonesian Idol, or whatever else is out there. The more you put yourself out there, the more likely you are to succeed.
Of course that's not possible if you immediately win your first contest on Indonesian Idol and others. It opens a core. The bottom line is that you can get used to the fact that you will be competing with people who are just as talented as you are
Step 3. Record your music
If you want to be a pop star, record your music. Impressing a director at a talent contest isn't enough. If you make your own songs, then you have to write and record them to show the producers what you've got. While making professional recordings is very expensive, you will have to put in the effort and muster the money to do so. Make the recording as good and memorable as possible. You can start by recording an album or single if you're ready with the material and all. This is an important step to becoming famous and successful.
If you're planning to record in a professional music studio, then you really need to practice so you're ready when you walk into the studio and start recording. Don't waste your time, before the tape will become really expensive
Step 4. Send the tape to the producer
Once you have your recorded music, it is very important that you send it to the producer so that it will be easier to become a star. Make sure that you explain well that your music has been packaged professionally.
- Persistent. Just because some producers reject your efforts, doesn't mean that you will stop trying. That means that you should try harder.
- Some say that, if multiple producers give the same feedback, you have to realize that there is a will in him. If you're thinking about changing your voice to make it more attractive, you should take good steps before continuing the effort.
Step 5. Maintain your existence on the internet
If you want to achieve your dreams, then you must always be present and exist in cyberspace. You can do this before you become a big star, to show that you already have many fans and many who are interested in your efforts and hard work. You can create interesting content, post at least once a day, and gather as many followers as possible, hundreds or even thousands. You can post your single on youtube, have a blog as part of your promotion, post pictures of yourself and do whatever it takes to make you famous.
If an agent or producer is interested in you, chances are they will make you famous faster. You have to show that you are a professional and that they are ready to market your album
Step 6. Take care of your studies
Although achieving your dream is very important, it doesn't mean that you have to give up your studies. It's important to dream big, but you also have to be realistic, and if you're not succeeding at certain things it doesn't mean you don't have other plans. This can be by studying at school or homeschooling when you are trying to become a big star, it is very important to keep learning so you are still getting an education while you are working on your career.
- You don't want to find yourself at this age without getting anything that resembles a high school lesson, do you? This is very valuable study time that will be difficult to achieve.
- This does not mean that you accept for failure. This means that you are smart enough for your future.
Part 3 of 3: Living According to the Lifestyle You Get
Step 1. Know who your true friends are
If you're lucky enough to have become a big pop star, you have to make sure who you rely on in your life. You will be surrounded by new friends and acquaintances that you are unlikely to meet in your daily life. Some of them will be completely loyal, care about others, just like you, or even just spend time with you for personal gain. It's very important not to trust other people easily, use your time to get to know your new friends better, and not tell them your secrets, it's a bad idea to make you famous.
- It's not very comfortable to keep your secret when you meet new people, but it's very important to do this to protect yourself.
- The same thing comes from new people who start to be attracted to you. Make sure that you're dating people who really want to get to know you, not those who want to appear in the tabloids with you, or just use you to promote themselves.
Step 2. Be prepared to work long hours
Being a pop star isn't just about going on luxury vacations and posting pictures of yourself in a bikini. But it takes hard work, long hours, and a lot of sweat. If you've already made that a reality, being a pop star is working 24/7 and no vacation is what it seems. Not only do you work with your work, your music, and your dance, but you must work to maintain a positive image of yourself in public and remind you that you care about them.
Even when you go to a club, award show, or party, you still have to think of it as work because it is important to maintain a good image in public. Getting drunk or fighting in public is a bad start to a career, and you have to behave yourself all the time, because there's no vacation to behave yourself
Step 3. Keep changing yourself
While it's important to create an image and remind people how relevant you are, you can't do the same thing day in and day out, especially if you grew up being a pop star. Sure, being an innocent girl or boy is a great way to start, but if you're an adult as an artist and interested in exploring another side of your talent, then it's important to move on to other rules.
- Take a look at Justin Timberlake who started his career as a pop star with his blonde curls, which is now booming in R&B circles. If you are tired of singing the same old song, then you have to find a new way to be yourself.
- Of course you have to stay true to what your fans love about you. making changes such as switching from country to rap can cost you a lot of loyal fans. Find a good way to innovate without losing your original self.
Step 4. Ignore the tabloids
If you really want to be a pop star, then you have to be prepared for all the negativity, gossip and rumours. People will say bad things just to put you down and make you doubt yourself, and you have to learn to avoid what's being said, even if they claim you are pregnant or in rehab which is not the case. Whatever they do, the most important thing is not to let them get you down in achieving your dreams.
Every celebrity who is even loved by them is bound to deal with gossip and rumours. Think that this is a starting process. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to prevent people from spreading rumors about you. But you can control your reaction to all of them
Step 5. Be aware of who you are
The hardest part about being a pop star is being aware of yourself. The most important thing is that you never forget your original dream when you weren't a pop star, and don't be someone different and stranger. In the end, it's all about being comfortable and happy with what you do and doing, and always influencing your fans in a positive way. Make sure that you never forget those closest to you before you became a pop star, and be honest with yourself.
- While making new friends and starting new relationships is important to being a pop star, don't forget your old friends and family members. They are the ones who have made you successful.
- While it's really hard to find alone time when you're a pop star, it's important to check and introspect, write in a journal, and make sure you're achieving your goals. If you continue to be surrounded by fans, remember your beginnings and your efforts to become that.
