Record labels are only interested in signing people they're 100% sure can make them money, so you'll have to prove your music can sell before anyone will give you the time of day. And unless you have musical friends who will be willing to translate the ideas in your head into actual music, you're not going to get far. I hate to sound harsh, but having tunes in your head is far different from songwriting.

Have you considered learning to play an instrument so you could perform your own songs? Good songs will hold their own even with simplified instrumentation and unless you're able to approach musicians as a peer, you'll have a hard time finding any who will work with you to create larger arrangements. Musicians spend years learning and mastering their instruments and a huge percentage of them write music and sing, as well. Most signed artists spent years writing songs, rehearsing and performing in order to build fan bases big enough to generate record label interest. And a fraction of a percentage of these people will ever make their livings doing music because there are sooooooo many talented musicians trying to achieve the same thing. You'll need to offer more than melodies that only exist in your head to be taken seriously by anyone, and especially record label executives and producers.

Invest in an instrument -- preferably one you could use to accompany yourself while performing your songs. If your songs are good, they'll work in a stripped down format. And if you become an actual songwriter (which you can't do without also becoming a musician), you'll be able to recruit others to your cause and broaden the instrumentation.

Julliard..?

My life is preforming I've been singing and acting since I was able to talk.. When my uncle died I made an oath to him to never give up on my goal and to keep my dream alive for him.. I've wanted to go to julliard since FOREVER haha but I'm so scared how is the audition process ? How are studies ? How's housing ? Is it easy to survive over there ? How are the on campus dorms ? This is really the only thing I want to do but I'm just so scared someone please help..

. You might be able to get better with singing lessons, but probably won't ever get as good. It's all luck, she was born with a good singing voice

Kpop training often comes with having to pay for your training funds but I heard there are companies that pay for your training. If so what companies do this? Thanks

Update : Also do you know if kpop companies teach you Korean in training? I am Korean but I grew up in U.S. so I can't really speak Korean

Short-scale or long-scale bass for guitarists?

I've been playing guitar for a while now and I've always wanted to try bass. Luckily, with Christmas coming up, I'll finally be able to get one. My main questions are is it easier for electric guitar players to switch to a short-scale bass or a "long-scale" bass? Or is it, in general, just a good idea to start out with long scale or short scale? Sorry if my question sounds a bit dumb
