What is the secret to being a standout artist now and in the foreseeable future?
Everybody knows that writing and recording a good original song is an important key to one's success in the music industry. Not everybody knows or realizes, though, that you need to be able to sing that song in the exact fashion as it has been written; preferably in tune and with proper phrasing, inflection, emphasis, pronunciation and clarity. You also have to be able to use your voice correctly in order to survive more than one song performance and prevent long term damage. If you are capable of all of that, your listeners will respect you because the magic of your music consistently translates in live performances and isn't just artificially created in the studio. Also, the record labels will be more interested in you because you can bring your "A" game any place, any time. Furthermore, already respected and well-known artists will be more interested in featuring you on their records, which brings you exposure to their fanbases.
Consumers these days are very smart. They are not running out to the record stores in a hurry to buy a new artist’s CD. Depending on the genre, there is increasing interest in real talent and they want access to a given artist's music on YouTube where they can to be assured a performer is authentic and not fabricated in the studio. That connection is what will lead them to buy a ticket to see an artist live... and if they like the concert, maybe buy the CD.
