3 Image Tips to Remember in the Music Business~ Thursday, Sep 23 2010

When we think of our careers and where we want to go we rarely think of image as one of the keys to getting us there. However image can make or break a deal in the music or entertainment industry. In a perfect world it shouldn’t matter what you look like, or what you have but in reality it is all about having not only the talent but the right look at that time. Below are 3 image tips you should remember before stepping out into the entertainment industry.

Do your research: Yes, research on image, and style. Looking at the top leaders in your talent or industry will tell you what the audiences are responding to now. Additionally looking into the different career levels and their images will help you determine what helps with longevity after all that is the ultimate goal.

If you are planning to be singer and singing is your talent, no matter if you are male or female look at the artists that have reached platinum or higher and been in the field for 10-20 years. What makes them stand out from the crowd.

Analyze your current look: Take the time out to review your overall image. Determine what message you want to portray to your audience, and what feels comfortable. The truth is image is often the most difficult part of getting a new artist started. Why? Because you need to play to the audiences but you need to still be yourself while doing it!

Gather the opinions of outsiders: Taking the time to ask others what they think of your image and what they would change doesn’t make you look “bad, or inexperienced” and it will give you a unbiased opinion. The truth is we all think we look good in what we pick out but this isn’t all about you, it has to be about your fans as well.

Remember that though it is your image and expression it is also about how you want your audiences to perceive you and what they want in an artist. The entertainment industry has its corks but if you are truly serious about wanting it, you will take the extra steps needed to get there and listen to your constructive feedback with open ears and eyes!

Carrie Prejean stripped of Crown~ Thursday, Jun 11 2009

Los Angeles California- Carrie Prejean was stripped of her crown on Wednesday of this week. It was reported on AccessHollywood.com Carrie was fired from her role of Miss California. The Miss California Organization removed the controversial beauty queen from her post due to what they claimed were “contract violations including Ms. Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization,” the group’s Executive Director, Keith Lewis, said in a statement.

Tami Farrell, Carrie’s runner-up and the former Miss Teen USA, has stepped into the role of Miss California and will be taking on her duties. Tami was previously Miss Malibu.

Carrie says that she felt the firing was due to her answer on the question of gay marriage.

Carrie said she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman, in response to a question about gay marriage from Perez Hilton. The blogger later claimed her comments cost her the national crown.

Then this Wednesday Carrie’s Crown was stripped from her

Less than a month later, semi-nude photos of Carrie surfaced online. While pageant rules prohibit nude photos of contestants, Miss Universe Organization owner Donald Trump allowed Carrie to keep her crown.

In 1984 the singer and actress Vanessa Williams was stripped from her crown after racy pictures were found. Do you think this helped Vanessa’s career? She has been one of the most sucessful beauty pagent winners in history.

Good Luck Carrie you may be on the road to sucess!
