Just imagine you are on stage at a local sweaty nightclub, the lights sizzling hot and the sweat pouring out of your body as you strike the first few chords of your opening rock anthem.

One actor speaks:
 
“I’m a wreck at auditions. I always have been. But over the years, I’ve learned certain precautions. One time, I went out partying the night before a really important audition. Can I tell you how stupid that was? I actually thought I might get sick on the director!

Whether you want admit it or not, part of joining a band is the eternal ego stroke. As you become a more skilled artist, the need for “Look at me! Look at me!” gives way for something deeper and longer lasting. But there is always a narcissist lurking somewhere in the shadows!

Divas and Divos
 Who doesn’t love them… or at least love to hate them? They’re so over-the-top, larger than life and melodramatic. We love them from afar but what must it be like working for Pavarotti, Cher, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, or Elton John?
 
And if you’re a burgeoning artist, do you possess any of those oh-so-regal [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=coachpamela.wordpress.com&blog=3986251&post=300&subd=coachpamela&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

How you band conducts itself is a major indicator of your seriousness and professionalism. The more you come across as a unified, polite and professional band, the more likely you are to meet people who genuinely want to work with you or further your career.

One way to find a sponsor that appropriately fits your image is to seek them out. We’ve discussed previously how your band is a business so the quicker you swallow that pill, the better off you will be. And sponsorship is a business move, that’s for sure. 
 
What exactly is sponsorship?
 
Sponsorship is when a company [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=coachpamela.wordpress.com&blog=3986251&post=304&subd=coachpamela&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

It’s a hard time to be in a relationship in the first place: shorter attention spans, “me first” attitudes and people spending more time on computers than with loved ones. Maintaining a relationship while pursuing a musical career seems even a bigger challenge. But of course, it can be done.
