Help me follow my dream...?!?

I have the same dream as you and I have an idea. My idea is to go to every public event (aka talents shows or little gigs) that is possible for you to perform. Instead Of flying off to L.A., try letting people discover you as a singer. If you try my idea, your ranks as a singer will get higher and someone (even though it is a 50/50 chance) will sign you!! Unless you want to go with your idea....which I am guess is just staying in your bedroom singing to yourself. P.S. If you want to be a singer, you are going to have to Want it more than anything as a Passion
