Gospel music star Erica Campbell gives advice on how to become a great singer

At Masters of the Game, we love giving our viewers advice. We love talking about how to become a champion. In my interview with Erika Campbell, master gospel singer, she gave us advice on how to become a great singer. Campbell went to school to study singing, so she understands all of the technical features of singing, but when asked for advice, she didn’t mention anything technical. She talked about self-esteem and self-confidence.

She remembers being on the concert and waiting for it to proceed, and several other gospel music legends similar to Fred Hammond and Yolanda Adams appeared before her. She was a little apprehensive because being on stage chasing these giants could be intimidating. Then she remembered who she was and regained her self-confidence.

“I remember hearing in my soul, ‘I gave you everything you need to be everything you need,’” she said. Her inner voice told her that enough was enough. “So I thought: I don’t have to be them. I’m actually on the same show here. I was also invited to sing my song.”

This kind of confidence and self-esteem is vital to address the rollercoaster that life as a skilled singer brings. We all see the glory that comes with being a great singer, but we now have a harder time seeing the inevitable valleys.

“You have to be sure what you want,” Campbell said. “If you wish to sing because you wish people to such as you, select one other profession. Sell ​​ice cream. Because they will not at all times just like the song, you, or your performance.

Professional singing is a life filled with privileges and suffering. There is each acceptance and rejection. You have to give you the chance to cope with each.

Campbell said: “My advice to a singer is: make sure of what you wish to do. There are each hills and valleys involved on this profession. Don’t underestimate the valley, but don’t bet an excessive amount of on the mountain, or you will not stay there without end.
