You’ve probably done this before.
While surfing on Youtube, you come across random videos of aspiring musicians. And you click on the play button, thinking it’ll provide you with comic relief like the audition rounds of American Idol. But just that one or two odd times, you end up with your mouth slightly agape, marveling at the singer on the screen with that soothing soulful voice , and wonder why he or she’s not discovered by some major music producer yet.
Then you develop that secret aspiration of becoming a sensational Youtube star yourself.
Well, if you are harboring such a secret dream, RWScoop is here to help. We’ve put together five easy steps you can take to achieve YouTube superstardom; try, cross your fingers, and hope for the best. Really, really, hope for the best.
*fair warning: decent singing voice preferred
1. Perfect your best mesmerizing gaze
Eyes are the window to the soul, or so they say. Singing’s as much about conveying emotions as it is about sounding great, so communicate with your eyes. Good lighting and practice in front of the mirror would probably help. Of course, if you’re naturally gorgeous, then you’ve got the cheat code down pat.
2. Get your hands on a good camera
Camera phones will never do you justice. Do whatever it takes; even if it means wrangling one from dad.
(Some colour or picture editing will also up your street cred.)
3. Have jamming sessions with other singers
While it probably doesn’t sound very savory, being a superstar is also inescapably about business. YouTube is a community, so spread out and make connections. And it doesn’t have to be stuffy – if there’s anything to be seen from these YouTube stars, collaboration is the word. Go crazy, make a spoof video, or simply jam together.
Loud accessories may help.
4. Know your niche
Songwriting? Being able to melt hearts? Have a distinct facial expression (e.g. a poker face)? Whatever it is, find it, work it, and hold on to it. It makes you special.
5. Be comfortable and confident in your own skin
Somehow you’ll be suave enough that even while stalking a girl in the library, people will love you.
So if any of you out there are trying to make it on the world wide web, give a few of these tips a go; you’ll never know.
Actually, we don’t really know too, so give it a shot and tell us how it goes. We’d love to hear from you.
If you need an added push and/or inspiration, mark your calendar and make a date with these fabulous YouTube stars on 5 May as they cover your favourite songs and sing some of their own. Get your tickets here!

CNA, 11 Jan 2011
SINGAPORE : The Singapore Government is taking steps to stop the two integrated resorts (IRs) – Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa – from targeting Singaporeans in their casino publicity materials.
Community Development, Youth and Sports Minister, Vivian Balakrishnan, said this in response to a question in Parliament.
Seah Kian Peng, MP for Marine Parade GRC, asked: “I have noticed of late that the IRs publicise the wins of some of the patrons who go there. They will do something on the website that says, so and so have won x dollars, and ask them to come back, or thank them for their patronage. Is that something we would want to encourage? Is that legal?”
Dr Balakrishnan responded: “They will want to publicise the wins, you will find that they never publicise the losses and the consequences of those losses on the gamblers and their families. So MCYS is taking steps to put a stop to that sort of asymmetric and unfair publicity.”
Dr Balakrishnan added that it is too premature to comment on the social impact of the casinos, as they have opened for less than a year.
But his ministry is monitoring existing safeguards, and will enhance them if necessary.
As of 31 December, 297 Family Exclusion Orders and 3,519 Self-Exclusion Orders have been issued.
For Family Exclusion Orders, 81 per cent of them have been issued to males, with 95 per cent of those barred being Chinese. For Self-Exclusion Orders, 78 per cent of them have been issued to males, with 92 per cent of those barred being Chinese.
Asked if employers of foreign workers could apply for their employees to be banned from the casinos, Dr Balakrishnan said exclusion will remain voluntary for this group.
