| Subject: Wedding Repertoire & wedding gigs From: Jessica To: Vocalist <vocalist> Send reply to: VOCALIST <vocalist>
Hello List,
A good friend of mine is considering becoming a wedding singer. She lives in the Los Angeles area, has a classical background but doesn't sing professionally. I've heard her sing and she has a lovely voice, which will likely be quite appropriate for weddings. But she lacks the repertoire and marketing know-how to get started.
I thought this list would be a great resource for her. I know many people here sing at weddings and might have an extensive list of repertoire. She's a soprano but can easily sing rep for mezzo or soprano for wedding purposes. Any ideas are welcome - what are the most requested songs? Old standards? Popular and classical suggestions would be great. Any particularly nice songs which are wedding appropriate, but not necessarily on the top 10 list? I will look through the archives as well, but would appreciate all suggestions.
Also, and perhaps more importantly, I don't know what direction to point her in for getting started singing at weddings. How does one market ones self in that area? Any and all suggestions for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and happy new year! Jessica Los Angeles
