I'm 16 years old and i want to become international badminton player how to follow my dream?
Becoming a renowned and international badminton star is not a simple task. You have to work really hard to achieve it. You might be good at playing it. You would be winning local competitions. But you have reach out. To what maximum level have you played? Maximally to state level. This won't suffice to become international player. Till now, you have not taken any formal training in badminton. If this is your dream, find some really good training centers, enroll there or find a well known coach to help you pursue your dream. This can only make you learn basics. Just imagine, is you would not have learned alphabets, how would have you been able to form sentences? Same is case everywhere. Someone has to teach you basic building blocks, rest is your strength and dedication. Be original and remain focused. If you live in India. I can help you out with some of my contacts with good coaches. Many badminton academies run in India and the players have done truly wonderful in events, like Gopichand Academy in Hyderabad, Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy in Pune and Bangalore, to name a few. Hope you get a glimpse of opportunities available..
Is 18 years too late to learn indian classical music and become a playback singer?
Its never too late to learn.There is no age bar for learning.You can start learning classical music anytime.However, there are certain things you need to carefully consider if you want to become a playback singer. A classical music singer is not always fit to be a playback singer. For playback singing, certain voice qualities are required. Please do not confuse them to be together. Having trained in classical music largely contributes in a playback singing career, but its not mandatory and learning classical music does not automatically qualify you for playback singing. Learning classical music and becoming playback singer can be different things.You have to seek answers of some fundamental questions here.For starters, is your voice melodious?What is your voice range? Can you modulate your voice easily? Is your voice in keeping with current lot of songs? Will you be able to practice for minimum 4–5 hours a day? You have to answer some these questions on your own, for other questions ask someone (friends,relatives) etc face to face who have knowledge in this.If you are Indian, 18 year old person, I am assuming you are studying in 12th std. If playback singing is your career choice and your voice is good enough according to you, learning classical music is a tool for it. I don’t mean to discourage you, but I am stating facts here that this industry has a lot of struggle. We watch success stories of children on television singing reality shows and think that its easy. But are you really ready to face the struggles? Also, is your family supportive in this decision. The music industry can be very stressful and you need all the support you can get from your family and friends. You have to understand, if you are thinking that you will learn today, and you will get your break within 6 months, then you are dreaming. Please think about it.Having said that, if you have got what it takes to be a playback singer, you have got a great voice, great range, flexibility to adapt to voice modulation, and you are ready to dedicate your time and energy fully for this, then go for it. About learning classical music, you can start learning anytime. :)
Do you think I can become a K-pop idol?
Pay attention to these points.The only criteria that actually matters are weight and beauty. If you don’t have a pale skin (no, not fair, but pale), forget about getting access. Even many Koreans, who are tanned due to being brought up in warmer countries, don’t get the advantage.It doesn't matter if you can’t sing. SNSD’s Yoona can’t sing more than 4 lines, but she’s still there as a dancer and a visual.Prepare to make a transition to either dramas or movies or variety shows. Even if your acting sucks like Bae Suzy, you have to make a transition because even SHINEE and Super Junior idols are now considered to be “old”.As a K-Pop idol, try to work you way in China as well. That will give you an edge over others K-Pop idols, knowing that you can be used in China as well. Just like how Xiumin is popular in China and Nichkhun is popular in Thailand, you can also do that.It’s a competitive world there. It all depends on how popular you are. If you are always in news for good reasons, you can survive happily. Just look at CNBLUE. Yong Hwa is probably the only idol of the four who has managed to make a mark for himself through multitasking.You have to master Korean, by hook or by crook. Honestly. Hire a tutor or learn from somewhere. But you should be so adept at Korean that you can rap properly in a Karaoke and score a minimum 85 there.If you are not pretty, then get ready to go under the knife, aka, plastic surgery. Chinese, as far as I know, don’t support plastic surgery because they believe in their parents’ physical features (just like how we do). In your lifetime, you have to have many such surgeries and treatments and even workouts- every day, every week, every month.
