- 1). Download free recording software to your computer, such as GarageBand or Audacity. If you don't have a microphone for your computer, you can purchase a USB microphone online for less than $50. You'll need this equipment and software so you can record a rough version of your song to give prospective singers an idea of how it should be performed.
- 2). Plug your USB mic into the USB port on your computer. Open your recording software and begin recording your song. Save the recording to your computer.
- 3). Post notices requesting competent singers on social-networking and bulletin-board sites, such as MySpace, Facebook and Craigslist. Explain the type of singer you are looking for (for example, a pop singer a la Michael Jackson), the style of music and whether you can pay for the singer's time and services. Post the same notice on artist and musician sites, such as ReverbNation, Musicians Page and GigMasters (see Resources).
- 4). Attend a musical showcase in your community to hear singers perform live. Bring CD copies of your song with your contact information. Approach singers after the showcase and mention that you are looking for someone to sing your song. Schedule meetings with interested singers individually before agreeing to hire or use one's services.
