confident parts of yourself, and you'll need to polish them until they shine.
So: Who are you, really?
(Note: If you're a self-professed diehard geek, or if you refuse to conform to the majority's standards of beauty, you've come to the wrong place.)
Looks
I'm not gonna lie to you, the music industry is superficial. It's superficial because beauty sells.
If you want to be a star, you need to be a moneymaker. So if you need to be stick-thin, do it. If you need braces, get them (or move to the UK or Japan, where teeth aren't as big a deal... yet). If you've got flaws, cover them up.
If you're over the age of forty, good luck to you-- it might be too late to become a rock star already. Youth is the most precious commodity in the entertainment industry. You better either be a young-looking forty, or you better be damned good-looking and good at your instrument.
I told ya and I warned ya: You're gonna have to sell your soul.
Clothes
If you've got the body already, find the clothes that you're most comfortable in, and pick out the styles that you love the most. You should get an idea of your personal style this way, but you need to glam it up for rock stardom. What kinds of clothes do you like looking at? What kind of image do you want to project? Do you like costumes?
Also-- don't dress to copy others; dress for authenticity. You can find 1970s-type ripped-up safety-pinned punk clothing anywhere, but the whole point was to do it yourself and get in touch with your own creativity. Retail punk is oxymoronic.
Confidence
Not all of us are perfect, and we can hide minor flaws by using easy-breezy confidence to draw people's attention away from them.
Tips? Stand up straight and stop looking at the floor.
Learn how to talk about anything and everything.
Smile.
Don't get too cocky; it's a turn-off.
If all else fails, use your relaxant of choice. But not too much of it.
Legitimacy
You know how rappers get street cred when they get arrested? A compelling backstory may possibly help propel you to the heights of stardom.
If you didn't grow up poor or in an abusive family and didn't suffer from depression or self-mutilation or drug addiction, don't worry-- you'll have to rely only on your looks and confidence and talent, but a lot of stars have gotten famous even without a horrible past.
Consistency
Like a politician, you have to make sure that you're fairly consistent once you get on the map. If you're getting popular doing Goth rock and you suddenly want to switch into Alternative punk, you're going to lose your fans. Pick one look and sound and try to stick with it. You can deviate a little bit, but you can't change too much (unless you're already famous and don't care about losing fans).
