What is the best way to get a recording contract?

Question by MandyMarie: What is the best way to get a recording contract?
I have been told by many people, including strangers, that I have an excellent voice. I am only 15 though and my parents say that “they don’t want me in the music business”, but that is all I ever wanted to do. They won’t help me pay for anything to do with music, so… if you know a way to get a recording contract (on little money) please help.

have you tried putting your stuff on youtube or myspace? That’s how ppl like Justin Bieber and Colbie Caillait were “found”. If there’s any local competition-try it out! or maybe you could sing to get money in order to get a demo recorded? I’m sorry, I know exactly how you feel lol. My family stresses in getting an education first and they kinda bash the entertainment industry for not being a “steady income”…so, to please them and yourself, for now, at 15…do it on the side as much as you can. Good luck!
