Hello Mahi!
How to Become a Singer
Develop Your Vocal Skills
The first step to becoming a singer is to develop your vocal skills. This can be done by taking voice lessons from a qualified vocal coach. A vocal coach can help you learn proper breathing techniques, pitch matching, and increase your vocal range. They can also help you identify any bad habits that you may have developed and work with you to correct them.
Practice Regularly
In addition to taking voice lessons, it’s important to practice regularly. Set aside time each day to practice singing. This will help you improve your technique, build up your stamina, and increase your confidence. You can practice singing along to your favorite songs or try writing your own songs.
Perform Live
Once you have developed your vocal skills and practiced regularly, it’s time to start performing live. This can be done by joining a local choir, auditioning for community theater productions, or performing at open mic nights. Performing live will help you gain experience and build up your confidence. It will also give you the opportunity to connect with other musicians and music industry professionals.
Record Demos
As you gain more experience performing live, consider recording demos of your songs. This will give you something to showcase your talent and help you get noticed by music industry professionals. You can record demos at home using basic recording equipment or hire a professional recording studio.
Network
Networking is an important part of becoming a singer. Attend music industry events, join music organizations, and connect with other musicians on social media. Building relationships with other musicians and industry professionals can lead to opportunities such as recording contracts, performance opportunities, and collaborations.
How to Become a Dancer
Take Dance Classes
The first step to becoming a dancer is to take dance classes. This can be done at a local dance studio or through a community center or university program. There are many different styles of dance, so it’s important to try out different styles and find one that you enjoy and are good at. Consider taking classes in ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, or contemporary dance.
Practice Regularly
In addition to taking dance classes, it’s important to practice regularly. Set aside time each day to practice dancing. This will help you improve your technique, build up your stamina, and increase your confidence. You can practice by yourself or with a group of friends who also enjoy dancing.
Perform Live
Once you have developed your dancing skills and practiced regularly, it’s time to start performing live. This can be done by joining a local dance company or performing at community events or festivals. Performing live will help you gain experience and build up your confidence. It will also give you the opportunity to connect with other dancers and choreographers.
Create a Dance Reel
As you gain more experience performing live, consider creating a dance reel. This is a short video that showcases your dancing skills and style. A dance reel is an important tool for getting noticed by casting directors and choreographers in the entertainment industry. You can create a dance reel by filming yourself dancing in different settings or collaborating with a videographer or filmmaker.

Some singers and dancers start young, either by self-discovery or by their family's influence. List down your favorite singers/dancers, their songs and dances then listen to their music, grab the lyrics and sing along. Same for dancing, a lot of tutorials are already available in the internet so just move along.
If you find that passion in you to dance and/or sing enroll in a formal class. Usually, classes would have practicuum that would allow you to perform in an audience. It is nerve-wracking but it is also fun!

I would suggest you get lots of excellent training. Do not try and teach yourself-or be self taught.
Practice, practice, practice on a regular basis.
Join church choir and school band. Learn as much as you can from peers and instructors.
As you get better, and when you are ready, try an Open Mic night at a local restaurant (age appropriate).
Join a band and have fun and be safe!
Enjoy the journey!

I would suggest to get involved in outside dance teams to get you into dancing and doing what you really love

Hi Mahi:
Training is the best way to start out in singing and dancing. I have two nieces (sisters) that are dancers. They started very young attending dancing school where they first learned ballet and progressed to tap, hip hop and lyrical as they got older. They continued dancing throughout their school years including college. The eldest niece was a choreographer while in college and her sister joined the dancing team at her university. They traveled a lot with their dance company as the company was often requested to perform on cruise ships and in arenas to name a few.
I have cousins that have beautiful voices where they often sang in the church choir and sometimes at family events. I suggest that you participate in a choir. Some restaurants have karaoke night. Perhaps you could participate in this event with your family. Also, you may want to sing in front of your family, record your singing and, play it back to see how you've done. I'm sure your family would be happy to provide you with constructive criticism and you could see how you're progressing along the way. . . . Best of luck to you!
