Step 1
Promote to management your intentions to have a theme based presentation as a singer and or a band. Choose an artist to emulate or era of music to play. R&B shows can be based on a new or classic artist or band. Or you can feature only the songs of all the artist during a decade.

Step 2
Dress like a superstar. When looking to book a gig on without representation, play the role of diva or superstar through your dress and general appearance. Look the part of how you would look on stage. If it is an upscale restaurant, go on an evening when it is okay to dress upscale to speak with management.

Step 3
Call the booking agent or manager of the facility to see if they will be there and available when you plan to attend. Be sure to have the general basics of a promotional kit; Card with picture and necessary contact information, a simple bio or link to a performance and bio. If you can supply a DVD or CD of your work, this is best for booking a gig.

Step 4
Train how to book a gig. Study other live band performers by asking the questions what do they wear, how do they speak and what is it that they perform. Observe audience participation and reaction to the band or singer's format.
