In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Being famous is a struggle, and it can often mean comparing yourself to other people your age. If you have a special talent or interest, take classes to improve your talent and practice it often so that you stand out. You’ll have a much better chance at getting famous if you are one of the best in your field. Being good at a sport, excelling in art, acting, singing, and dancing are all examples of talents you could work on developing.  Having multiple talents can also help you stand out. Actors who can sing and dance are more well-rounded, and might get more jobs than people who can just act. Acting classes, singing classes, and music lessons all help you become a better performer. Art classes and sports practice will help you get better at your specific skill. Look for film making classes or video game design tutorials to help you create projects that you can show off. To work in the talent industry, people will want to know what you look like. Having a good headshot can lead to a job simply based on the way that you look. Go to a professional to get your headshots taken, and keep them updated as you grow.  If your parents are hesitant about spending money on headshots, remind them that they are an investment into your future. Some photography studios have deals on headshots. Look at the professional journals and magazines, such as Backstage Callsheet. This lists all the talent agencies in Los Angeles and New York. Look for the ones who represent famous children and contact them for representation. They can help you find auditions and castings if you're an actor, singer, or model.  Remember, no quality agent will sign you without your parents' consent if you are younger than 18. Never follow an agent's direction without consulting with a responsible adult. Always be honest in representing yourself to potential agents. If you don't look anything like your photograph, no agent will sign you. Talk to your parents about moving to an area where the talent industry is more accessible. It is easier to become a famous singer if you're already living in Nashville. If you're in Los Angeles, it will be easier to break into show business. If you are in an area where other famous people are already, it will be easier for you to become famous. Attend events whenever you can which are part of your talent or area of skill, even if you're not on stage. Shows such as American Idol, The Voice, or other well-known competitions are great ways to become famous. Auditions for these shows are held in locations all over the country. Check out the website for the talent show that you want to sign up for. Some require you to send them a video of your talent online, while others let you show up in person to audition. Try to practice your talent daily to have a shot at getting on TV.  Remember that the competition for these shows is very tough! You'll find yourself in line with literally thousands of other children, all dreaming of becoming famous. Even if you don’t win a talent show, getting on TV as a contestant is great exposure. Everyone can be famous, but most people aren't. This isn't always because they're not talented, but because they decide that other things in their life are more important than being famous. If you truly want to be famous, you'll have to be persistent.  If one agency turns you down, move on to the next one. Set goals for yourself in your talent area. Try to improve upon your talent or skill to make it even better.
Summary: Take classes and practice your talent often. Get professional headshots taken. Get a talent agent to help you book auditions. Move closer to talent agencies and industries if your parents will allow it. Sign up for a reality talent show to get discovered. Be persistent, even if you get discouraged.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most clippers come with a maintenance kit that includes a small brush. After every shave, brush excess hair off of the blades and guard. This ensures that old hair does not build up and work its way into the clipper's interior, where it can interfere with the operation of the motor. If your clippers didn't come with a brush, you can use an old toothbrush or a bristly pipe cleaner. Most clippers also contain a small bottle of lubricating mineral oil. After every several shaves, clean the blades with the brush, then apply a few drop of mineral oil along the clipper's teeth. Turn the clipper on for about twenty seconds. This allows the oil to spread along the blades, keeping them sharp and smooth. If your clippers didn't come with oil, contact the manufacturer before substituting your own oil - many household oils aren't suitable for clippers and will affect their performance. Well-maintained clippers should give you few problems. However, like any electric appliance, clippers can experience occasional performance issues. Here are a few of the most common complaints, with basic troubleshooting instructions:  "My clippers make a very loud buzzing noise." Many clippers have a voltage regulator that resembles a screw on the side of the device. This can be easily adjusted with an included tool or an everyday screwdriver. Experiment with adjusting the voltage regulator in either direction until the noise stops. There is no risk of electrocution. "My clippers can't cut my hair." Your clippers may not be sharp enough or the internal motor may be losing power. Ensure that you're regularly cleaning and oiling the blades. If you clippers are noticeably slower, there may be an issue with the motor - it may be time to replace the clippers. Consult your manufacturer for warranty information. Alternatively, your hair may simply be too thick! Clear any hair that is jammed in the blades and try again with shallower cuts.  "My clippers don't hold a charge." Over time, the battery in portable clippers can deteriorate. Most manufacturers can replace them - contact your manufacturer for more information. "My clipper's blades are crooked." It's possible for clipper blades to get bumped out of alignment. Realignment is not generally a difficult process, but it will differ based on the precise make and model of your clippers. Thankfully, most manufacturers will have online guides for blade realignment and amateur DIY instructions are easy to find.
Summary:
Clean your clippers. Keep your clippers sharp. Be prepared for common problems.
