Song Central industry users provide some TIPS on things that can work for and against your song demos ... |
|
Your song demo is a opportunity for showcasing your lyrical and musical songwriting ability to industry users. A good song demo should be successful in showcasing both your song as well as its 'potential' for further use and/or adaptation. The best song demo is one that has been produced by a professional producer. However, this is costly and not always an option for many songwriters. So, in the absence of a producer, your song demo needs to be the best YOU can make it both vocally and musically. Here are some dos and don't worth considering when producing your own song demos..... |

DON'T Have a long introduction to your song...This is one of the most common pitfalls made by songwriters producing demos and is one of the surest ways to limit your song's chance of being heard. Always remember, everyone listening to demos of songs & music have very limited time to devote to hearing your song. So, it is vital they hear the best part of your song as quickly as possible. If you have a great hook and chorus don't waste ten or twenty seconds of the listeners time on an introduction (and waste 20 seconds of their time) before they get to hear the best part of your song. "Industry users will only spend a few moments reviewing your submissions so give yourself the absolute best chance to be heard. In other words ... forget (or limit) introductions." Monica O'Brien, Willow Publishing Pty Ltd |

DON'T Provide a rough recording...Don't risk producing a rough recording of your song. For example, some of the live recordings found on YouTube and other video sharing websites are fine for showcasing 'performances' of songs (providing the performance of great) but they are not the best way to showcase your song's potential for consideration by recording artists. It is important to make sure you have a quality recording that clearly showcases your melody and lyrics as well as the song's ''feel'' etc. This requires either good musicianship or programming skills and most importantly the technical and emotional vocal talent to captivate the listener and to make clear the qualities inherent in the composition.
