You've spent years honing your craft and are releasing great music. But how do you make a living on music while you're still building your fanbase? You've heard about music licensing and have probably tried a few, if not all of the following:
- You've DM'd every music supervisor you could find
- You've gone to conferences and chased after the panelists with your business card in hand
- You've released your music everywhere and are crossing your fingers you'll be discovered by a music supervisor
Most importantly, after everything you've tried, you've gotten ZERO results.
What if you could learn what music supervisors are looking for? Better yet, what if you could learn the right way to get your music heard by music supervisors?
Look no further. This course is perfect for musicians, artists, managers and anyone else looking for a basic understanding of how to get their music into TV & Film projects. It will help artists with the ever looming question of:
"How do I make money with my music?"
With this step-by-step guide to kickstarting your music licensing income, you will gain access to the minds of music supervisors and what they’re looking for. We will give an overview of music licensing, provide a step-by-step etiquette guide to getting your music licensed, and present tips on gaining access to music supervisors, decision makers, and their trusted sources.
We'll cover all the different avenues you can take to get your music represented and in front of music supervisors and the typical deals that these companies provide. As well as an overall understanding of the creative process behind the music in your favorite TV shows, commercials, films, and video games.
Ever wonder why some artists seem to get tons of licensing opportunities while you're having trouble landing any?
We'll go over what makes a song "syncable" and the steps you can take to make your music more attractive to music supervisors. Students will analyze syncs in many forms of media and examine their own music to ensure it's sync friendly. We've also included songs from each genre that are highly coveted for sync.
You'll even have access to huge discounts on the industry standard professional directory including contact information for music supervisors and sync agencies (up to $140 value).
This course provides lifetime access and you can even download everything to print out and learn at your leisure. You'll also get to download actual licensing forms to use in your own negotiations and step-by-step checklists to make sure you're making your most syncable music.
