HOW TO ORDER home
SEND IN YOUR MATERIAL
If you have a lead sheet or music manuscript send it in.
We read music and our singers will sing your song as written.
We can also work from your rough vocal cassette/CD or mp3 and lyric sheet.
If you want your melody followed exactly, we recommend ordering a lead sheet.
If not, we will come as close as humanly possible to your tape.
GIVE US A METRONOME MARKING
This will give us the exact tempo of your song.
If you do not know this marking make sure your rough cassette has a steady
beat and very close to the tempo you want.
SEND US A SHORT SAMPLE
If you want your demo patterned after a certain song or artist give us a
short sample of that song.
PATTERN YOUR LYRICS
Contemporary music consist of a verse (A pattern) and a chorus (B pattern)
and sometimes a bridge (C pattern). Repetition turns these patterns into a song.
Each A section should be consistent with the other A sections in terms
of syllables, chords etc. The B section should be the hook and
should be repeated a few times during the song. The C section
(if any) should be a short break and different from the
other sections just to add a little variety.
KEEP EACH SECTION CONCISE
Do not overwrite. Keep the song in the 3 minute range.
Recite your lyrics as if they were poetry. Do they flow? Are they easy to read?
Remember a vocalist has to interpret your words;
phrasing and flow are very important to the vocal performance.
