Sign in to your page, click on 'custom critique', fill in the form, choose the song, and submit. Costs $20. Ask every question you want to ask (like a la's and what listings to submit to and is this broadcast quality, etc). Takes about 2 to 3 weeks to hear back. Make sure you indicate the genre. The CC's are very helpful.

I've used John Braheny a few times. He is very good, but extremely busy. You can reach him at www.johnbraheny.com, but don't expect a quick response.Jim

I used Pete and Pat Luboff once. I was very pleased with their critique (even though they didn't like my song, I thought their critisism was valid).Very prompt, too. Next day.http://www.writesongs.com/consults.html Dean

If you belong to NSAI (www.nashvillesongwriters), they offer a pro critique service which is part of the membership. Also, you can enroll in SongU.com , and they have a critique service there as well as online courses.

Thanks guys! I just got back a critique today from Pete and Pat, and found it very helpful and encouraging. I also just got my first TAXI critique back today, which while the song wasn't forwarded was also very encouraging, and made some very good valid points, that I totally agree with. (I was actually scared to get a critique back from TAXI after all the negative things people seem to say about their critiques, but I found their feedback very helpful and totally right-on!)I'll check out NSAI too-thanks!
