Hey I'm brand new

[Casey H]

Thanks so much for that information Casey! To be perfectly honest these are things I have to figure out. I would love to pitch to country artists, but I'd kind of like to be the artist, this is something I have to figure out. I would also love to pitch to tv/film. These are huge ideas that I realize will take time and a ton of practice! What are the popular genres for tv/film?

Pop, Singer-Songwriter, Rock, Rap, Hip-Hop, etc. Just read through the Taxi listings. It will be pretty obvious what Film/TV libraries and supervisors are looking for. They generally are looking for music similar to what's on the charts today though they do look for some other things as well. Every listing has reference tracks. That tells you what the targets are.

Yes, I do look at the listings pretty much daily if I can. I'm amazed how many listings there are sometimes!

Hi Coral
I would say this song is in the folk genre. You already know it's not broadcast quality for listings at this point. One thing to consider though is that there isn't a lot of call for this style nowadays.

I agree that a religious theme can limit an application, but the style Coral is performing is being heard a lot in Netflix shows like Heartstopper, The summer I became pretty, and others in that genre. Used in scene transitions. Whether they will move on here, I don't know. I am a newbie too

Yes my voice is not what it use to be, but I subscribe to puremix.com so I can get production feedback and instruction there. I am using ToonTracks Superior Drummer 3 and EZbass to assist with songwriting and Fiverr.com for pro musicians but now out of money.

No, not attending, but would if I had the budget. Need to move some songs

Btw listen to the series soundtrack for “the summer I turned pretty” season one you would song great with some of the styles represented like some Taylor Swift type arrangements.
