Hey Matt - the way I see it, you have two options if you want to submit for film & tv listings. Either you join & get the custom critiques / screener's comments and learn from them, growing into the producer you aspire to be over time... or you learn it from another source. If you don't burn to produce your own music to broadcast quality levels, then you are left pitching songs to artists. Even then, your demos need to be at least decent. So you may need to hire a demo singer and, if possible, do the instrumental stuff yourself... and then perhaps hire a sound engineer to mix and master each track.For me personally, I've used Taxi and this board to grow into a better songwriter and producer. I've had to deal with all the returns and the critiques, which isn't always easy, but I've tried to hear what they say and be willing to grow from it. I am a good singer but am limited in how much I can do with the contemporary music I write because my style is too classical. So we all have our issues. You might want to check out SongU. I'm also a member there, they offer classes in specific aspects of songwriting & production, and you can also get instructor feedback.I'll try to have a listen to your music later tonightcheersHummin'bird
