Press Release

I'd like to share this information with Blues, Gospel, Country, R&B, Jazz and Hip Hop Singers as well as musicians, actors, dancers and models. It concerns making the connections you need to succeed in the entertainment business. I recently spoke to a young man about a website and how it would help his music career. He told me he was becoming frustrated with all of his unsuccessful efforts to be seen by record producers, talent agencies and people in television and the motion picture industry. As he was both, a singer and an actor. He explained, to me how difficult it was to even get an appointment with any of the decision makers in the entertainment business. He also said that he knew he would have to be seen by as many of them, as possible before he could even find one to invest in and promote him. So I suggested using a website like myspace where he could display examples of his work. He told me he had placed his work on myspace but even he understood that myspace pages don't come up in the search engines like a personal or individual website. So he was among 1,000's of other entertainers that were not getting all of the attention they were looking for unless they first were able to send the link to their myspace page to someone that was interested or speak to them and let them know about his myspace page.

So I started thinking and asking people I knew about this you man's dilemma. Here's what I found I knew a person who owned a website design business, so I contacted him and told him of this you man's problem. He explained to me that he understood completely and had come up with a way to cut through some of the obstacles that stopped the young man from getting to enough targeted important contacts in the entertainment business.

He explained that he had been a performer in his youth and had played guitar with successful entertainers such as Bobby Lyle, Willie Weeks, Jack Mac Duff, the Bob Jenkins Orchestra that backed other nationally know stars like Gladys Knight the Pips and he had even had played with Pat Boone at one time but he never saw the success that a young man from his neighborhood achieved who had borrowed and imitated many of his attributes.

You see, just like the entertainer that succeeded in the music business, he road a motorcycle and wore boots with high heels on them the British cut suits with ruffle front shirts, with frilly cuffs, collars and puffy sleeves, like the style of suit worn by Paul Revere and the red coats during the war between Great Britain and the 13 colonies. He told me that he had dressed like that and his favorite color was purple and he wore it frequently. I was slightly in awe.

But he said never the less he indeed had found a way to make it possible today for a performers to audition and be heard by the record producers, talent and booking agents, concert promoters, night club owners, even people in motion pictures and television. He said that by shooting a video of the performer and adding it to a website that can be copied onto CD it becomes an audition tape like in the 60's, 70's and 80's, etc. The whole thing can have animated pictures and text with the performer's video audition and music track samples to hold a decision makers attention. It can be circulated by mail, given out in person or over the internet on video broadcast websites and through social networking websites or the web. He to me that it was combination Video and audio audition tape, portfolio/bios Press Kit and Website all on a CD or DVD. Giving every individual singer, singing group or performer who wanted to audition a much more efficient solution to this problem.

He explained that it could get a top ranking in the search engines and be accessible 24 hours a day 365 days a year. He told me where I could see a sample and I thought it did everything he told me and it was a great tool to success Now You can see a sample on his website at http://www.totalmediaservice.com/VideoAudtionCD

I think you'll be as impressed as I was and if you're a performer in the business, you'll find it useful in your quest to be discovered. I guess that if an entertainer is willing to spend thousands of dollars on clothing, jewelry, equipment and the other things that are all part of his or her tools for success. Then an investment in something this important is a necessity and must be taken advantage of.
