Hello TSAI MEMBERS!
This week we will be doing a group co-write at Tone Central. Let's all plan to come prepared with at least one song idea.
Speaking of songs, I heard I messed up on a few of your songs on the last pitch and I am so sorry! We have had so many new members, and so many old members pitching NEW material, it's become overwhelming at chaotic.
That said, I am working on a new system, and we are going to implement it for the next pitch to see how it works. Also: shout out to Charlie Wong for being my tester! I am going to be sending each member a unique link to their Google drive that will contain all the music we have on file for you. Feel free to delete and upload at will...
For the pitch I am going to be providing a Google form with a few questions and a place for you to upload your songs and lyric sheets for that particular pitch. This will keep everything in one place so that I am not climbing through several e-mail addresses, folders, and mountains to make it happen for you! Stay tuned!
Also, as we have grown significantly in the recent months, we will no longer be able to have 2 songs per pitch. It's getting too hard to get through. We will be only accepting one song per pitch and hoping to have time for a little Q&A after with our artist/producer/publisher as time permits. If we have even more time, whoever is in our audience at the time, may have a chance to pitch a second song. (will be on a case by case basis)
Thank you all, thank you to our sponsors, and keep doing what you're doing.
Let's continue to grow together!
Jenna Marotta
