Submitting a Demo
Tips: To make the most impact with your demo in all your presentations
remember the following tips.
1) Always send the best quality recording you have. If you are a
songwriter and not a performer you may be able to get away with a rough
recording but for performers the quality of the performance is key to a
successful presentation.
2) Present yourself professionally. To be taken seriously you must show
that you can present yourself well. Artists can be difficult to manage and
labels usually like people who handle themselves in a businesslike manner
(at least between gigs).
3) Promote yourself as much as possible. Many bands don't do much to
achieve success, leaving that to the record label or managers. Although
SDR is well prepared to help on this front, unlike many other labels; it
is always important to promote your music personally. If you don't believe
in it then who will.
4) Try to send a finished or near finished product. Labels like to see
you can deliver a professional sounding finished product or idea. Don't
submit a work in progress as a rule of thumb.
5) Include a press kit with your submission if possible. If you have
been in the press then send any copies you have with your submission.
Photos need not be artistic or professional but need to clearly depict the
band members if possible.
