Professor Pooch

A fact of life – most venues don’t often care how good an Artist/Band is! They mostly care how many people you can bring in.

But, if you want to keep the potential fans that come out to hear you, and you want them to spread the word, you better be Really Good -and put on a Great Show! A Show that will make people spread the word about You…

…And, there’s No Better Promo than “Word of Mouth.” Because, it has the most integrity!

Tonight Tuesday, 7PM-8PM Eastern Time (and Every Tuesday)!

When it comes down to placing 1 or 2 songs with an “Music Library,” etc., where nowadays they want an ongoing 50% to License your Song, plus also get 50% of the Recording income, it all basically comes down to: How important is that Song(s) to You?

Then there’s always that voice in the back of my head from My main Music Biz Mentor, Artist/Songwriter/Producer Eugene McDaniels, (Roberta Flack, Gladys Knight, Phyllis Hyman, etc.), when he wanted to give one of my songs to Roberta Flack when I was a young Artist who wanted to keep that Song for myself. He said to me: “Pooch, so You write another Song...”

There is a major item of concern I’ve encountered quite often regarding those who have taken vocal lessons. It seems that too many “voice teachers” train the Singer to focus on thinking about how they sing. It could be thinking about breathing, thinking about the tone, thinking about the volume, and/or thinking about the control. That’s fine, and may be very helpful, IF the teachers solve “the problems” and get the Singers to make the “solutions” a habit. And then, Set Them Loose!

It’s a shame, but in too many cases it’s actually much easier for me to get a person to feel and communicate the songs, if they didn’t have vocal lessons.

I’m sorry, but it is impossible to think and feel at the same time! And I gotta Feel You Talking to Me!
