Program Outline
Each attendee will upload an MP3 of an original song along with a lyric sheet.
We recommend you send in a song that is a “work in progress” instead of a finished demo or master, as you may find opportunities to further strengthen your work.
Pam & Richard both offer their professional opinion and constructive feedback on how each song can be improved, to include in-depth comments regarding song concept, lyrics, melody, rhythm, production, and commercial viability. Participants have found these sessions to be invaluable, as the feedback is provided in a highly supportive and encouraging environment.
