Here are answers to some of the most “Frequently Asked Questions” about the
CAREERLAUNCHER Program

Question: How far can the CAREERLAUNCHER Program take me?
Answer: Whether you want to be a "big fish in a small pond", or shooting for a record deal, the CAREERLAUNCHER Program can head you in the right direction. Our program allows you the flexibility to adapt it to your own goals. It provides information and step by step strategies to pursue record labels, lucrative high-profile engagements (such as fairs and festivals), radio airplay, tremendous publicity opportunities, as well as getting a Nashville quality recording. Your own motivation will to a great extent determine the success you have.

Question: What's the big deal about "Nashville quality? "Why can't I just record with good local musicians?
Answer:  As an aspiring recording artist, you need to make the best impression possible.  True, there are excellent musicians everywhere, but the best in the business are concentrated in Nashville.  Record companies are used to hearing top quality demos, and any chance of radio airplay is virtually impossible without the "Nashville sound"

Question: I sing fine on my own, why do I need a producer?
Answer: Although you may sing well on stage, the studio is a whole different ball game.  You need your producer's guidance and objectivity. The difference between a “good” or hit potential vocal performance can be small and subtle at most!

Question: I've been told "if you're good you never have to pay for anything - they will." Is that true?
Answer:  Yes, once you've been signed to a record label.  But in order to get signed, you need to present a top quality, convincing product. The “burden of proof” is on your shoulders, and that's your responsibility. There are no free rides!

Question: What about all the competition out there?
Answer: Your only competition in the recording business is yourself. Success depends on how well you do what you are trying to do. We have a 70 year old client from Idaho who is a regional hero, selling all kinds of CD's and doing shows, including TV!

Question: Why is "original" material so important?
Answer : New or original material is an essential part of what establishes your identity as an act. That's why aspiring country singers aren't going to make it by recording Garth Brooks' or Patsy Cline's songs.  Original material showcases the real you! Providing it is another outstanding feature of the CAREERLAUNCHER Program.

Question: I've been playing clubs for years. How can I make real money with my talent, instead of the typical $100 a weekend?
Answer: Talent alone doesn't bring success and things don't just happen by themselves. You must be able to package what you have to offer and pursue the right avenues. The CAREERLAUNCHER Program will introduce venues where it’s possible to make $1,000 to $2,500 per show, even without a big name.  Every state is loaded with opportunities like this, but you need to know where to look!

Question: Do I have to know how to read music for the CAREERLAUNCHER Program?
Answer:  No, It is not necessary to read music, or play an instrument, or write your own songs.

Question: Must I "Qualify" for the CAREERLAUNCHER Program in anyway?
Answer: Yes, that's why we require a demo.
