Producer Professionalism

Professionalism is key when it comes to music production. I am talking about when trying to reach out to clients or getting in contact with labels. One key factor is distribution of music. Since there are so many ways of doing this you want people to take you serious when you talk with them. So how might you stay professional? Fist and foremost having an email address. You might be thinking that’s it, no but you need a professional name email. Don’t have an email that says bestbeerdrinker@gmail.com. That’s not something you want to talk to a serious label or distribution company with. Create an email address for professional work only. Having your name is a common way to be a professional. Here is an example of a professional email address: John.Doe@gmail.com. If your first and last name is taken put a number after your last name like a 1 or month you were born. Don’t go overboard with the numbers just add one number to differentiate you from the other taken email. Adding a signature to your ending message is another important element. A signature is something that you put at the end of an email to explain who you are.

Here is an example:

Respectfully Submitted

John Doe

Engineer/Producer

John.doe@gmail.com

That is really basic but it helps people look at how you present your work to them. Ok now you have a good email. Social networks are another way to get you a professional look. Make sure that you use the same name for every social network you are on. This helps people follow you quickly and easily on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. Having these social networks remain professional steer away from posting things you normally would on a personal social network. This can hurt your following and how people judge you if you are acting out. It can be time consuming to go into each and individual site so; a good way is link them together. This helps you to post one time and have that go to all of your sites. There are so many sites that can help you do this and I suggest doing this. I hope this helped to give you some guidance toward your producing career.

That is all,
