OPPORTUNITIES
These particular links are the best sources we have found for aspiring musicians to network and to seek job opportunities:
The TAXI Music agency is the most legitimate way for a musician to get their foot, as well as their work, through the front-door. There is an annual membership fee, along with a per-submission fee of $5.00: http://www.taxi.com/
Pump Audio Inc. is a professional Music Library that is owned by Getty Images. Pros: If accepted, this FREE service will put your music into their main catalog to license for use in any medium, and you will get paid 70% of the royalties; Con: With the HUGE amount of submissions Pump receives in light of the service being "FREE", the review process for a music submission can take anywhere from 6 months, to a year and a half to complete!! http://www.pumpaudio.com/
The Film Music Network is a GREAT "How-To" source for those starting out. But the "Blind Pitch" success rate for getting work when submitting music for potential jobs, can ONLY be described as questionable, since there are NO guarantees that you will get a response: http://www.filmmusic.net/
The BEST way to work your way into scoring for Film/TV, is to build relationships with aspiring filmmakers, to gain experience, and to start building up a list of credits for yourself, along the way. And who knows? Maybe the wet-behind-the-ears filmmaker you network with today will be "The Next Quentin Tarantino" tomorrow!! http://www.studentfilmmakers.com/
