I copyrighted my songs”¦. Now what??
What is the best way to get my music “sync'd” into ads, film/tv?
There are sync opportunities out there for good songs that are recorded well, by writers of all levels and in all genres. Even if you aren’t affiliated with an established music publishing company who’s actively seeking out opportunities within major film/tv and advertising projects, there are lots of ways to get syncs going.
Writers can get started by reaching out to student and independent filmmakers as well as high-volume creators of User-Generated Content (e.g. on YouTube). Another avenue is to research third-party licensing companies or online licensing platforms, where music is catalogued in searchable databases and made available to potential licensees.
Putting together a creative artist-web presence in social media and other internet properties is essential. Engaging and submitting to music blogs that are popular with tastemakers and film/tv music gatekeepers can also be a useful tool in getting exposure and maybe some buzz, all of which can translate to syncs.
