2019-03-21	In LA – NARIP Games Music Supervisor Pitch Session (Call of Duty, Crash Team Racing, Sekiro): Activision Blizzard’s Young × NARIP Games Music Supervisor Pitch Session with Activision Blizzard’s Brandon Young Thu Mar 21, 2019 in Los Angeles Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Supervisors 1000+ Music Placements and 14 Synch Agent Signings Result From NARIP Pitch Sessions Read more here WHAT TO EXPECT AT A NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR PITCH SESSION PREPARATION IS KEY NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions are limited to an enrollment of just 16 people. About one week prior to NARIP’s Session, all registrants will get a brief of the guest supervisor’s then-CURRENT music needs. Each registrant will have a chance to pitch in response to the music briefs provided and get immediate feedback to music pitched. Each participant must submit 7 songs (MP3s only please) 36 hours prior to NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session. Please note that due to time constraints you will only be able to pitch your TOP 3 songs for consideration and immediate feedback (more, if time permits). This process takes the mystery out of why a piece of music does or doesn’t fit. On-the-spot feedback enables registrants to re-work tracks and re-submit, which creates a much higher probability to get them licensed (choose well!). If you do not have music that matches the current needs of the supervisor, fear not! You can still attend and present the top three songs in your catalog. Make sure the songs are unique and captivating. This is helpful because a music supervisor’s needs change constantly. To optimize impact of music you pitch at NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session, we highly recommend that you target the briefs. Good luck and see you there! BEFORE NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: NARIP prepares a one-sheet for each participant including your photo and bio for the guest music supervisor to use and review at the event, and to take with him after the event. We will request your photo and bio one week prior to the event. In preparing these materials, we recommend you focus on brief career highlights in your bio and have a professional photo available. Approximately 5 to 7 days prior to NARIP’s Session, you will be sent a project brief describing several cues needed for a current project(s) of our guest speaker. These often include reference songs or links so that you can hear exactly what he seeks or needs to replace. You will submit your tracks with writer, publisher and other rights holder information that will also be supplied to the music supervisor during and after NARIP’s Session. You will get submission and meta-tagging guidelines, and mentoring as to how best to prepare your music for submission. DURING NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: You will get to play at least three songs (sometimes more, if time permits) for the guest music supervisor who will provide feedback to you for each one. NARIP moderator asks very specific questions to help participants learn and understand how to modify their tracks to make these more place-able for the guest supervisor’s specific needs at hand. AFTER NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: NARIP provides guest music supervisor with participant one-sheets and all music from NARIP’s Session, including notes detailing the guest music supervisor’s interest in specific tracks. If requested by guest music supervisor, NARIP conveys additional tracks, remixes, instrumentals etc. to him. If approved by guest music supervisor, NARIP provides his contact details to registrants. DON’T GET LOST IN THE CROWD: SMALL IS THE NEW BIG NARIP Sessions are deliberately kept small and intimate, which is just one reason they work so well and why participants have enjoyed over 1,000 placements to date. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees that registrants meet and get face-time with our guest. OVER 1,000 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works! NARIP Session participants have placed well over 1,000 tracks as a direct result of NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions. Other benefits include new publishing deals for NARIP members, creative collaborations and co-writes, strategic introductions to other music supervisors and placement experts, new representation for composers and much more. NARIP’S BIGGEST PLACEMENT TO DATE : VODAFONE Click here to read about NARIP’s biggest placement to date in a Vodafone campaign (Oct 2014) that paid handsomely and launched a career. Other brand placements include McDonalds and AT&T ads, among others.

Harness the Power of an Independent Commissioned Sales and Marketing Agent to Exploit and Monetize Your Music! 1000+ Music Placements and 14 Synch Agent Signings Result From NARIP Pitch Sessions Read more here A NARIP Series: Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Synch Agents Is your music getting to decision-makers – people who can say YES and write a check? The Synch Agents* featured in NARIP Pitch Sessions are among the top sales and marketing executives who actively place music owned by songwriters, composers and independent music publishers. Many music buyers – directors, producers and music supervisors – name these Synch Agents as among their go-to music providers. These Agents, who NARIP has researched and interviewed, have placed thousands of songs in blockbuster films, hit television shows, trailers, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and video games. At NARIP’s intimate sessions, you get to meet and pitch Synch Agents for current placement opportunities and representation, and get immediate feedback. Come meet these career-makers. BACKGROUND Since 2011, NARIP Music Supervisor Pitch Sessions have secured over 1,000 placements in blockbuster films, hit television series, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and trailers for NARIP members. NARIP members have also secured publishing deals and formed creative collaborations too numerous to mention as a direct result of these NARIP’s Sessions. Topics Access multiple potential buyers and placements Trends in synch licensing and agent deals Exclusive, non-exclusive, single-song deals Budgets and fee ranges Royalties, copyright ownership, rights retention Fees and deal points between synch agents and their clients Which synch agents seek a transfer of copyright(s) for their services, and under what circumstances Song re-titling Small, focused NARIP Sessions enable one-on-one time and immediate direct feedback to music presented by participants. At hundreds of NARIP Sessions, we asked every guest music supervisor how to better market music to them. Their one consistent piece of advice? Get representation! At NARIP Synch Agent Pitch Sessions, limited to 16 people, you get to know the synch agents and they to get to know you. Most important, attendees meet these key players, paving the way for possible representation and ongoing opportunities, and giving them an edge in a competitive market. * Synch Agent: A synchronization or “synch” agent represents music copyrights – either the composition, the sound recordings, or both. They pitch music to buyers and their representatives, including to music supervisors. Synch agents are typically compensated on a commission basis and do not own or control the copyrights they represent. While synch agents usually focus on entertainment and media exploitations, traditional songplugger services also include placement of represented songs with recording artists.

2019-02-05	In LA – NARIP Film & TV Music Supervisor Pitch Session (Couples Therapy, Teen Mum, Basketball Wives): Sam Hayflich × NARIP Film & TV Music Supervisor Pitch Session with VH1’s Sam Hayflich in Los Angeles on Tue Feb 5, 2019 Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Supervisors 1000+ Placements and 12 Signings Result From NARIP Pitch Sessions Read more here WHAT TO EXPECT AT A NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR PITCH SESSION PREPARATION IS KEY NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions are limited to an enrollment of just 16 people. About one week prior to NARIP’s Session, all registrants will get a brief of the guest supervisor’s then-CURRENT music needs. Each registrant will have a chance to pitch in response to the music briefs provided and get immediate feedback to music pitched. Each participant must submit 7 songs (MP3s only please) 36 hours prior to NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session. Please note that due to time constraints you will only be able to pitch your TOP 3 songs for consideration and immediate feedback (more, if time permits). This process takes the mystery out of why a piece of music does or doesn’t fit. On-the-spot feedback enables registrants to re-work tracks and re-submit, which creates a much higher probability to get them licensed (choose well!). If you do not have music that matches the current needs of the supervisor, fear not! You can still attend and present the top three songs in your catalog. Make sure the songs are unique and captivating. This is helpful because a music supervisor’s needs change constantly. To optimize impact of music you pitch at NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session, we highly recommend that you target the briefs. Good luck and see you there! BEFORE NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: NARIP prepares a one-sheet for each participant including your photo and bio for the guest music supervisor to use and review at the event, and to take with him after the event. We will request your photo and bio one week prior to the event. In preparing these materials, we recommend you focus on brief career highlights in your bio and have a professional photo available. Approximately 5 to 7 days prior to NARIP’s Session, you will be sent a project brief describing several cues needed for a current project(s) of our guest speaker. These often include reference songs or links so that you can hear exactly what he seeks or needs to replace. You will submit your tracks with writer, publisher and other rights holder information that will also be supplied to the music supervisor during and after NARIP’s Session. You will get submission and meta-tagging guidelines, and mentoring as to how best to prepare your music for submission. DURING NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: You will get to play at least three songs (sometimes more, if time permits) for the guest music supervisor who will provide feedback to you for each one. NARIP moderator asks very specific questions to help participants learn and understand how to modify their tracks to make these more place-able for the guest supervisor’s specific needs at hand. AFTER NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: NARIP provides guest music supervisor with participant one-sheets and all music from NARIP’s Session, including notes detailing the guest music supervisor’s interest in specific tracks. If requested by guest music supervisor, NARIP conveys additional tracks, remixes, instrumentals etc. to him. If approved by guest music supervisor, NARIP provides his contact details to registrants. DON’T GET LOST IN THE CROWD: SMALL IS THE NEW BIG NARIP Sessions are deliberately kept small and intimate, which is just one reason they work so well and why participants have enjoyed over 1,000 placements to date. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees that registrants meet and get face-time with our guest. OVER 1,000 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works! NARIP Session participants have placed well over 1,000 tracks as a direct result of NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions. Other benefits include new publishing deals for NARIP members, creative collaborations and co-writes, strategic introductions to other music supervisors and placement experts, new representation for composers and much more. NARIP’S BIGGEST PLACEMENT TO DATE : VODAFONE Click here to read about NARIP’s biggest placement to date in a Vodafone campaign (Oct 2014) that paid handsomely and launched a career. Other brand placements include McDonalds and AT&T ads, among others.

2018-12-04	In LA – NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Pitch Session (The Crown, Venom, Incredibles 2): Jessica Ruoti × NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Pitch Session with Zealot’s Jessica Ruoti in Los Angeles on Tue Dec 4, 2018 Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Supervisors 1000+ Placements and 12 Signings Result From NARIP Pitch Sessions Read more here WHAT TO EXPECT AT A NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR PITCH SESSION PREPARATION IS KEY NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions are limited to an enrollment of just 16 people. About one week prior to NARIP’s Session, all registrants will get a brief of the guest supervisor’s then-CURRENT music needs. Each registrant will have a chance to pitch in response to the music briefs provided and get immediate feedback to music pitched. Each participant must submit 7 songs (MP3s only please) 36 hours prior to NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session. Please note that due to time constraints you will only be able to pitch your TOP 3 songs for consideration and immediate feedback (more, if time permits). This process takes the mystery out of why a piece of music does or doesn’t fit. On-the-spot feedback enables registrants to re-work tracks and re-submit, which creates a much higher probability to get them licensed (choose well!). If you do not have music that matches the current needs of the supervisor, fear not! You can still attend and present the top three songs in your catalog. Make sure the songs are unique and captivating. This is helpful because a music supervisor’s needs change constantly. To optimize impact of music you pitch at NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session, we highly recommend that you target the briefs. Good luck and see you there! BEFORE NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: NARIP prepares a one-sheet for each participant including your photo and bio for the guest music supervisor to use and review at the event, and to take with him after the event. We will request your photo and bio one week prior to the event. In preparing these materials, we recommend you focus on brief career highlights in your bio and have a professional photo available. Approximately 5 to 7 days prior to NARIP’s Session, you will be sent a project brief describing several cues needed for a current project(s) of our guest speaker. These often include reference songs or links so that you can hear exactly what he seeks or needs to replace. You will submit your tracks with writer, publisher and other rights holder information that will also be supplied to the music supervisor during and after NARIP’s Session. You will get submission and meta-tagging guidelines, and mentoring as to how best to prepare your music for submission. DURING NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: You will get to play at least three songs (sometimes more, if time permits) for the guest music supervisor who will provide feedback to you for each one. NARIP moderator asks very specific questions to help participants learn and understand how to modify their tracks to make these more place-able for the guest supervisor’s specific needs at hand. AFTER NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: NARIP provides guest music supervisor with participant one-sheets and all music from NARIP’s Session, including notes detailing the guest music supervisor’s interest in specific tracks. If requested by guest music supervisor, NARIP conveys additional tracks, remixes, instrumentals etc. to him. If approved by guest music supervisor, NARIP provides his contact details to registrants. DON’T GET LOST IN THE CROWD: SMALL IS THE NEW BIG NARIP Sessions are deliberately kept small and intimate, which is just one reason they work so well and why participants have enjoyed over 1,000 placements to date. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees that registrants meet and get face-time with our guest. OVER 1,000 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works! NARIP Session participants have placed well over 1,000 tracks as a direct result of NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions.

2018-10-29	FREE NARIP Webinar – Co-writing Songs: Legal & Creative Issues (Oct 29) – 1pm PST start time × TODAY: Mon Oct 29 at 1:00 pm PST FREE with RSVP RSVP NOW! Co-writing Songs: Legal & Creative Issues How To Avoid Songwriter Disputes With Dean Serwin, Esq. What happens when two or more people co-write a song? Failure to communicate clearly or agree on splits can result in disputes that are time-consuming, expensive and unnecessary. Worse, an encumbered copyright cannot be exploited. Organization and rights designation are vital to exploit and monetize copyrights, especially in light of recent changes and the adoption of the Music Modernization Act, the biggest copyright overhaul in years. Some of the most common disputes include three versions of the same question about ownership: who, what and how much: 1. Who is the author(s) and therefore an owner? 2. What did you contribute? Did you make a copyrightable contribution or were you just in the room? Did you merely suggest a tweak to what was already there (arrangement vs. songwriting)? 3. Splits: Is everyone equal or did some make a lesser or greater contribution? The answer to #2 can influence this. 4. Who will control the copyright? And, most importantly, how do I collect my money? NARIP brings you music and entertainment attorney Dean Serwin, Esq. who will discuss the most common songwriter disputes, how to avoid them and provide strategies to protect, enhance and exploit your copyrights. YOU WILL LEARN • Manage your metadata: who collects, disseminates and updates rights holder info, and how the not yet formed Mechanical License Collective comes into play? • Who should file a copyright registration for co-written song • When to file a copyright registration as a joint or individual work • Registering with PROs: who should do it and when • Self-publishing with co-writers • How to assess split percentages • Producer participation as a songwriter • Licensing: who administers and negotiates fees • What to do when you get a quote request for a co-written song • Death of co-writer: now what? • Copyright transfer • Works for hire SOURCES FOR MORE INFO deanserwin.com AUDIENCE Q&A Mr. Serwin will take audience questions during the last 20 minutes of our program be sure to tune in LIVE to get YOUR questions answered.

2018-10-24	In NY – NARIP Film & TV Music Supervisor Pitch Session (The Chi, Parts Unknown, American Pyscho): Barry Cole × NARIP Film & TV Music Supervisor Pitch Session with Spot Music’s Barry Cole in New York on Wed Oct 24, 2018 Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Supervisors ELEVEN Signings Result From NARIP Pitch Sessions Read more here WHAT TO EXPECT AT A NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR PITCH SESSION PREPARATION IS KEY NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions are limited to an enrollment of just 16 people. About one week prior to NARIP’s Session, all registrants will get a brief of the guest supervisor’s then-CURRENT music needs. Each registrant will have a chance to pitch in response to the music briefs provided and get immediate feedback to music pitched. Each participant must submit 7 songs (MP3s only please) 36 hours prior to NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session. Please note that due to time constraints you will only be able to pitch your TOP 3 songs for consideration and immediate feedback (more, if time permits). This process takes the mystery out of why a piece of music does or doesn’t fit. On-the-spot feedback enables registrants to re-work tracks and re-submit, which creates a much higher probability to get them licensed (choose well!). If you do not have music that matches the current needs of the supervisor, fear not! You can still attend and present the top three songs in your catalog. Make sure the songs are unique and captivating. This is helpful because a music supervisor’s needs change constantly. To optimize impact of music you pitch at NARIP’s Music Supervisor Session, we highly recommend that you target the briefs. Good luck and see you there! BEFORE NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: NARIP prepares a one-sheet for each participant including your photo and bio for the guest music supervisor to use and review at the event, and to take with him after the event. We will request your photo and bio one week prior to the event. In preparing these materials, we recommend you focus on brief career highlights in your bio and have a professional photo available. Approximately 5 to 7 days prior to NARIP’s Session, you will be sent a project brief describing several cues needed for a current project(s) of our guest speaker. These often include reference songs or links so that you can hear exactly what he seeks or needs to replace. You will submit your tracks with writer, publisher and other rights holder information that will also be supplied to the music supervisor during and after NARIP’s Session. You will get submission and meta-tagging guidelines, and mentoring as to how best to prepare your music for submission. DURING NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: You will get to play at least three songs (sometimes more, if time permits) for the guest music supervisor who will provide feedback to you for each one. NARIP moderator asks very specific questions to help participants learn and understand how to modify their tracks to make these more place-able for the guest supervisor’s specific needs at hand. AFTER NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: NARIP provides guest music supervisor with participant one-sheets and all music from NARIP’s Session, including notes detailing the guest music supervisor’s interest in specific tracks. If requested by guest music supervisor, NARIP conveys additional tracks, remixes, instrumentals etc. to him. If approved by guest music supervisor, NARIP provides his contact details to registrants. DON’T GET LOST IN THE CROWD: SMALL IS THE NEW BIG NARIP Sessions are deliberately kept small and intimate, which is just one reason they work so well and why participants have enjoyed over 1,000 placements to date. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees that registrants meet and get face-time with our guest. OVER 1,000 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works! NARIP Session participants have placed well over 1,000 tracks as a direct result of NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions. Other benefits include new publishing deals for NARIP members, creative collaborations and co-writes, strategic introductions to other music supervisors and placement experts, new representation for composers and much more.

2018-10-17	House Concerts & Alternate Performance Venues: More Fans, More Fun, More Money × Wed Oct 17 in Atlanta The world is a stage said Shakespeare, and today more so than ever with many spaces being converted into performance venues. These include homes, art galleries, shopping malls, retirement homes, subway stations and prisons. Many have discovered the power and intimacy of house concerts, surpassing club shows in every way: more fun, more profitable and more new fans. Fans are thrilled to learn they can bring the fun (and favorite artists) to their homes. In marketing, nothing holds more weight than a personal recommendation. And so when a house concert host handpicks a guest list of his own personal friends and then gives an artist the ultimate recommendation in front of them – a group of highly targeted potential fans – that’s valuable. House concerts can be billed as networking events the host and existing fans hold to introduce you and your music to THEIR friends. Likewise, art galleries create a beautiful alternate environment, and many artists have created meaningful engagement performing at malls, retirement homes and prisons. Join NARIP and special guests at this program to learn how to plan and execute a successful house concert and alternate venues tour. YOU WILL LEARN For whom can house concerts or alternate venues work? Benefits: direct-to-fan, hyperlocalism, growing superfans Elements of a successful house concert Finding the right host, helping host plan successful house concert The space: do’s and don’ts, how to focus audience, maximize intimacy and connectivity The guests Set-up and flow: how to pace the evening Donations: how to work with host for financially successful event How to sell stuff: create awareness, be effective, make more money Post show Tour routing: strategies for a well-structured tour Don’t miss this insider’s peek at this innovative way to perform and tour!

Juliett Rowe, Head of Marketing & Promotion, Blood Drunk Records; Founder, Atlanta Record Label Fest; NARIP Board Member Juliett Rowe has spent her career working with indie and DIY musicians, whether writing about unknown artists for print, helping artists make strategic decisions regarding their art, or taking late night calls to offer words of encouragement. In 2013, she became head of marketing and promotions for Atlanta indie record label Blood Drunk Records. With ten bands on its roster in various stages of recording and touring, Juliett developed album release plans, secured tour press, and elevated the label to become one of the strongest indie record labels in Atlanta. She realized that many people in the DIY music scene often went unnoticed and unrecognized for their hard work supporting artists, causing her to create the Atlanta Record Label Fest in 2015. The event showcases people behind the scenes and serves indie record labels by creating an opportunity for networking and building community. It also serves fans with cutting-edge musical artists, bridging gaps between genres and sub-cultures. Its first year, the Atlanta Record Label Fest drew hundreds of people and brought together record labels and music fans. The second year (2016) saw the event expanded to two days and included indie record labels from across the state of Georgia. In 2017 Juliett expanded her artist management and consulting business for independent and DIY artists with Panther Creek Artist Management. She also started working with Atlanta independent record label Madison Records (Orchard/Sony) on digital marketing and project management initiatives. Juliett has combined her love of music and technology as a Co-Founder and Head of Client Relationships and Marketing with Bandskor, which is building a dashboard to help talent buyers manage and analyze band submissions. Juliett is active not only in the Atlanta music scene, but also with organizations like National Association of Record Industry Professionals (NARIP.com) and the Atlanta Chapter of the Recording Academy. She understands the need for education, networking, and supporting fellow friends and artists. You can often find her at a show, or hanging out with bands waxing poetic on the value of having a Web site and an email list. NARIP. Career acceleration. Get connected.

ELEVEN Signings Result From NARIP Pitch Sessions Read more here A NARIP Series: Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Synch Agents Is your music getting to decision-makers – people who can say YES and write a check? The Synch Agents* featured in NARIP Pitch Sessions are among the top sales and marketing executives who actively place music owned by songwriters, composers and independent music publishers. Many music buyers – directors, producers and music supervisors – name these Synch Agents as among their go-to music providers. These Agents, who NARIP has researched and interviewed, have placed thousands of songs in blockbuster films, hit television shows, trailers, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and video games. At NARIP’s intimate sessions, you get to meet and pitch Synch Agents for current placement opportunities and representation, and get immediate feedback. Come meet these career-makers. BACKGROUND Since 2011, NARIP Music Supervisor Pitch Sessions have secured over 1,000 placements in blockbuster films, hit television series, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and trailers for NARIP members. NARIP members have also secured publishing deals and formed creative collaborations too numerous to mention as a direct result of these NARIP’s Sessions. Topics Access multiple potential buyers and placements Trends in synch licensing and agent deals Exclusive, non-exclusive, single-song deals Budgets and fee ranges Royalties, copyright ownership, rights retention Fees and deal points between synch agents and their clients Which synch agents seek a transfer of copyright(s) for their services, and under what circumstances Song re-titling Small, focused NARIP Sessions enable one-on-one time and immediate direct feedback to music presented by participants. At hundreds of NARIP Sessions, we asked every guest music supervisor how to better market music to them. Their one consistent piece of advice? Get representation! At NARIP Synch Agent Pitch Sessions, limited to 16 people, you get to know the synch agents and they to get to know you. Most important, attendees meet these key players, paving the way for possible representation and ongoing opportunities, and giving them an edge in a competitive market. * Synch Agent: A synchronization or “synch” agent represents music copyrights – either the composition, the sound recordings, or both. They pitch music to buyers and their representatives, including to music supervisors. Synch agents are typically compensated on a commission basis and do not own or control the copyrights they represent. While synch agents usually focus on entertainment and media exploitations, traditional songplugger services also include placement of represented songs with recording artists. What is a Synch Agent (and WHY you need one)? View video (:60 seconds) WHAT TO EXPECT AT A NARIP SYNCH AGENT PITCH SESSION: PREPARATION IS KEY As with NARIP Music Supervisor Pitch Sessions, NARIP’s Synch Agent Pitch Sessions are limited to an enrollment of just 16 people. About one week prior to NARIP’s Session, all registrants will get a brief of the guest’s then-CURRENT music needs. Each registrant will have a chance to pitch in response to the music briefs provided and get immediate feedback to music pitched. Each participant must submit 7 songs (MP3s only please) 36 hours prior to NARIP’s Synch Agent Pitch Session. Please note that due to time constraints you will only be able to pitch your TOP 3 songs for consideration and immediate feedback (more, if time permits). This process takes the mystery out of why a piece of music does or doesn’t fit. On-the-spot feedback enables registrants to re-work tracks and re-submit, which creates a much higher probability to get them licensed (choose well!). If you do not have music that matches the current needs of the guest, fear not! You can still attend and present the top three songs in your catalog. Make sure the songs are unique and captivating. This is helpful because a music supervisor’s needs change constantly. To optimize impact of music you pitch at NARIP’s Synch Agent Session, we highly recommend that you target the briefs. In addition to pitching for current placement opportunities, NARIP’s guest Synch Agents will consider music pitched for representation. Good luck and see you there! BEFORE NARIP’S SYNCH AGENT PITCH SESSION: NARIP prepares a one-sheet for each participant including your photo and bio for the guest to use and review at the event, and to take with him after the event. We will request your photo and bio one week prior to the event. In preparing these materials, we recommend you focus on brief career highlights in your bio and have a professional photo available. Approximately 5 to 7 days prior to NARIP’s Session, you will be sent a project brief describing several cues needed for a current project(s) of our guest speaker. These often include reference songs or links so that you can hear exactly what he seeks or needs to replace. You will submit your tracks with writer, publisher and other rights holder information that will also be supplied to the music supervisor during and after NARIP’s Session. You will get submission and meta-tagging guidelines, and mentoring as to how best to prepare your music for submission. DURING NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: You will get to play at least three songs (sometimes more, if time permits) for the guest music supervisor who will provide feedback to you for each one. NARIP moderator asks very specific questions to help participants learn and understand how to modify their tracks to make these more place-able for the guest supervisor’s specific needs at hand. AFTER NARIP’S PITCH SESSION: NARIP provides guest music supervisor with participant one-sheets and all music from NARIP’s Session, including notes detailing the guest music supervisor’s interest in specific tracks. If requested by guest music supervisor, NARIP conveys additional tracks, remixes, instrumentals etc. to him. If approved by guest music supervisor, NARIP provides his contact details to registrants. DON’T GET LOST IN THE CROWD: SMALL IS THE NEW BIG NARIP Sessions are deliberately kept small and intimate, which is just one reason they work so well and why participants have enjoyed over 1,000 placements to date. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees that registrants meet and get face-time with our guest. OVER 1,000 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works! NARIP Session participants have placed over 1,000 tracks as a direct result of NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions.
