Read more here. A NARIP Series: Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Buyers including Music Supervisors, A&R Executives, Synch Agents & Grammy-winning Music Producers Is your music getting to decision-makers? 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 2,000 placements in blockbuster films, hit television series, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and major studio trailers for NARIP members. Since inception of NARIP’s Synch Agent Pitch Sessions in 2018, twenty (20) NARIP members have signed representation or music publishing deals as a direct result with more in the works now. Other outcomes include collaborations, co-writing, producing and commissioned work. At NARIP’s Synch Agent Pitch Session: Meet top synch agent Stacee Coleman, a repeat NARIP guest, who has signed and worked with NARIP Members Intimate event with top synch agent: enrollment limited to 16 people No cattle calls, no 300-person crowds or conferences, no velvet ropes Get brief in advance to prepare your best pitch Direct access + firsthand info = better results FOR YOU Access multiple potential buyers and placements via ONE synch agent Get professional representation Topics: Trends in synch licensing and agent deals Exclusive, non-exclusive, single-song deals Budgets and fee ranges Copyright ownership, rights retention, song re-titling Fees between synch agents and their clients Which synch agents seek a transfer of copyright(s) for their services, and under what circumstances 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 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 may submit up to five (5) 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 (or synch agent) 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 2,000 placements and 22 representation signings to date. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees that registrants meet and get face-time with our guest. OVER 2,000 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works!

About Danny Benair, Natural Energy Lab Before starting Natural Energy Lab, Danny served 8 years (1991-1999) as the Vice President of the Film & Television Department at Polygram Music Publishing. His division continuously exceeded revenue expectations while building a highly respected reputation amongst artists and bands. Danny was responsible for signing the following acts at Polygram Publishing: Tracy Bonham, Redd Kross, Honeydogs, The Tindersticks and Gigolo Aunts. Danny was responsible for The Cardigans writing Lovefool for Baz Luhrman’s Romeo and Juliet, as well as having Adam Schlesinger write the Academy Award nominated “That Thing You Do” for the Tom Hanks’ motion picture. Before his tenure at Polygram, Benair was a member of the Los Angeles based band The Three O’Clock. Danny previously played in the Weirdo’s and The Quick, to name a few. Natural Energy Lab is a Los Angeles based music marketing company, which specializes in film, television & commercial placement. Run by former music publishing exec Danny Benair, Natural Energy Lab offers the personal attention that is rarely found in an increasingly taxed business. When Natural Energy Lab was formed the idea to represent labels and artists was new. Barely anyone understood the concept. Today it seems like anyone and everyone is taking a stab at it. Which means even more than ever a trusted company like Natural Energy Lab that has been road tested and not out to rip off the artist has a very vital place in the entertainment business. Traditionally, artists and songwriters have created successful careers via music publishing, as publishers place their material in TV, films and commercials. While artists may never recoup the promotional costs spent on marketing their music, their publishing becomes a lucrative alternative. However, recent history is one of acquisitions and downsizing of labels and publishing companies into corporate behemoths. While this results in the creation of voluminous catalogs, artists and songwriters no longer receive the type of attention to which they’ve grown accustomed. This current climate has allowed Benair to create an independent music marketing company, operating outside the corporate vacuum. The team at Natural Energy Lab gives personal attention to their entire roster, representing music masters and song copyrights for placement in feature films, television shows, video games, movie trailers, advertising campaigns and television commercials. In eleven years, Natural Energy Lab has procured music placements resulting in millions of dollars in licenses for their clients. NEL represents hundreds of bands and artists and the referrals continue to amass. Natural Energy Lab has been hired by agencies such as TBWA/Chiat/Day to help them find the right fit for corporate clients, including Apple Computer and XM Satellite Radio among others. In the last few months alone, NEL has landed several national television commercials and feature films: Dr. Pepper: The 88 “Do You Believe In Love” Papa John’s Pizza: Big Papa and The TCB “Go Big Papa” Radio Shack commercial with Lance Armstrong: Radio Moscow “Broke Down” FindaProperty commercial: The 88 “Coming Home” The Simpsons: Emerson Lake and Palmer “Lucky Man” Nissan Car Commercial: Embrace “Celebrate” Grey’s Anatomy: Total Babe “Shape Up” Grey’s Anatomy: Patrick Park “How The Heart Grows Wicked” Private Practice: Titiyo “X” TESTIMONIALS Click here to read what people say about NARIP’s Music Supervisor Sessions.

2021-07-21	NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Pitch Session (Love Death + Robots Vol. 2, The Underground Railroad, Made For Love): Chase Casanova × NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Pitch Session with Mark Woollen & Associates’ Chase Casanova Wed Jul 21, 2021 \|\| 7pm PST Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Supervisors NARIP Pitch Sessions and all NARIP events will be online only for the foreseeable future using Zoom. Download a free copy at https://zoom.us to join this and future pitch sessions. Recommended: perform an audio and video test (built into the software) and/or with a friend. Headphones required. Over 2,000 Placements PLUS 32 Signings Result From NARIP Pitch Sessions A NARIP Series: Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Buyers including Music Supervisors, A&R Executives, Synch Agents & Music Producers Is your music getting to decision-makers? At NARIP’s intimate sessions, you get to meet music buyers including A&R executives, music supervisors, synch agents and music producers and pitch for current placement opportunities, representation, and projects, and get immediate feedback. BACKGROUND Since 2011, NARIP Music Supervisor Pitch Sessions have secured over 2,000 placements in blockbuster films, hit television series, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and major studio trailers for NARIP members. Since inception of NARIP’s Synch Agent Pitch Sessions in 2018, thirty-two (32) NARIP members have signed representation or music publishing deals as a direct result with more in the works now. Other outcomes include collaborations, co-writing, producing and commissioned work. Topics at this NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Pitch Session: Meet trailer music supervisor Chase Casanova who places music in trailers for hit television shows, blockbuster films and global brands. Pitch songs directly to Chase for his priority and upcoming projects. He seeks new and untapped talent to elevate projects he works on. Learn how to get placed directly from the buyer, hear what works and what doesn’t. Direct access + firsthand info = better results FOR YOU. Small, focused NARIP Sessions enable one-on-one time and immediate direct feedback to music presented by participants. At NARIP Pitch Sessions, limited to 16 people, you get to know the guest music supervisor, synch agent or producer, and they to get to know you. NOTE: Out session with Jordan Silverberg will be 2 hours only (most NARIP Pitch Sessions are 3 hours), therefore we will limit enrollment to fewer participants. Most important, attendees meet these key players, paving the way for placement, representation, collaboration and ongoing opportunities, and giving them an edge in a competitive market. 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 5 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 2,000 placements to date.

About Lana Bui, Freelance Trailer Music Supervisor Lana Bui is a proud first-generation Vietnamese American, born and raised in Winter Park, FL. Her love of music began at age 4 years when she performed on stage with her father singing Vietnamese folk songs. At 7 years, she took up the violin in school, taking private lessons, and participating in youth and school orchestras. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Music Business, she moved to Los Angeles, CA to become a music supervisor. Through hard work, perseverance, and a bit of cosmic luck, Lana landed her first supervision gig at Aspect, a trailer house in North Hollywood. She then moved to Wild Card Creative Group where she has placed music for projects such as Dune, Ad Astra, Suicide Squad, Extraction, and Little Fires Everywhere. When Lana isn’t working, she enjoys time spent outside with her pit bull Rufio (below) and catching up over iced coffee with friends.

2021-05-05	NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Pitch Session (Dune, Godzilla vs. Kong, Black Widow, Deadpool 2): Evelin Garcia × NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Pitch Session with Wild Card AV’s Evelin Garcia NEW DATE: Wed May 5, 2021 \|\| 7pm PST Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Supervisors NARIP Pitch Sessions and all NARIP events will be online only for the foreseeable future using Zoom. Download a free copy at https://zoom.us to join this and future pitch sessions. Recommended: perform an audio and video test (built into the software) and/or with a friend. Headphones required. Over 2,000 Placements PLUS 32 Signings Result From NARIP Pitch Sessions A NARIP Series: Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Buyers including Music Supervisors, A&R Executives, Synch Agents & Music Producers Is your music getting to decision-makers? At NARIP’s intimate sessions, you get to meet music buyers including A&R executives, music supervisors, synch agents and music producers and pitch for current placement opportunities, representation, and projects, and get immediate feedback. BACKGROUND Since 2011, NARIP Music Supervisor Pitch Sessions have secured over 2,000 placements in blockbuster films, hit television series, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and major studio trailers for NARIP members. Since inception of NARIP’s Synch Agent Pitch Sessions in 2018, thirty-two (32) NARIP members have signed representation or music publishing deals as a direct result with more in the works now. Other outcomes include collaborations, co-writing, producing and commissioned work. Topics at this NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Pitch Session: Meet top trailer music supervisor Evelin Garcia who places music in trailers for hit television shows, blockbuster films and global brands. Pitch songs directly to Evelin for her priority and upcoming projects. She seeks new and untapped talent to elevate projects she works on. Learn how to get placed directly from the buyer, hear what works and what doesn’t. Direct access + firsthand info = better results FOR YOU. Small, focused NARIP Sessions enable one-on-one time and immediate direct feedback to music presented by participants. At NARIP Pitch Sessions, limited to 16 people, you get to know the guest music supervisor, synch agent or producer, and they to get to know you. NOTE: Out session with Jordan Silverberg will be 2 hours only (most NARIP Pitch Sessions are 3 hours), therefore we will limit enrollment to fewer participants. Most important, attendees meet these key players, paving the way for placement, representation, collaboration and ongoing opportunities, and giving them an edge in a competitive market. 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 5 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 2,000 placements to date. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees that registrants meet and get face-time with our guest. OVER 2,000 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works! NARIP Session participants have placed over 2,000 tracks as a direct result of NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions.

BACKGROUND Since 2011, NARIP Music Supervisor Pitch Sessions have secured over 2,000 placements in blockbuster films, hit television series, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and major studio trailers for NARIP members. Since inception of NARIP’s Synch Agent Pitch Sessions in 2018, thirty (30) NARIP members have signed representation or music publishing deals as a direct result with more in the works now. Other outcomes include collaborations, co-writing, producing and commissioned work. Topics at this NARIP Advertising Music Supervisor Pitch Session: Meet top games music supervisor Sergio Pimentel who places music in games Pitch songs directly to Sergio for his priority & upcoming projects He seeks new and untapped talent to elevate projects he works on, including several new (unannounced) game projects Learn how to get placed directly from the buyer, hear what works and what doesn’t Direct access + firsthand info = better results FOR YOU Small, focused NARIP Sessions enable one-on-one time and immediate direct feedback to music presented by participants. At NARIP Pitch Sessions, limited to 16 people, you get to know the guest music supervisor, synch agent or producer, and they to get to know you. NOTE: Out session with Jordan Silverberg will be 2 hours only (most NARIP Pitch Sessions are 3 hours), therefore we will limit enrollment to fewer participants. Most important, attendees meet these key players, paving the way for placement, representation, collaboration and ongoing opportunities, and giving them an edge in a competitive market. 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 5 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 2,000 placements to date. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees that registrants meet and get face-time with our guest. OVER 2,000 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works!

Download a free copy at https://zoom.us to join this and future pitch sessions. Recommended: perform an audio and video test (built into the software) and/or with a friend. Headphones required. Over 2,000 Placements PLUS 30 Signings Result From NARIP Pitch Sessions A NARIP Series: Intimate Pitch Meetings with Top Music Buyers including Music Supervisors, A&R Executives, Synch Agents & Music Producers Is your music getting to decision-makers? At NARIP’s intimate sessions, you get to meet music buyers including A&R executives, music supervisors, synch agents and music producers and pitch for current placement opportunities, representation, and projects, and get immediate feedback. BACKGROUND Since 2011, NARIP Music Supervisor Pitch Sessions have secured over 2,000 placements in blockbuster films, hit television series, global promotion and advertising campaigns, and major studio trailers for NARIP members. Since inception of NARIP’s Synch Agent Pitch Sessions in 2018, thirty (30) NARIP members have signed representation or music publishing deals as a direct result with more in the works now. Other outcomes include collaborations, co-writing, producing and commissioned work. Topics at this NARIP Advertising Music Supervisor Pitch Session: Meet top film TV music supervisor Laura Webb who places music in popular episodic television shows and blockbuster filmes Pitch songs directly to Laura for her priority & upcoming projects Laura looks for new and untapped talent to elevate shows she works on Learn how to get placed directly from the buyer, hear what works and what doesn’t Direct access + firsthand info = better results FOR YOU Small, focused NARIP Sessions enable one-on-one time and immediate direct feedback to music presented by participants. At NARIP Pitch Sessions, limited to 16 people, you get to know the guest music supervisor, synch agent or producer, and they to get to know you. Most important, attendees meet these key players, paving the way for placement, representation, collaboration and ongoing opportunities, and giving them an edge in a competitive market. 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 5 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 2,000 placements to date. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees that registrants meet and get face-time with our guest. OVER 2,000 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works! NARIP Session participants have placed over 2,000 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.
