Hello Naydivz,
I did a new evaluation for you just now. I checked out the first three songs I saw in your EPK. So the feedback is based on that material as a body of work.
After I respond to an artist, I usually save my notes for two or three weeks,
in case they contact me to discuss their project further. Once that window
of time goes by, I discard the paperwork to make room in the file.
Please scroll down for the evaluation and additional information about
my company.
Thanks again for getting back to me today.
Eugene

Thanks for submitting the material for the evaluation.
I enjoyed listening to the songs.
To give you insight to the scoring scale above, the majority
of artists score in the 2.5 to 3.5 range in the various categories.
Whenever an artist sees a 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 or 3.5 as a score in a certain
category (or categories) it means that's an area I feel they need to improve
and develop.
When someone sees 4, 4.5 or 5 as their score in a category,
that tells them, to me, they are in the professional league
and have strong potential. It's a validation from a pro, letting you
know you are doing a fine job.
Every artist should work hard to earn 4.5 to 5 in every category.
It's a very competitive business and people averaging in the 3's
(or less) will probably not get too far without a great deal of
improvement and development.
I don't give out 4's and 5's easily, so any of those you see, you have
earned. Well done!
One thing to keep in mind, at least for your songs designated
as "Singles" (the songs geared towards winning over radio
stations and record company executives) - try to keep Intros
to under 10 seconds and try to reach the Chorus between the
40 and 43 second mark.
If it's 44 seconds or longer and the Chorus did not kick in yet,
you should edit the song's arrangement accordingly.
In rap music, the chorus can come in at the 55 to 58 second mark or so,
since the verses are traditionally longer, compared to pop and rock
music.
For a free resource of helpful information, I encourage you to visit the "Press & Media"
section of my Web site, www.FoleyEntertainment.com
You will see links to four television interviews that are filled with advice and tips
that may be of help to you.
If you are trying to gain the attention of record companies, make sure your
game plan includes radio promotion, publicity, lots of gigs, Internet marketing
and CD sales, at the minimum.
Just having a great CD and live show is no longer enough in today's music business.
For information about my popular and career enhancing Artist Development Program.
With a New Year now underway, perhaps your career would benefit from an
educational phone consultation with an experienced and respected professional.
It's a great time to start mapping out your 2007 game plan, having your industry questions answered and building your Team.
The brochure also discusses our other professional services and gives background information about Foley Entertainment as well. Just let me know if you'd like a copy.
Thank you Naydivz and continued best wishes!
Keep me posted on your project.
