What are folks' opinions regarding how "professional" the demo should be in order to be noticed/considered by a publisher ?</font>



Excellent Question

It is written that music industry professional person(s) can hear a demo and no matter how [raw] or [super-slick] the production be able to determine if it is usable/desireable or not...

A super-slick produced demo may even dishearten/frustrate a pro-singer that can not make a better presentation of it for release...just a thought anyway

Whenever I listen to demos I prefer anything from an okay radio release or better... translated- it is overall fatiguing to listen to demos... if the vocalist is grating my nerves for 3 to 4 minutes it is possible for my mind not to recognize a song with potential... return it, file it, trash it, forget about it... [pass on it]

Truth is I like a lyric sheet to brief also... big personal pet peeve- not being able to clearly hear/understand the words

Hope this info helps in someway shape or form...
