<p>How fun angst! Congrats to her!</p>
<p>I have gotten so many emails from all of you that I thought I would give a quick update on D.
As I mentioned we put her songs on an internet site that has 600,000 members and were tickled when she won for best female vocals, best dance track etc for one of her songs.
We also got feedback and realize that she needs more POP in her voice ..many folks commented that her voice was MT sounding or classical on one of the tunes.
So before we send it out, we realize we need to get a POP edge to her sound.
So thats next ...</p>
<p>Update on daughter!</p>
<p>We were surprised to discover today that one of her songs "Remember Me" is ranked #1 on the charts at the Industryresource website. We didnt know it was being entered into a contest..just put it there to see if we wanted to submit it to their listings (so far we havent)</p>
<p>Also I mentioned earlier that her one song won best female vocals on another site one week. They pick 3 songs. The next week both of her songs listed there won for best female vocals - It was very cool they would both be picked the same week considering they have so many songs on there.</p>
<p>She was contacted by several songwriters who wanted to collaborate with her on songs..She listened to all of them and found one whose work she loves so they are going to work together on another demo. (We have not sent the other one out as we feel it needs a poppier edge)
She is also working with a coach in CA to give her voice more of a pop edge and WOW! great results fast!</p>
<p>Meantime she is working on Working at school and has some other things coming up. So she hopes to have another demo ready within the next few months.</p>
<p>You must all be on cloud 9! Congrats!</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Thanks all..</p>
<p>We are tickled that the song she sang for the producer "Remember Me" is still #1 at the Industryresource site. Someone who heard her songs on another music site contacted her and now her songs are being played on their radio station.</p>
<p>She has not sent the songs out anywhere besides the two music sites except to one listing on TAXI. Taxi is a musicians referral service. They gave her very high marks on the two songs she submitted, including a 10 on vocals but said the song was not right for that listing. They said her sound was more like Kelly Clarkson than Pink or Gwen Stefani..and for that listing they were looking for the Pink sound......interesting feedback. </p>
<p>We feel her demo is a great start but she wants to work on a "poppier" edge before we send it out to managers etc. The music sites have given us good ideas on the songs and how she can improve them. </p>
<p>She has been working with a vocal coach from CA and she just started collaborating with another musician, (who works a lot faster than the producer she works with) He also has a songwriter he works with who is helping her develop lyrics and he is creating the music with her input. </p>
<p>We bought some equipment to vastly improve the quality of the recordings she can make at home ..so she can send high quality files and she can also produce her own recordings..there is going to be a learning curve here..but we found someone who is excited about her vocals and is going to teach her how to use this. </p>
<p>She hope to have a new demo out in the next few months.</p>
<p>Will keep you posted!</p>
