How do I place my music in television & film? Chances are if you landed on this page, you’re an independent artist or band that's asking themselves that very question. However, the better question to be asking is, “How can I place my music in television & film and still have time to focus on making new music?” This book reveals a strategic method to obtain the contact information of music supervisors and turn it into an automated machine that will find you their latest projects. Once setup, the system alerts you when it's the optimal time to contact them! The best part is this can all be done entirely by yourself. In this streaming era (Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu, etc.) where there is more content than ever being produced, sync licensing can be a massive revenue stream and independent musicians are in demand more than ever! To put this into a better context, a $5,000 sync license for a single song will earn more revenue than over one million streams of a hit song on Spotify. Are you ready to get started now?

"Thinking In Sync" is the perfect starting point for any artist interested in learning more about the world of synchronization. With this book, Thomas aims not only to provide answers for many of the questions music supervisors are most often asked, but also the reasons behind those answers. Readers will walk away with the following:

• Insight as to how music supervisors review music submissions from potential new contacts, how they select who receives a "music brief" or "music search," as well as the day to day pressures and responsibilities of their role in the larger film and television creation process and how these affect artists.
• A detailed overview of every step of the song clearance process from quote request to confirmation letter to music cue sheet, and why each is so important.
• Essential conversations to have, creative approaches to consider and materials to assemble before, during and after a song is recorded in order to best position your music for sync.
• Resources and strategies to evaluate the most effective people to send your music to (it's not always music supervisors) and how to stand out in a good way.
• Specific approaches to consider when assembling your pitch, from professional etiquette and common industry faux pas to preferred submission methods.
