The Autumn Agency

11/11/2024

We've had the opportunity for the last year and a half to really dig in to where we best fit and where our passions assist others. We started strongly in social media and digital marketing but by the end of last year, we found ourselves being pulled more in consulting and website needs which has been so exciting for us!

So it pleases us to announce the 2025 revision of The Autumn Agency where we focus more on consulting and helping artists as well as small businesses connect with the proper channels in their respective industriesto help achieve their greatest potential! We'll still offer social media and digital marketing, but it won't be our fullest focus as it was in the beginning.

It's going to look different.
It's going to feel different.
It's going to be valuable.
It's going to set us apart.

Stay with us as we beging to slowly roll out a few of our changes on social media and our website. By 2025, we'll be refreshed, rebranded, revised!
..and competitively affordable.

🎤 In my 30+ years as a professional vocalist, these have been some of the most important lessons I've had to learn in my time. They're very basic, but they're promising in terms of career-longevity! 🎤

1. Volume doesn't constitute "a better singer".
2. A wider vocal range, though impressive, doesn't necessarily deem you as "more talented".
3. No one is beyond warmups.
4. A beautiful voice without "ever taking voice lessons" is not a bragging right, but often a recipe for vocal disaster because you're possibly singing incorrectly. Bad habits have a way of catching up to us eventually.
5. Let the microphone do its job.
6. Let sound engineers do their jobs.
7. Make certain that your monitor needs are met. A bad monitor mix can lead to future vocal issues because you can't hear yourself.
8. Don't compare your vocals to another vocalist. You're not in competition, you're just different.
9. Just because a vocalist sings one predominant genre of music doesn't mean they can't sing multiple other genres. There are many female rock vocalists that are classically trained.
10. Honing in on your own natural style will take you far.
11. If you can't sing a cover song in its original key, change it. Rarely will your audience notice, but they WILL notice when it's pitchy or when you're straining.
12. You are replaceable, but your professionalism and attitude can keep you in demand!

I believe every musician should have the opportunity and experience to record in a legitimate studio setting... at least once in their life... without going broke.

That's why my agency partnered with an EXTREMELY AFORDABLE studio located in the heart of the beautiful Sequatchie Valley.

I'm so excited to share this opportunity with all my musical friends & THEIR friends... and their friends' friends.

If you're simply looking for basic studio time, this is it! If you're looking for a full blown skilled & experienced team to engineer, produce, mix/master, design, play on your album... I have affordable packages for that as well.

I wish I had this available to ME when I needed it for demos, EPs, LPs, and EPKs in my younger years. Thank goodness I'm not old yet and I get to use this partnership now! 😉

And that's why I created my agency. Because as a career musician of over 30 years, I understand the struggle as well as the need (have experienced it first hand) and my goal is to relieve other talented musicians of that same struggle! I truly want to HELP and nurture the independent music industry. That has become my purpose.

Wanna know more? I'd love to tell you and HELP you! Let's talk!
