WELCOME TO SCOREcastOnline.com!
What’s up, everybody!

My big audacious goal was to stay up last night to watch this happen in real time, but I fell asleep like a loser and just didn’t have the stamina to hang in and watch it all unfold. p

This is a day that I’ve been waiting for for about three years – the day that SCOREcast grows up, takes the gloves off, puts its big-boy pants on and gets serious about mentoring, coaching, and helping people navigate through the jungle of the film music business.

This launch has not been without its obstacles, pratfalls, and perils – most of them technical, of course – as we’ve tried to figure out the best way to bring you all the content you want and have come to expect from the SCOREcast podcasts over the years. But the biggest challenge was not technical at all. In all honesty, my biggest fear was that some of you might be thinking what I would be thinking if I were you: “Oh great! Another film music site that is going to over-promise and under-deliver. Another site that is going to tell me how much they can help me if I sign up for their membership, download their guide, and attend their seminar.”

Well… no. Actually, not at all. When we started broadcasting podcast episodes in October of 2006, I promised myself that if we ever made it difficult for people to get into the film music world by making them jump through a bunch of hoops to get to our content, then we have failed at our objectives. I’ve said it before on the podcast, and I’ll say it again here: There has never been a better time for you to launch your career in film music, and SCOREcast is a tool for you to use to accomplish that goal. Pure and simple. No strings attached. Besides, the best things in life are still free, baby!

But in all seriousness, that IS the essence of SCOREcast: Helping you launch and maintain a healthy, lasting, and fruitful film music career. Here you will find seasoned mentors as well as people who have never written a note. Here you will find people who are interested in sharing with you the TRUTH about how they got into this business, as well as people who will share with you the TRUTH about why they never quite made it. Here you will find those who are not afraid to talk to you about what you should be doing, as well as those who will tell you what you are doing right.

We’ve all been there. Everyone started somewhere. Whether we were assistants to composers or scoring student films for pizza and beer, we’ve all been at the crossroads of not knowing where to go next to get to the next level in our careers. So, this is where all of that wondering and not knowing can change for you as you peel back the onion that is this business.

My advice? Get involved here at SCOREcastOnline.com. Login for free (!!!) and get to know some folks. There are thousands of people here that listen to our podcasts every month that are in the same boat you are in, and there are just as many that have achieved in this business what you desire to achieve in your own career. So why reinvent the wheel? Find those people – they love to talk about this stuff – and get to know them. The new way of the world is “access”. Use it that opportunity here at SCOREcastOnline.com and be enriched by it.

As SCOREcast launches into this new era, come on the ride with us. I promise it will be worth the adventure!
