Not a film composer? That's ok, TV and film still need you!

http://www.taxi.com/ is an awesome service for songwriters, bands and producers looking to get their music placed in TV and film.


Let me quickly explain how it works...

1)You join Taxi for a yearly fee (a few hundred bucks)

2)Taxi sends you a listing (updated regularly) of requests for music. These requests come from labels, production studios, television and film studios.

3) Hey, look! There's a listing that's looking for my type of music (jungle-afrobeat-disco). It's for a new Discovery Channel show next fall.

4)You send along an mp3 or cd to Taxi, with a $5 submission fee.

5)Taxi listens to the submission and decides if it fits the descprition. It gets the thumbs up (it's forwarded), or thumbs down (better luck next time, buddy) and you receive a critique of your track.
6)If the company that requested the submission likes your track, they contact you and discuss particulars. Yay!

Persistence is the magic word. You might have 10 tracks forwarded without hitting the jackpot, but it's better than not having any tracks listened to.

Here are links to ten TAXI videos that discuss getting your music heard.
