Sorry. Still waiting for my sheet music to arrive from the U.S. Copyright Office. When I retrieve these 5 beautiful original Christmas songs, my wife and I will make demos of all 5 songs. Our PRO will be listed under BMI. Any singer who wants to audition (no payment for auditioning) (with expected royalties (if you are accepted as a singer) will be anywhere from 20% / 25% / 30% from royalties I'll receive quarterly from BMI. Since these are Christmas songs, there probably will only be one royalty check to you in perhaps January - so don't expect to make money from this until perhaps January of next year, and every successive January thereafter, but hopefully these will be huge checks! (And/or also possible other royalties from other marketing ideas). I am looking for singers who are world-class quality, because these are really beautiful songs and within 5 years they should become standards around the world! I am also looking for people who aren't afraid to perform live, perhaps in Christmas concerts; as well as looking forward to singing live on TV programs, such as The Tonight Show, etc.
You may send your initial voice audition song here in order for me to test your voice quality. Good voice audition songs might be: Jingle Bell Rock / Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas / It's Beginning To Look A lot Like Christmas / Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree / Chestnuts Roasting On The Open Fire (aka The Christmas Song) - Choose one or more of these for your initial voice audition .. (To protect yourself, please do not record the entire song. Just half the song is okay. Make sure I have contact info for you!)
Before I have contracted with you, I will send you demos for all 5 of our beautiful and original Christmas songs for you to upload your version of any or all five of our songs. Again you will use the WeTransfer.com or any transfer of your choice. (For your protection, please only sing 2/3rds of any of the 5 songs you wish to submit.) If I choose you for any role, (I will not only strive for a single singer but also for duets and choirs and also for single line singing (meaning someone else sings most of the song, but you might sing one or two special lines to give the song some variety or contrast - in which case you will earn a 5% royalty while the main singer earns a 20% royalty or more) (and duets earn 20% royalties each) (choirs will be probably 5% to 10% per person) etc. I will send a contract to you and we will meet in front of a Notary Public for both of us to sign our contracts with each other before we actually record at my Music Recorder's studio; so don't sign the contract sent to you until we meet in front of an N.P.
