the big dfference between you or i sending the emails ourselves is, if she is in music promotion and is already known by the radio stations and magazines etc, then her mails are less likely to end up deleted without being read.Tricky-Loops wrote:As I've said, there was an advertisement video (called "interview") with a young pretty woman who made music promotion and for their PAID "service" musicians had to write their texts and post everything on her homepage themselves and she would send these infos to radios etc. And I said "If I have to write all my texts, emails and bio etc. myself, then I can SEND the emails myself, too" and wrote a critical comment which was deleted instantly because he didn't wanted to have bad press about this woman.chk071 wrote:Alternatively the guy could pay the production of his videos, the server costs, and the guys doing tutorials from him out of his own pocket, just for our entertainment.Tricky-Loops wrote:Hopefully it won't be as bad as Musotalk which is all about paid (!) advertisement videos for products and rarely has useful how-to videos.Apart from that, the guy is actually FROM the industry, afaik he used to work for Steinberg and Waldorf. Oh, and the Cubase tutorials from Holger Steinbrink are absolutely top notch btw. No wonder, as he's doing Cubase workshops for a living. And again, the guy is doing those workshops on Musotalk for free, of course advertising for his paid workshop DVD's and his site, and of course that way advertising Cubase. And that's all the magic really. I can't see anything bad in it. I don't rely 100% on a review in Computer Music or Beat mag also, as i know it's a hand in hand of the press and the industry if you want so. Most of the shows on Musotalk are really entertaining and informative imo.
That's why I broke with Hans-Jörg Bordin alias "Non Eric"... Either something is clearly labeled as advertisement or as interview - but to sell an advertisement as "interview" is fraud.
although if she sstarts sending off every mail that she is paid to send she may find herself ending up in the delete folder quite quickly. as a promoter she should only be promoting acts she beleives have a chance of doing well in whatever area she is mailing to.
I wouldn't worry much about it. You may ask yourself WHO you want to reach; talking English you'll reach more people while talking in German the "horizon" is much shorter. On the other hand speaking your native tongue makes you more authentic, not acting like an actor.
