In this episode we're walking on the razor's edge, addressing some touchy subjects that we all face on a regular basic. Whether it's the right amount of self-promotion, dealing with NDAs, or taking notes without taking offense, there are myriad scenarios to be aware of working in any field. 
We also get some thoughts on the subject from industry veterans Megan Barbour (Buddha Jones), Andrew Whyte (Jax, Complexities of Sound), and Joe Vallero (Pool Party Creative).

Structure of a Trailer Cue

Monday Nov 27, 2023

Monday Nov 27, 2023

Welcome to Episode 9 of Trailer Therapy! This week Bryan and Brian espouse the basic rules of trailer music... and when to break them.
They also giver their advice to a composer who lives in a country where their income is too low to be able to afford the necessary VSTs and software most composers take for granted.
Because of the Thanksgiving holiday week, there weren't a ton of tentpole trailers released so the hosts are doing a reset.
