We discuss various ways to spark your creativity, and how to turn a simple idea into a film. Learn about using popular music in your film, and what royalty free or public domain music means to you.

Creating a film or television project is an amazing process for anyone. But when we have to share or pitch the idea for support, it can be a dreaded experience. Pitching independent projects is unknown territory in our constantly-changing industry. The fact of the matter is most gatekeepers in the TV and Film business will NOT accept unsolicited materials. With this in mind,how can we get in front of the right people to deliver our pitch? On this episode of the LoudaVision podcast, Squeaky Moore is the author of #100Pitches: Mistakes I've Made So You Don't Have To. The content of her book provides great strategy and dispels conflicting information about the pitching process. We discuss applicable tips on how to develop your idea, create a show bible, and get your project sponsored. This includes some easy and proven methods to get your foot in the door and cultivate relationships with the gatekeepers in the TV and film industry. Whether you’re pitching to Martin Scorsese or your family/friends,this podcast can help you increase your confidence, be prepared and ASK BIG. These are skills we don’t often discuss in the film and TV industry- but they are necessary for success.

Can we make money doing what we love? Should we aim to be able to use our creativity to pay the bills? Or will keeping our passion away from our paycheck allow for more freedom, because it separates the practical issue of putting food on the table from your creative process? Valentin Farkasch is an Austrian-American filmmaker and photographer. In this episode, he provides his own view on this debate. We talk about the struggles and benefits of freelancing in New York City, how to pursue our creative visions while still making money, what it takes to be a good filmmaker, and how the DSLR revolution affects professional cinematographers. Find out why Valentin will be taking a break from cinematography in NYC. He is moving back to Austria and will get a non-creative job.

Audio equipment is expensive... why spend more than you have to?
Hello. My name is Laura Meoli and I'm the host of the LoudaVision Podcast for creative people. I have created an easy online course to teach you everything about creating your very own podcast. --CLICK HERE to learn more-- When starting my podcast, I was using costly camera equipment. Why? I believe that we should try out things we want to try, and not let logistics get in the way. As a filmmaker, I have access to camera equipment and microphones, so I used them to start my podcast. There's no wrong answer as long as it works for you. Eventually, I ended up purchasing microphones and equipment specifically for my podcast. Here's a list of my equipment recommendations for podcasting.

I recently lead a workshop at the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle with 2nd through 5th grade students. The topic of our documentary was to speak about what we believe. It was amazing to learn how wise they are at such a young age. I hope you enjoy.
Thanks to the Pelham Picture House for giving me the opportunity to work with these great kids.
Finding the confidence to express yourself as a creative is not always easy. As counter-intuitive as it may sound, SINGING allows you to break through your fear.
Julia Amisano is a voice, piano and acting teacher who believes that everybody can sing. She helps her students, whether 5 years old or 87 years old and everyone in between, connect and share energies by using their voice. Julia demonstrates some easy techniques for learning how to sing- it starts with proper breathing, as our voice is a wind instrument. She gives us great tips on how you can find your perfect vocal range, and always kill it in karaoke. Julia and I also discuss using your voice for introverts, and overcoming stage fright.

Find your Voice with Julia Amisano
Today’s guest on the LoudaVision Podcast is Julia Amisano. She teaches voice, piano and acting at her studio in Brooklyn, New York. You can check her out at GraceMusicStudioNY.com. Thank you, Julia, for coming on the podcast. Thank you. I'm excited to be here. Today’s topic is finding your voice, but before we get to that I want to learn about your background. I’ve seen your bio, you sang at Carnegie Hall and you performed in a lot operas, musicals and plays. Tell me about that. It’s a very, very funny story. I’ve been performing since I was little. If you asked me at six years old, what do you want to be, in fact, people did ask me. I’d be like, “I want to be a singer.” They’d be like, “What else do you want to be?” What do you really want to be?

Suz the Rockstar Advocate Thanks for listening to LoudaVision, the podcast for all you creative people out there. I'm your host, filmmaker and artist, Laura Meoli. If you want to find out more about me and get creative tips and inspiration, you can visit LoudaVision.com or follow me on Instagram, Twitter or my Facebook page @LoudaVision. This show brings together creative people of all types so we can break the stereotype of the starving and struggling artists by sharing ways to make money without sacrificing happiness. Let's do that. Today's guest is Suzanne Paulinski, founder of The Rock/Star Advocate. She's a coach, consultant and author helping artists in the music industry and other creative fields find confidence, clarity and time for self-care. Don't we all need that? She also has great marketing tips and resources for artists on her website, TheRockstarAdvocate.com. Hi. Hello. How are you, Suzanne? I'm good. It's so good to be here. Thanks for having me. To be here on Skype. To be in this shared space on the internet. I'm reading your first published book, The Rock/Star Life Planner. It's a really great workbook that I'm using. I've been doing it for about two weeks. Do you want to tell everyone about that? Over these last two and a half, almost three years, I've been working with clients to get them better organized. To get them prioritizing their tasks a little bit better. I kept creating all these different templates for them. At the beginning of this year, I just thought to myself, "I have all these templates collected that I've created over the years, and they lend themselves well to a planner." I remember last December looking for hours at Barnes & Noble's for a planner that really suited my needs. Because there's a creative person that has their own business, we have social media to worry about and worrying about our finances each week and what we're bringing in, all these different things. I wanted to combine the templates I created that included tracking inventory and keeping track of your social media contacts, all of those things. I decided to put them in a book. A good friend of mine from back at my days at Drexel helped me design it and make it look pretty. It was a really fun project for us to work on together. Awesome. It does look very pretty. Thank you. It's an interesting book because when I hear Rock/Star Life Planner, I'm like, "Oh, that sounds like the self-help book." You're a coach and so it would be natural for you to release a self-help book. This is definitely not that. It's more of a journal, more of a guided self-therapy, I would say. Do you have a product to sell? A project to promote? An empire to build? Surely you've heard that any good brand has to be on EVERY social media platform, constantly engaged, always giving fresh content or else you're a complete failure. I'm kidding... or am I? Social media doesn't have to be a chore. Create and organize an entire YEAR of posts in 5 easy steps. Just think of what you can accomplish without having to worry about your social media dying from neglect? You can build a following and keep them engaged for the entire YEAR- in just two hours today (or tomorrow, or this weekend... really, it's up to you but I'm just saying). Not sure what to post? This guide also includes suggested topics based on research trends. Take the guess-work out of posting and make social media work for YOU with this step by step social media content calendar!

Managing our emotions, grief, pain and disappointment can be overwhelming, but we don’t have to do it alone. Have you ever considered therapy? How about art therapy?
