 ATTN EVERYONE: Writers and unsigned talent wanted!
Hello all, in our never ending quest to make DOA a bigger, better and generally more exciting place we are making some changes to the way we do things and the services we’re going to offer. However, in order to do this we need YOU, well maybe not all of you, that might be a bit difficult to manage, but we need SOME of YOU to help.
Writers needed!
First up, the editorial team is looking for new members to help create exciting and interesting (yes, more exciting and interesting than the rubbish I write!) articles for everyone who isn’t in the editorial team to read. If you would like to break into the rough and tumble world of D&B journalism and create an online portfolio, or if you would just like the chance to meet some of your musical heroes, this could be for you!
We are looking for people to fill the following positions:
Interviewer – you will be expected to complete one interview every six weeks, on rotation with the rest of the team. Interviews must be exciting and interesting (told you), well written and delivered to deadlines.
Software Reviewer – that’s right, an opportunity for you to get FREE STUFF! We’re looking for someone who knows their way around a studio setup, can write informative and attention grabbing reviews and can deliver these pieces to deadlines. You will preferably be from the UK but we will consider applicants from outside.
Event Reviewers – yet another opportunity for FREE STUFF! We’re looking for event reviewers from around the World who can go to a club, train spot all the best tunes of the night, tell us what the DJs were like, how the atmosphere in the venue was, who can take a handful of decent photos to accompany the review and who won’t be so trashed they can hardly remember a thing! In return we can arrange guestlist and possibly even some VIP treatment. Your writing must be up to a high standard and again, you must be able to stick to deadlines!
To apply, please email Jeryl (jeryl@dogsonacid.com) with an example of your writing in the style you are applying for (so if you want to review events, send an event review… not hard is it?).
Unsigned talent – DOA Podcasts!
Get Involved!
We here at DOA Towers have been working hard behind the scenes to arrange some tasty little podcasts for your listening pleasure (in addition to all the other bits of audio we have!) I can reveal that we'll be including the following in the podcasts:
--> The Grid Tune of the Cast
--> Chats with interesting DOA Celebs
--> Technical Chit Chat
--> General DOA Gossip
--> Hot Tunes!
So we are looking for unsigned talent from The Grid to send us their latest efforts… PLEASE only send ONE tune per month and make sure it is a good representation of your studio skills:
- Make sure the tune is finished or as close as, this is “Tune” of the cast not “Loop” of the cast!
- Make sure the one you send is the very BEST tune you have to offer, their will be hundreds, thousands, possibly even trillions (ok, maybe not trillions) of people downloading these casts so make sure you’re not wasting our time and yours by giving us anything less!
- Please don’t hit us up asking for feedback on your tunes, if we like it then we will play it, if we don’t like it we don’t have time to hit you up and tell you why – sorry.
- To avoid confusion when it comes to tracklistings please keep to this standard when naming your files: “Artist Name” – “Track Name”.mp3
So, for example, say DJ Fresh sent us a copy of Wonderland to play, he would name the file: DJ Fresh – Wonderland.mp3. If you want to include contact details then please do so in the id3 tag.
- Send ALL tunes for consideration to AIM name dogsonpodcasts
Suggestions for stuff we can do with the Podcasts are absolutely welcome - either here or via PM (best to speak to Timid about these).
