GREAT MALE SINGER NEEDED, NEW YORK

Award-winning director and television producer seeking a male singer to lay down the audio track of a song that will be made into a viral music video, similar to SNL's ''D... in a Box.'' You should be a tenor / upper tenor, be comfortable belting out an 80's power ballad / rock song, and ideally able to nail the comedy of the lyrics. The recording session will be Wednesday, February 14 in Manhattan. While there is no pay, you will have a copy of the song and finished music video days later, and the video has an excellent chance of going viral. Previous videos have been featured in the past month on the homepage of YouTube, MySpace, NBC's It's Your Show, LiveVideo, DotComedy and IFilm, to name a few. Please email me if interested, along with links to your demo / website / myspace page so I can listen to samples of your music. Email your resume as text in the body of the email or as an attachment to: music@jamessmurray.com with "musician" in the subject line.
