Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday! Before I get to your tip, a couple of reminders and announcements.
First, I’m giving away a copy of Exotic World and the Burlesque Revival, just go to my review and leave a comment. I’l pick a winner at random on Wednesday morning.
Second, applications to the first ever Mini BurlExpo close on Saturday! It’s going to be a fun and relaxed weekend. Join us in July!
And now, your tip:
Create info sheets for each of your acts.
It will make your life so much easier when submitting to festivals or working with a producer. I keep these files handy on my computer and then cut & paste the necessary information as needed. For each act I have the name, a link to the video, the song title, artist and length, a basic introduction, a short description, set up and clean up, lighting and sound notes, and anything else important.
I also have another sheet with my performer bio in various common lengths (50 words, 500 characters, 200 words, &c.). If you’re really organized, also have an mp3 of each song and promo photos in the same folder with the act info and the bio. Everything you need in one place!
Like this tip? There are lots more in Miss Mina Murray’s Little Book of Better Burlesque.
