In the time it takes for you to watch this post, most people will decide whether or not they like your song. So here are three things you can do to ensure a second listen. One is to think of your intro as a chance to establish trust.
Your listener wants you to prove that your song is going to be worth their time. The intro is like a down payment. Second, don’t linger unnecessarily.
Get to the hook quickly. That’ll allow you to use your most important tool, which is repetition. Human beings love to make order out of chaos, and the second time they hear something, they start to connect the dots.
The second time they hear your song, they’re going to be far more forgiving. But you only get one chance to make a first impression, so make it count. And if this was helpful, like this post and share it with someone who belongs in one of our workshops or our classes.
