This month’s NSAI-Sponsored Lesson focus on writing for SYNC!
Sync (short for synchronization) is a process where songs combine with moving images– film, TV series, adverts, video games, trailers etc. When writing for Sync, it is important to remember that the music in a scene will always be the supporting role, and its purpose is to support and compliment the mood of the narrative. Consider setting aside some time to sit and listen to your song catalog. Listen to each song closely – How makes you feel? Assign the mood you are feeling to each of your songs as another way to organize your catalog and be ready when the right opportunity comes along!
Here are some great resources provided by Amanda at NSAI HQ to get you started:
“Don’t Overthink” – Brandon Ray on Writing for SYNC (Part 1)
“Don’t Overthink” – Brandon Ray on Writing for SYNC (Part 2)
SYNC 101 – Featuring Heather Cole
The Power of Music in Film – (YouTube video – How music affects film)
“Hey! That’s My Song!: A Guide to Getting Music Placements in Film, TV, and Media” – Written by Tracey and Vance Marino- NSAI San Diego Chapter Coordinators!
We will also give SONG FEEDBACK- try to submit here (if it doesn’t work don’t worry- we will share screens like before)

Both Ruth and I were feeling a bit off key, so we decided to CANCEL the meeting scheduled for August 10th.
For members, this is a good opportunity for you to check out the online library and/or write a new song! You can even check out another chapter, and tell us how great we are when we reconnect on September 14th. For non-members, take a look at the benefits of membership, and consider joining NSAI.
See you in September.
