Bernie's right, huge field, work is available, just getting it and keeping it is a problem.  I just finished a start up package for a station, less than a week to produce all of it, and got lucky to sign them for a year deal.  it's not really about who you know, it is about who knows you.  I've gotten lucky, I have a consultant recommending me to his stations, it helps alot.

Hi. Resume: Online radio / video (Guitar / bass / recording / producing singers & bands)
www.liquidfusion.net

Freelance idea: One possibility is supplying music for business speakers who need tracks for live presentations or original (not canned cheezy music) tracks for recorded flash videos. Other Ideas: freelance audo production for radio programs. Help prepare video / audio for TV specials. Realize I need connections to unlock these doors.

it's not really about who you know, it is about who knows you.  I've gotten lucky, I have a consultant recommending me to his stations, it helps alot.
How True!!!!!!!!! Need to get people to know what I can do!!!!!!!!! How do you get a consultant?

Current Main Goal: working survival job while building up my rock / funk / blues record label - Liquid Fusion (R) - using my Grammy Member connection (Producer / Engineer / Media Company) to showcase talent. Freelance work will help with income: living / investing in option trading (my blessing/curse) to self raise the $$$$$$$ I need to pay for advertising to get this endeavor happening the way it needs to be.

Recently, joined eLance and Guru to test waters re: individual audio / video projects. BTW eLance / Guru media buyers often need voice talent for projects!!!

Introducing yourself now is very useful. The person you're describing is not familiar as a radio production person, you're describing yourelf as a musician and producer in music production. You see, radio producers are involved in creating commercials and jingles, using library music and jingle workparts.

Here's my advice for you, if you a composer and musician why don't you get in contact with the companies who create library production music?

If you want to read more about people's experiiences with libraries then take a look at the Music Business section of the Sound on Sound forum at http://www.soundonsound.com. There are a couple of very successful library writers that post there.

Cheers
