question:  Can I use popular music for the background of my demo?

answer:

Regarding demo music, popular music should not be used. This is because it is generally not used on professional commercials and narrations. So if it is used on your demo, it will indicate that your demo is created with artificial excerpts -- and that signals that you have no "real life" experience.

Use professionally recorded "library music" for your demo. This is what our studio, like most production studios, use. To purchase a complete library would cost thousands of dollars.

To eliminate this cost, most voice-talent who make homemade demos send their vocal tracks to us and request that we add music and sound effects. We also master the completed excerpts so that they sound like "real" commercial and narration spots.
