    If you’re looking for great ideas in the Film & Music Industrie to start as a Film Composer this book will open your eyes.

    You will definetly learn how to survive and exist as a Composer.

    The most important is to put those ideas in the praxis!

    I read the previous 6 reviews for Bellis’ book, purchased it immediately and finished it 2 days later after 2 sittings. You won’t find a more insightful and enjoyable film music reference anywhere. Up-to-date, comprehensive, fun, easy-to-read. Don’t waste time reading my review. Go to checkout and see for yourself.

    Excellent book for the composer trying to break into the industry. Richard Bellis tells it like it is, and his advice is applicable today, in 2007. A must read for any film music composer, or anyone curious about the business.

    I was laughing loudly at times. Raising my eyebrow and making a mental note at times. I was familiar with most of this information already, but a fresh view and voice was fantastic. I would recommend this book to anyone who is gaining confidence that they have the chops to write good music and want a great cross-section view of what the film scoring industry is like.

    The music business is a tough one to break into, even for those that know what they are doing. Narrowing that down to film composition is even more difficult. I read this book cover to cover in one day because I found it absolutely fascinating. Anyone who is even thinking about a career in this industry should get a copy immediately.

    Not only does Richard Bellis tell us the REAL DEAL of what goes on in the industry but even helps with time management, contracts and what is REALLY expected by the pros and does so in a light-hearted and enjoyable way. There is nothing left uncovered on the business side of the business.

    By all means, learn all you can about composition, creativity, sound and recording. It is essential. But without this knowledge and insight, you’ll have a tough time getting in the door!
