Alternatively, use on the following companies who will complete the jingle making process for clients. The advantage to this, is that an experienced production company can control the audio vocals overall sound. Many of them use online vocalists from the contacts listed above. They then piece together with pro audio software (or something similar) with their own music composition. Using their own musical compositions means they won’t be available to other outlets. Some will even make arrangements for the music to be exclusive for a period of time.
With some of these professional jingle companies using the same or similar session singers, obtaining a unique sound (if that’s what is needed) can prove to be a hard task. Music4 and bespoke music use Session singer online. Brandy, Reelworld, Ignite, S2Blue use Virtual vocals. Therefore wanting to create something unique and different could mean searching on-line for your own personal session singer.
When purchasing a package of jingles from these production companies, more recently they use the same theme and musical composition and play around with the production, tempo and voice to create a variation or transitional version of the original sound. That’s perfectly fine if you want each jingle to be similar, especially if you want the same tune pushed into a listeners mind every 10 minutes. If a more uniqueness sound for each jingle is a requirement, it could be better to create each jingle using different composers, production companies and singers. The advise and links above can assist with this.
Jingle Collectors
There are numerous groups on the internet and around the world of companies who collect jingles and talk on forums about the latest musical compositions for branding including jinglemad.com and jinglenews.com.
