Independent … Always

6:02 PM in System Adminitration by admin

For the past two years “Be Seen. Be Heard.” has used the free services of Ning
to keep you connected to similar passionate artists who want to showcase
their work, as we did during the USA Sevens International Rugby
tournaments in San Diego. Ning has now converted to a paid subscription
services so we will no longer be able to maintain the Ning services.

Many members have used this social network to connect, collaborate and cooperate with other members. This has always been the intent of “Be Seen. Be Heard” since its inception on Tha Zone TV. My Ultimate Prize, LLC, the producer of “Be Seen. Be Heard.” continues its commitment to independent artists and their perseverance to share their experiences with the masses via artistic media. Therefore, we have migrated to an open-source social network platform, “WordPress” that we manage. We will continue to offer this free service.

We archived all your Ning submissions and have made them available on this new platform.

About this project

1. Who am I?
Hello my name is Tony Copeland and I’m an independent
record label owner (Danay Records) and jazz guitar recording artist from

Houston TX. Using my personal resources I wrote, recorded and produced a

13 song jazz CD project entitled “Panoramic View” which my friends and

fans love. The project was digitally released on September 1st 2009.

Since then I’ve managed to put together a backup band called

“Changetime”. Along with upcoming summer show dates, we need

professionally “Green” packaged products for friends and fans.


2. What we wanna do!
We want to think green, be mindful of and sensitive to the
natural environment in which we live. If you notice, we’re experiencing

natural disasters one after another. We are advocating the 3 R’s of

environmental protection. Reduce, Reuse, And Recycle. We’d like to be

able to purchase at least 1000 of the professionally packaged 8-panel cd

digipaks from Disc Makers to distribute to all of our fans when and

where ever we perform.


These digipaks are unique. What makes them unique is the fact that they are manufactured from recycled board. This allows us to

reduce our cost and present our product to the public at an economical

rate. Also if our friends and fans should ever decide to discard the

digipak and “we hope they won’t” it can simply be recycled. Now that’s

thinking green.


3. Why we need your help!
We simply need the extra push to raise capital to provide
us with a green oriented product. When you help us out, you will have a

significant and positive impact on the changing times in the world.

Remember, we need to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.


4. The Cd Project
“Panoramic View” was basically written after Tony Copeland
began to take a close look at the way we humans have such a disregard

for the actual world. So after a time of self reflection and focus, he

sat down and began to transfer his thoughts to guitar. Using it as a

tool for change, he decided to record the project .


5. What Else!
A lot of people are asking how to donate. Near the top
right side is a green button that says Back This Project – click it!

It’ll take you through the process of supporting us.


We love helping people in a creative way!

Broken Souls (Book/screenplay)

10:21 AM in Uncategorized by admin

Broken Souls is a screenplay that was adapted from the book of my true life story entitled, ” The Torment’s of the Modest, Secluded Farm Life”.
I attended private school and was constantly under pressure from my strict parents who believed that being “sheltered” from the world was the only way to live a pure and healthy life. I was repressed in everything that I did as I grew up in that environment. I was never exposed to any of the realities that most children of today can see by just turning on a television set.
But the day finally came that I left my hometown. I had to leave this blanket of security that, unbeknownst to me, was completely smothering my social development. I quickly discovered that I was unprepared for the real world, or shall we say, the “Other World’ of rough language and hard decisions.
During this time, I met another woman similar to me, and she became my guardian angel. She could tell simply by talking to me at the mail box how I was being torn mentally in all directions and was nervous about just talking in general. With her daily help of two years, and by making some hard decisions I was able to overcome the adversity in my life and become the person I am today.
If you check out my biography you will see how my adult life has been spent in giving back to others through groups, organizations and schools in return for having been rescued from my naive self.
In the screenplay ” BROKEN SOULS” you will discover how, after my return home, I began to help my friend Daisy who relied on me to help her though her own tragedy and slowly became accustomed to the real world in order to survive in it.
When you are raised in this manner it takes many years to begin to feel like you are catching up with the real world and many don’t realize it till they had reach the age of forty, how it held them back from their goals in life. So this is a story worth the telling in order to make a difference in someone else’s life.
Those who can relate to the bond of “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” will surely be able to appreciate this screenplay. So for producers and agents who are looking for material that is not violent and sends a positive message, THIS IS IT.
Thank you,
Doris Anne Beaulieu

Hi!

The Auto Dropouts – Sweden.
I would like to focus on the benefits coming from avoiding all the crappy postings of self importance & fake buzz going on out there. I feel that an upright approach with less focus on “shameless self promotion” tends to pay off best. Simply to be very honest and very you. More flyer postings everywhere might be a backlash & as i hate it myself i never do it. If you got great songs they will find theire way to peoples ears thank’s to emself almost. Got to do some blogging to inform where you are about – but NOT about every little action you take. To ask your fans kindly with respect if they like to help you out is so much better than the “bombing” method. Trust me on this :-) – i would recomend any new band to put theire songs in the bin of “Garageband.com” to get a great number of reviews on each song. Then you get a various picture of what people hear in it – a good thing indeed. and it helps you to sort out and to leave out the material that dosen’t get any good feedback. If you care for real about potential fans – better to stay in contact with the ones you have and to build slowly from there than to bomb the world. If you’re good enough there’s so many great promotion individuals out there helping you for free. It’s all back to honesty again.
Thank’s n cheers!

[Check Out Our Videos Here!]
Check Out Our Videos Here! said… People are visual. TV was so huge, because we didn’t have to read and when we saw something we liked we told our friends. Today, we can instantly tell our friends and even show them as well. So, my suggestion is to make videos … all kinds of videos! And get everyone to share them!

You don’t need a big budget to make a music video these days. You can make a $10 video a lot more interesting then a $100,000 video. Just be creative and make some for a few of your songs! Our budget for “I Rather Dance With A Stranger” was $100 and our budget for “Love Redundant” was $0. Check them out at the link above!

Also, make all kinds of vidoes. Not just music vidoes. I’m taking simple stuff. Make one of the band at rehearsal and another of the band performing an acoustic version of a song in a living room. Make one of you doing something silly/funny, make an educational one, make video invites to shows, a video bio, etc …

The best advise I can give to other emerging artist when engaging social media for career development is to be authentic and avoid funny business and hidden agendas. Know where you stand in your career before fully launching yourself into social media. Read and study, this way you will have some idea about your ROI (Return on Investment). Remember that it’s not about free marketing, it’s about customer service. Encourage and allow your friends and social media associates to get involved. They are a valuable asset to you. Get involved with your audience. Let them know that they are listened to. I try to write all my Jango fans just to say hi and to let them know that there would be no success for me if not for them. They answer back and a few have developed a continual relationship with me.

Its real simple – If you dont have a band page on all the social networks, like facebook, twitter, as well as Jango than your are definantly wasting oportunity for exposure. Most Independent Artist can’t afford the marketing exposure social networks gives you. This is the best thing that ever could have happen for Independent Artist. Finally we can fight back the major labels. With the exposure we get we can sell our own music and use that social network to let every body know where to buy our music. If you are leary of any social network that charges money – research that network “All the search engines are free”. The internet is the most econimcal tool we have as Independent Artist. Some of those social networks are resposiable for a lot of artist getting discovered. As an Independent artist you must realized that its a new error in the music industry and social networks are a must. I hope everyone realizes that most of the A&R’s at the major labels surf the social networks for talent. What I suggest to every new artist -Create as many band pages that you can on as many social networks as you can. Get your music played on every Internet radio station that will play it. You cant measur the value of the stat information Jango has available to there members. With all that said every Independent Artist needs to join as many social networks as possible…

Zolpidem became common in the treatment of insomnia only a few short years ago, though its use has absolutely sky rocketed during that time. Zolpidem is marketed in North America under the name Ambien, or Ambien CR (controlled release). During this period that Zolpidem has shown itself to have a wide range of dangers and adverse side effects. Many people taking Zolpidem experience feelings of confusion, dizziness and headache. A significant amount of people using Zolpidem experienced personality changes and memory loss; short term “blackouts”, or holes in one’s memory have been reported by some users. In the near future we may see Zolpidem no longer being prescribed. Rather than using strong drugs like Zolpidem it is important to investigate alternatives. Natural supplements are far more gentle on the body and do not have the same adverse side effects or dependency issues. So get the night’s sleep you need without the side effects you don’t, trust in nature!

Zolpidem is a more hazardous drug than you may realize, and should never be taken in doses which exceed 10mg per day. Allergic reaction is common to users of Zolpidem, showing itself as rash, hives and sore throat. What’s more frightening are reports of hallucinations, memory loss, mood swings, personality changes and general confusion among users of Zolpidem. Generally marketed under the name Ambien, Zolpidem is becoming more and more commonly used in the treatment of insomnia. Though it is quite similar to benzodiazepines like Valium and Xanax it actually does not belong to this family of drugs. Zolpidem can be quite damaging to the liver and kidneys, and is also not recommended for any person with a lung disease. All of this should be discussed with your doctor before taking Zolpidem, but alternatives to Zolpidem for sleep disorders should be considered first.

[kw]Herbal sleep aids[kw] are commonly used by a group of natural enthusiasts, but the majority of people still use pharmaceutical drugs when they are having problems with sleep. It is definitely something that needs to change, and something that can be changed with a little bit of education on herbal sleep aids. These sleep aids do not have the types of side effects prescription and non-prescription drugs do, allowing you to rest without waking up drowsy. They also do not have any risk of addiction or dependency, so you don’t have to worry about how long you take herbal sleep aids. Much of the time they are cheaper, and never require a prescription. You can order herbal sleep aids online, or go to health food and natural remedy stores to get them. Herbal sleep aids come in many varieties, and you shouldn’t have problems finding one which works for you.

There are many clinics which claim to offer the best anti aging systems available, but much of what they do is unnecessary and just there to pad the bill. The best anti aging should slow and/or reverse the effects of time so that people can not only look much better but feel better and live healthier lives. While these clinics may claim to have great anti aging techniques many of them are just putting a piece of gum on a leaky pipe. Other clinics give injections of HGH, while HGH is probably the best anti aging therapy available, the injections have serious side effects and are obscenely expensive. For the best anti aging HGH treatment which is both affordable and safe you should go with an HGH supplement rather than injections. The supplements are side effect free and just a fraction of the cost of injections, they are also widely available in health food stores and on the internet without a prescription. For the best anti aging method that won’t break the bank or require you to travel to a clinic trust in HGH supplements.

HGH products can actually be harmful if you chose injections. What many people don’t realize is that HGH products which are synthetically produced lead to problems such as diabetes and premature arthritis. Even though HGH usually lowers blood pressure, artificial HGH products have been shown to cause hypertension. Almost any doctor you’ll speak to will warn you against using these sorts of HGH products unless you are suffering from a severe hormone deficiency. If you are interested in anti aging or bodybuilding but have a normal amount of concern for your health, you should use natural HGH products. By natural HGH products I don’t mean using HGH secreted in another person (I don’t want anybody raiding morgues for human brains), I’m talking about things called secretagogues which boost your natural production of human growth hormone. They are infinitely safer as well as more affordable.

Taking an HGH supplement is a great way to take back your health so you can look and feel younger again. Because you need good levels of HGH in your system to promote proper cellular regeneration (the multiplication of cells to repair body tissues and replace dead ones) an HGH supplement has positive effects that can be seen and felt all over the body. Most people look to buy an HGH supplement to improve their skin, and this is a great use for it. When you take an HGH supplement it begins the release of human growth hormone into the blood stream, and it inevitably makes its way to the skin. Once the hormone released by the HGH supplement begins to flow through the tiny capillaries in the skin, it encourages cellular multiplication to create new skin cells which replace older ones and can better maintain skin’s texture. Nearly every middle aged and elderly person suffers from an HGH deficiency, and it is commonly called the aging process. By taking an HGH supplement you can slow down and even reverse the effects of aging and age much more gracefully.

hoodia

Unless you have incredible will power, appetite suppression is going to be necessary for your diet to succeed. There are certain simple things you can do for this like filling your stomach with water or cabbage, which result in temporary appetite suppression. For more effective and long term appetite suppression there are two types of herbal appetite suppressants to consider. The first is a green tea extract, which can offer moderate appetite suppression but unfortunately works because of all the caffeine in it. This means that the appetite suppression will come at the price of jitters and occasionally insomnia. The other natural option for appetite suppression is Hoodia; which works in a different way than a stimulant like caffeine. Instead, it offers appetite suppression by making the brain think that levels of sugar in the body are very high, and it shuts off the hunger sensation because it believes you have just eaten a large meal. With no side effects or health risks, this makes Hoodia the best option for appetite suppression.

If you want your diet to be successful you need a good weight loss plan, and you need to stick to it. Your weight loss plan should extend past just losing weight, but continue after words for weight management so you don’t gain it back. You should also have a weight loss plan that doesn’t bother you too much, because it should be made up of healthy life style changes that you can continue permanently. Trend diets or any weight loss plan that involves eating just one food or suffering through a ridiculously low daily calorie intake will in most cases result in weight loss, but very temporary weight loss. Rebounding hard after a weight loss plan like this is very common because you have been suffering so much that once you see results you will want to indulge. The problem is that during this short period you have lost muscle mass as well as fat, and your daily calorie expenditure is lower. A more gradual and reasonable weight loss plan tailored to your preferences is far superior, and more likely to have long term success. If you still have problems losing weight you may want to add an appetite suppressant like Hoodia to your weight loss plan.

Even though ephedra was a natural appetite suppressant there were still many dangers associated with it and it eventually was banned. A new natural appetite suppressant has now taken its place; going by the name “bitter orange” it shows the same side effects and we may see it banned as well within the next couple years. For a natural appetite suppressant without risks or side effects Hoodia comes highly recommended. Hoodia is not a stimulant of an type, but rather reduces hunger by fooling the brain into thinking glucose levels are very high. It is when glucose levels drop that the hypothalamus sends out the signal we recognize as hunger; so by circumventing the recognition of low glucose levels Hoodia is the only natural appetite suppressant which directly reduces hunger. Hoodia has been shown to be a safe natural appetite suppressant as well, having been used for hundreds and hundreds of years by the Bushmen of South Africa and also undergone clinical testing.
