As many of you already know, I have a growing singing career. Well not really a career but more of a hobby that pays. Well, one of my dearest friends not only is on Broadway but does extra work on TV and in movies. Well she got me hooked up with one of the best deals ever. A TV show that is filming in NY this summer is using a local cinematography crew to do the shoot. Kellie (my friend) is going to be an extra on the show. So she pulled some strings and happened to get the film crew for the summer on days that they will not be shooting to shoot a music video for me for a low price.

I have two months to plan this out. So I spoke to the mods and admins here and got permission to post a thread about it here. I thought it would be fun to have everyone help me out with it with creative ideas.
So if you want to help, sign up here and we will collect the ideas, understand that this will not be on MTV or anything but will be professionally filmed. I will be more than happy to try and get any contributors into the film if you can make it to NYC.

The creative team is

Me, singer and performer
My friend Kellie who has gotten some Broadway dancers to be involved, both male and female and she will be choreographing and dancing (It will help their portfolio)
Tim, he is our fashion consultant and will be handling wardrobe and hair
Angie, is providing musical talent
Diane who is the director and will be coordinating all of the cinematography

So, how do you guys help you may ask? Well, I really have no idea what to do for the music or what story to tell in the video and we all are looking for any creative input.

Here is some example music of me singing:
[mp3]http://theactionfaction.com/holder/01.mp3[/mp3]
[mp3]http://theactionfaction.com/holder/02.mp3[/mp3]
[mp3]http://theactionfaction.com/holder/03.mp3[/mp3]
[mp3]http://theactionfaction.com/holder/04.mp3[/mp3]
[mp3]http://theactionfaction.com/holder/05.mp3[/mp3]
[mp3]http://theactionfaction.com/holder/06.mp3[/mp3]

Some of the music that I am contemplating doing as a song include:

Wicked Lil Girls by Esthero
Nasty Naughty Boy by Christina Aguilera
Realize by Colbie Callait
Kiss the Girl from the Little Mermaid soundtrack
Need You Tonight by INXS
Slow by Kylie Minogue
Dirty Laundry by Bitter Sweet
Candyman by Christina Aguilera

I am open to other suggestions as well. The thought is to make sure we can include our backup dancers and to make it sexy. Everyone is working out really hard to get our bodies right for the video. I am not a song writer so I am stuck with covers.

Anyway, any and all suggestions are welcome, I need as much contribution as possible and we will not only post the final product here but we will credit any and all contributors with their contributions. I will be using this video to further get club shows and hopefully find a songwriter that wants me to perform their music.
I thank you in advance for your help.

Think Sexy, Think Music!

I am not the most creative as far as coming up with concepts but I can do a good job of critiquing.

You have a lot of talent. Only thing I would suggest is to try and find music that is more diverse and not in the same voice range if you are able to do that. Try to get some music that is for a wee bit lower voice and I think you would have a home run. Hope that does not offend

Thank you sweetheart. Help me make the sexy video.



Maybe I should ask this a little different. I think i will make a related thread in the general area, but What is sexy?
