Episode 130: How to Get Feedback that Actually Works
Manage episode 478631830 series 3409579
This episode is by request, from my woman Rebecca, who asked, "When you're creating a larger piece of work (i.e. something longer than the standard 3-5 minutes), at what point do you ask others for feedback? At a rough draft phase or more of a pre-final phase? And if you're creating something that requires original music, at what point do you reach out to someone for that?"
Let's talk about it! What you'll hear:
