Do You Need A Comedy Album?
Ask yourself at this point of time, do you need an album?
Is it required for you? I mean, you can improve your performance by going to different shows and increasing your fan following.
Let me tell you why people are interested in creating a comedy album. There are comedians who always want something more. They work on comedy after doing their day job. This gives them the synergic implementation of their career to make them peak quickly. It also gives them an extra amount of remuneration, which can build their career in different directions.
At first, you should be clear and precise if you need to do an album or not. Make it so clear that nothing can bother you during the process.
- Idea
It is the basic requirement to start any kind of process. Try to analyze yourself. What is the basic raw idea that can let you create the album on your own?
The idea should be unique and genuine. This uniqueness will let you get a competitive advantage in the market. A number of people come up with humor tied to their own identity.
First, make it clear and precise what your idea is for the base of your album.
- Research
Quality research always will give you a quality outcome. To establish a comedy album, which is not a single day’s work, it is highly recommended to research properly. This kind of work should be done over the long-term.
Do research about recent albums that came across the internet and did really well with audiences. Try to research and get public opinions on different genres and different performances.
Try to make a competitor’s analysis and SWOT analysis, which will help you make a well-structured comparison. So always stick to the research and make it genuine and complete.
- Select The Venue
Now, this is the important part where you need to consider it seriously. Going for a well-organized and well-crowded place will do half of your marketing. Also, due to COVID, more than likely, you will be limited to outdoor venues.
Try to choose a well-known and well-crowded venue which will let your show go wider in range. Always go for the profitable side of your craft. Always choose the perfect venue in terms of targeting a wider audience and approaching in a proper manner.
- Selecting A Format
Making your own format of comedy is an essential part of the process. Make your format so organized that everyone should understand what is actually going on inside your album. An inappropriate format may ruin your whole craft and will let you down in sales. Work on your format so hard that all your hard work will be worth it one day.
- Make A Budget
Going for a crisp budget will reduce your risks associated with the event. Always try to make your budget sharp and crisp, that if something happens during the process, you should have the backup to take the situation back into control. A well-settled budget will always make half of your preparation easy and fluid.
- Going To Shoot
Try to list out the essential things before going for a shoot. Script your dialogue in the performance. Delivery and performance are key.
- Choosing A Good Crew
Well, it is seen throughout these years that before every successful event or concert, there is a team that has contributed an immense amount of effort to make it enjoyable and memorable.
Always do well in every department. It may be the Shooting department, DOP, or Art department. It may be the sound department or something else. Always try to go for the best in your budget.
- Repeat
Going for one album never completes anything. Try to get the post-event duties. This is what most of the creators lack skills. Going for the post-event reviews will make you grow more and let you collect the feedback for your next performance. This is an important part of the process. Always go for the reviews and get it done by the end of the performance.
Repeat all the steps to create new albums and make sure you have done it on your own without copying anyone else. You might have taken suggestions but never try to copy somebody, which can ultimately let you ruin your album and your career as well.
All of the above things are tips and ways to make your album do well. Remember, with great hope comes great outcomes.
