Gospel Singers Sought For international recording project:
I am a non-denominational priest. My ministry involves composing, publishing
and recording hymns.
I have set up a world-class production studio with mobile recording
facilities to accomplish the latter.
I am seeking at least five trained vocalists (one operatic soprano, one pop
soprano, one pop contralto, one pop baritone and one pop tenor) to rehearse
and record three albums of some of my songs for release on compact disc and
the internet.
I am hoping to fly to New Zealand for a couple of months to record the

Having the right price for your art work is a critical aspect to growing a
profitable business. The price you charge will influence how your business
is perceived in the marketplace.
Knowing what to charge for your art work is not always an easy task but it
is important to know what effect a price change (discount) will have on your
business.
Learn how to work out your break-even for a piece of art and learn through
examples that will help you in your business decisions when it comes to
pricing each piece.
