Session Flow Overview
To ensure a smooth session and set you up for success, here’s what to expect during your recording:
Kick-Off:
Once we start rolling audio and cameras, you’ll begin by introducing yourself:
Say your name/band name and: "You are tuned in to The Houston Collective."
After your introduction, jump right into your first track
Host Intros & First Interview Segment:
After your first track, our hosts will introduce themselves.
The first round of questions will typically focus on your origin story—how you started or formed your band.
Second Track & Creative Process Discussion:
Perform your second track.
Next, we’ll discuss your creative process, including how you write your music, lyrics, or poems, and how everything comes together as a group or as a solo artist.
Third Track & Houston Music Scene Conversation:
Perform your third song.
Then, we’ll talk about your experience in the Houston music scene.
Closing Segment & YouTube Exclusive:
We’ll wrap up the main session and then record an intro for the YouTube-exclusive segment.
During this, you’ll have a chance to plug where people can find your music, any upcoming shows, and any other time-sensitive information.
Finally, you’ll perform your fourth and final track.
If there’s time, we may have some additional informal discussion to wrap things up.
