Most musicians post projects and hear nothing back. It's not because nobody's interested โ it's because the post doesn't give people enough to say yes to. Here's what the successful ones do differently.
Your title is the first thing people see. "Need vocalist" tells people almost nothing. "Dark pop track needs female vocalist โ remote, paid" gives them everything they need to decide in two seconds.
Saying "rock" covers everything from Taylor Swift to Slayer. Instead, say: "Think early Arctic Monkeys meets Radiohead. The track has a driving guitar riff and needs a baritone vocalist who can do both clean and gritty." Now people can picture exactly what you need.
Is this paid? Is there a revenue split? Will the collaborator get a writing credit? Ambiguity kills momentum. Even if the answer is "this is for exposure only," say it upfront โ the right person will still say yes.
A 30-second rough demo is worth more than 300 words of description. Upload what you have โ even a voice memo with guitar. It proves the idea is real and shows people what they're getting into.
Remote or in-person? What city? Async or live sessions? People need to know if this is logistically possible before they invest time in applying.
The best project posts read like a job description written by a human, not a form. Be specific, be honest, and show that you've thought it through.
