We
can now offer you a unique chance
to find out with a unique corporate
team building event in a professional
sound recording studio where you get
to make your very own company CD !
 The
participants get to rewrite and record
their own version of a famous song,
go on a photo shoot, and then make
their very own CD to take away with
them to impress friends and family!
Participants will be
faced with many challenges, and will
need to work effectively as a team
whilst under pressure to record and
produce a CD from beginning to end
in just a single day!
Besides being immense
fun, and an experience that most will
never get the opportunity to do, it
has some other benefits that many
other teambuilding events don't offer...
Your company / organisation
is free to use the end product for
whatever it likes, and previous customers
have used it for everything from telephone
on-hold messages, Radio Jingles, Selling
CD's for fund-raising and for PR in
corporate brochures or in the local
media. You can even have your end
result put onto a playable "CD
company business card" for your
sales rep to give to your customers!
If a company song 'per-se'
isn't for you, then courses can be
tailored to your specific requirements
should your company / organisation
have a specific request or business
need.
Events undertaken
by businesses to date include recording:
- Company
Song
- Company Radio
Jingle
- Telephone
on-hold messages
- Company Musical

What can we
record?
Although we find that the most popular
(and often the best) choice for corporate team build events
is to record a version of a pop song
(with a twist!), you can actually
record whatever you like including
a company anthem, advertisement /
jingle, or radio play! If you have
another idea, it’s not a problem
as we can easily tailor our events
to suit your specific requirements.
What songs can we
record?
Absolutely anything you like, provided
that we are able to obtain the backing
track for you. We do have a comprehensive
catalogue of over 6000 songs that you can choose
from, or you may decide on something
else - the choice is entirely yours.
I can’t sing
Singing ability is not an essential
requirement for these events.
In actual fact, most people can hold
a tune, and our experienced studio
engineer is guaranteed to get the
very best out of everyone’s performance.
Most of our catalogue of recommended
songs are suitable for groups with
a wide range of vocal abilities, and
working as a team you will surprise
yourself with your combined achievement.
Do you have good
quality backing tracks?
April Media Productions use only the
very best backing tracks that sound
identical, or very close to the original.
The quality is superb, which will
guarantee that you get the highest
quality recording possible. We currently
have over 5000 backing tracks to choose
from, and if we haven't got what you
want, we should be able to get it
for you.
If we record a jingle,
can it really be used on the radio?
Provided that the content is approved
by the broadcasting regulators there
is no reason why your own staff can’t
become the stars of your company!
The audio quality of your finished
product will be superb and we will
optimise it for radio broadcast. You
should contact your local radio station
advertising department for any specific
terms and conditions of broadcasting
and they will be able to advise you
of their advertising costs.
Can we sell
copies of our final product?
Yes you can, however if you want to
sell your recording of someone else’s
song, you will
need to seek permission from the song
writer/publisher and pay a small royalties
fee to
the MCPS. In most cases this is not
a problem and we can arrange this
for you.
