Hello guys I'm new to this industry, never composed for a movie/video material before. Until now I've invested in libraries and constantly tried to improve my sound. I'm looking for some sincere/professional advice. Take a listen at my last track that I've created for my portfolio (Interstellar inspired me ): https://soundcloud.com/alinconstantine/intergalactic-frenzy What do you think I should do as a starter composer and how do we make it in the industry when all we've got is our creativity?

Do something that makes you stand out from most others starting with creating sounds unique to you (because everyone competing for gigs will have all the "hot samples"). Get a good quality hand-held field recorder (you can pick up a decent Zoom, Edirol or Roland model for under $400) and record sounds around the home/outdoors (you might be surprised by the "sonic gold" you unearth). Once you have a few dozen of these, transfer the sound files into some sequencing program such as Digital Performer, Logic or Cakewalk and have fun processing the sounds to your heart's content. This gives you a compendium of sound design effects that are unique to you, useful for almost any genre of film you're approached to work in. Once you get going, try not to get stuck doing the same kind of films to the point you become "typecast" as any one type of genre composer (horror, thriller, romantic comedy, etc.) By the time you've done two or three of these films (and have likely secured representation of some sort) you're ready to try something else, your types of scoring prospects expanding as people in the industry start to recognize your versatility (you can always revisit your "name genre" on occasion). My "two cents" worth.
