Episode 130: How to Get Feedback that Actually Works

Send us Fan MailThis episode is by request, from my woman Rebecca, who asked, "When you're creating a larger piece of work (i.e. something longer than the standard 3-5 minutes), at what point do you ask others for feedback? At a rough draft phase or more of a pre-final phase? And if you're creating something that requires original music, at what point do you reach out to someone for that?"Let's talk about it!  What you'll hear:Woo Corner's coming atcha next week!  Join in here (not selling things, just sharing functional woo):  https://rachelstricklandcreative.ck.page/Are you going to be in Charleston on June 20?  Come see The Monstrous Feminine and The Yellow Wallpaper!  https://www.eventcreate.com/e/yellowwallpaper  2:30Creating outside of your prescribed or familiar structure, and the lessons of the length of a pop song 3:30When should you reach out for feedback?  5:50CAN WE PLEASE LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WANTING VALIDATION AND WANTING FEEDBACK 6:49The absolute worst way to ask for feedback (do NOT do this to me) 10:00One tell-tale sign that what you're craving is actually validation 12:15Maestro's podcast on the consequences of outsourcing your thinking 13:35  https://themovementmaestro.com/motm-656-the-consequence-of-outsourcing/Questions that can be helpful to ask for feedback, just some thoughts to get you started 14:05Creating with original music, and how to navigate that with the musician (ie:  when to pursue the music) 15:00Midas is King (creating completely without music, music was created by Max Cooper to fit the film) https://www.rachelstricklandcreative.com/midasiskingTwo pieces I made in collaboration with Jym Daly (created in tandem):Lion Skin (hoop solo) https://www.rachelstricklandcreative.com/lion-skinArchetype (aerial loops duo) created with Anastasia Sauvage https://www.rachelstricklandcreative.com/archetypeCliffsNotes for getting actually useful feedback when you're ready 20: 49Liz Lehrman's Critical Response Process for feedback (for the nerds) https://lizlerman.com/critical-response-process/ 22:31Don't go back to sleep.xoRachelSign up here for monthly blasts and functional wooFind me on InstagramSupport this podcast on Patreon
