Lyric Evaluations

This service provides valuable feedback and a detailed analysis of your lyric. Each lyric submitted shall receive a comprehensive evaluation, with every line of your lyric being closely reviewed. We will make suggestions on how you can perfect your lyric.

If you send your lyrics via email, we will paste your lyrics into our Lyric Evaluation format, and carefully review and make comments on many of your specific lines. We will spotlight which lyric lines are already excellent, and which lines and phrases that may need further development.

At this time, Dale Kawashima (veteran music publisher/A&R and Head of SongwriterUniverse) will be writing every lyric evaluation. The evaluation will be a detailed, typed analysis of every facet of your lyric.

Testimonials

Here are recent testimonials for our Lyric Evaluations service:

"Dale Kawashima provides insightful and precise critiques that have helped make my average lyrics good, and my good lyrics great. Not only will Dale make comments, line by line, on what works and what doesn't in a lyric, but he gives suggestions on how to improve a lyric's structure, ideas and marketability - all with sensitivity to artistic integrity. I can honestly say that Dale has helped me become a better songwriter. For example, as a result of his lyric critiques, I have rewritten and improved several songs, including my song "Glide," which ended up being selected as one of the Top Five Songs in the SongwriterUniverse monthly song contest."
