PotentialSound

INTRODUCTION

PotentialSound is a hub for talent to be found, and offers a new world of talented individuals. Whether new to the industry, or already established, PotentialSound provides a convenient platform for artists to collaborate, showcase their skill, or provide their services. These artists can contribute to the main feed by creating posts with custom messages, images, audio snippets, and videos. PotentialSound offers a wide range of connectivity. Provide links to your other social media, so people can discover your talent faster. Direct message a user from their post or create a chat and add as many people as you want. If you need to discuss business, or you just can't get your point across over the message thread, start a video call for the entire chat to join. The end goal is to bring these artists together and help them find what they're looking for, and through their future collaboration, bring out their PotentialSound.
