How to structure it
Opening
Name the role and, in one line, the strongest reason you're a fit. Skip the throat-clearing.
Middle
One or two paragraphs of real, specific evidence: what you did, and the result. This is where most letters go generic. Yours shouldn't.
Why this employer
One genuine, specific reason you want this job at this company, not any company. Vague enthusiasm reads as a template that wasn't customised.
Close
Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.
Re: Application for Singer
I am writing to apply for the role of Singer with [Company Name]. With a background in live performance, studio recording and collaborative rehearsal, I am confident I can bring a strong, adaptable voice to your upcoming program.
In a recent recording session for a local independent release, I tracked lead and harmony vocals across four songs in a single day, working with the producer to refine phrasing and comp the best takes before the studio clock ran out. The session required quick adjustments to tone and delivery, and the final stems were used without further re-recording.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I would welcome the chance to contribute to your performances or recordings and to grow with your team.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my voice and experience can support your work.
Getting it right
- Keep it to one page. A hiring manager spends seconds on this before deciding whether to read your resume.
- Address a named person where you can find one, rather than "To Whom It May Concern".
- Don't repeat your resume line for line. Use the letter to add context a bullet point can't: why this role, why now, why here.
- Match the tone of the job ad. A formal listing calls for a formal letter; a casual one gives you room to write more like yourself.
This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Make it specific to the actual employer before you send it.
