Vocal / recording preparation

Before proceeding with any project, if you are a Singer, Songwriter please consider the following. Recording in a Premier recording studio with a Professional Producer/ Arranger and top session level musicians is probably one of the most important investments that you will make, if you are wishing to proceed on a professional level with your musical career. Choosing songs that are within your voice range and vocal ability will save you time and money. Here are some tips to consider.

  • Have plenty of rest a few days before your session
  • Try to avoid alcohol and smoking
  • Practice, practice, practice this will tighten your performance
  • Vocalists should work with a professional prior to the recording
  • The voice is a very complex instrument, so a set of golden ears will keep you to stay focused
  • Your lyrics should certainly be written in advance unless you are requiring help with co-writing or singwriting.
  • Drinking a glass of room temperature water will lubricate the throat before the recording session
  • Try to avoid any draughts or fans as this may affect the throat
  • Be organised with your sheet music / lyrics and any other equipment
  • Stay focused on your song paying attention to any difficult areas
  • Make sure that your weight is rested evenly on both legs, if standing
  • Make sure your back is supported and not stiff
  • Take your breath gently through the mouth allowing three beats before the first word of the song, to get a full breath. Try not to force the air back through your mouth, draw it back gently.
  • Plan to arrive in good time to calm down and relax before your session
