Tag Edwards: Recording (week 1)

This week:

This week we started the first part of our Christmas Project -- Recording in the Recording Studio!

We vocalized on:
Mah-mah, Nay-yay

We worked on:
1. Recording Studio Technique/ Recording Vocals

Recording Studio Technique/ Recording Vocals
Most singers go their whole lives without stepping foot in a recording studio - and part of the reason for that is because it is SO HARD!! You have to get used to hearing and using your voice in different ways, emphasizing different things in your voice, using slightly different style, dynamics, and volume levels - you have to sing to a click track, with headphones on, singing into a microphone that brings out an entirely different part of your voice than a regular live performance mic. It’s tricky stuff.

This week, in our first recording studio session - we worked on “red light anxiety” - or getting used to all of these changes while simultaneously continuing to work on the vocal production (how to sing) of the song we are recording.

We worked on adding extra brightness, smiling extra hard, keeping time while singing to a click track, and softening the pronunciation of some of our words to give our song more style.

It was an awesome first week in the studio!!

Stay tuned for awesome things to come!!
