What advice would you give the singer to improve things
a) right now
b) for future reference?
Thanks! |
I'm not thrill but I have been battling this forever. Right now I would see if that singer conveys you anything while just singing with a guitar in a live situation, or your living room. If you like the sound of his voice without a mic on, then his problem is probably due to singing with headphones in a booth, or plain recording panic. And the solution with that is practice, along with a engineer or producer that makes him feel confortable. and many other psychological tricks engineers have to make a singer give a better perfomance. If the singer is used to sing songs with a guitar, try to record his voice with a guitar. I've posted about this a few months ago, and got many excellent different tips to overcome recording panic and make the best performance. Oh, and never ever record word by word, punch in punch out. do one take through the whole song , then another ,then another, do not pause during takes, never answer the phone while the singer is singing, always tell him he is great
