We spend hours creating, arranging, tweaking and mixing the perfect song. We get so engrossed by all the components of a song that it’s easy to forget one major point – the vast majority of music consumers only concentrate on the vocals. As a result, us “music creators” don’t need to co-ordinate ‘good’ vocal sessions, but ‘great’ vocal sessions!
Meet the Singer in Advance
If you’re using a session singer, have you met the vocalist before? If you’ve got a good working relationship with a singer you’re already familiar with then you’re already halfway there. If not, then this is an area to really think about.
If you haven’t met your singer then it’s good practise to break the ice a few days before. This can help avoid any awkwardness on the day and it’s a chance to bounce creative ideas off each other and answer each other’s questions. Feeling comfortable is a vital part of singing and this is something you’ll need to encourage to get the best out of the song!
Check out the Melodic RangeIs your melody in the range of the vocalist you’re using? If you don’t know, find out in advance! It sounds silly but I’ve turned up to sessions where songwriters haven’t checked the range of their session singer and if they had recorded the track up or down a semitone it would have majorly benefitted the recording. Most DAW’s now make it easy to change the key of a piece via the use of a dedicated Tranpose function – this can be especially easy if you’re using virtual instruments extensively.
Send the Song Before the Session
It’s a great idea to send the song to the vocalist in advance. Even if there are no scratch vocals on the track yet, a rough mix of what you’ve got so far will give the vocalist an idea of the feel and mood of the track.
If you’re going to be the one singing on the track, then do the same! Put the track on your MP3 player or burn a disc for your car. Get used to the track prior to the session and you’ll feel much more comfortable when the red light is on, especially if there’s an engineer in the room.
