Kids Singing & Recording Workshop (16 and under)

Kids Singing & Recording Workshop (16 and under)

Recording in a studio is all about finding the way to give a performance that will sound great on multiple repeated listens, as well as singing in a way that sounds spontaneous and fresh.

OUR WORKSHOP IS AN INTERACTIVE LESSON IN SINGING AT THE RECORDING STUDIO

Working in recording studio is very different from singing on stage to a crowd. When you perform you can see and hear the audience right in front of you, but in a studio it’s just you and the microphone. Getting a great recording can mean overcoming self-consciousness, nervousness and anxiety as well as not being distracted by the unfamiliar studio environment.

But in the studio you don't necessarily have to sing perfectly in tune or even in time. Recorded performances can be edited, mixed, adapted and perfected in various ways so that the best bits from your takes are seamlessly strung together to make the best possible version.

The tips and techniques used in professional studios by experienced performers can free you up to be at your most creative and our workshop will show you skills and tricks you can easily learn that will free you up to be at your best in front of the microphone.

Your facilitators are a professional vocal coach and experienced record producer, working together to take you through the process.

Methods for warming up
How to take care of your voice in preparation for recording
The way a microphone responds to you e.g to distance from the mouth
Fading out long notes
Headphone balance - what to ask for and how
Tricks for making sure you are in tune / in time and not over singing
Making sure first note you sing is in tune / right sound
'Dropping in' - how to help make a lead vocal sound as if it's all recorded in one take.
How to adapt your attitude or sound if something isn't working for you or the producer.
This interactive and focused workshop is for a group of no more than 6 to allow us time to work with each person individually and as a group. While the session is mainly intended to be instructional, performances will be recorded and you will also be supplied with support material to take away.

We look forward to welcoming you to our next event on 28th January 2018.
