Finally, Help for Getting Magic in Studio Vocals
I'll get right to the point. A great vocal vs. a mediocre vocal can mean life or death to a professional music career. Trying to capture that magic vocal without
knowing how can cause budgets to go over and voice-defeating frustrations to
build.
It's never been more
important to not settle for less than the absolute best vocal you can record.
I've been singing on hits in the studio for over 4
decades, and leading other singers for almost that long. Producing other voices
in the studio made me realize the great
need for a trustable source of information that could conquer studio vocal
limitations -- and maximize vocal impact.
That's why I created the breakthrough new multimedia system "Singing In
The Studio".
Don't bother
trying to compare this studio vocal training program to others ... there is
nothing else like it out there. This program is a culmination of all my
experience in the studio as a staff jingle singer, session singer, recording
artist, vocal coach, recording producer and vocal producer/consultant. It gives
advice that has been proven time and time again to quickly enable vocal magic
in practical studio situations. It
also includes insights from 7 other top studio pros.
"Singing In The Studio' is a must read for all new artists and read it before you even think about going into the studio" - Mike Borchetta, president Lofton Creek Records, formerly head of Curb Records promotions
What can this system do for you?
Imagine this:
You are a singer in the studio about to record a very important vocal.
If you haven't acquired the knowledge contained in "Singing In The Studio", you
may experience the following:
· Lack of
confidence
You don't know who you should be singing
to, you are not set up at the mic in a way that your voice works best, you're
worried about what those people you see in the control room are going to think
about you when you start singing. That bagel you ate has long turned to dust
and your cool shoes are hurting your feet, adding to your mental fog.
· Lack of
vocal ability
You're having tone and pitch problems, you
run out of breath too soon, and your dry, tight throat starts hurting. You
can't do what your producer is asking, can't get emotionally connected to the
song, things go from bad to worse because you don't know how to fix anything
and you get frustrated and even tighter in your throat and chest. You don't
even know what to suggest about the cue you're hearing through your headphones,
but what you're hearing is not helping.
· The
recording project goes over-budget
Either your or your client's or investor's
time, money and effort is being wasted and in the end, no matter how long you
slave over your performance, you just don't feel you have magic.
· You have
to settle for a vocal you know you could have done better.
Armed with the knowledge contained in "Singing In The Studio", here's how
it will go instead:
· You go
into the vocal booth excited but confident.
It may be a new place but it feels
strangely familiar, because you understand what the gear is and what you use it
for. You might even know things the engineer doesn't about how to best set
yourself up at the mic.
· You can
sing with control and focus.
You have more breath than you need for any
line and because your voice is 'on', you just go into the 'zone' and connect
with the song.
· You meet
or come in under-budget.
You get vocal 'magic' early and don't need
to use all the studio time booked. You might take that extra time to experiment
and see if you can even beat your best, but whatever, you come away with a
final vocal that you are proud of.
· You get
that vocal that moves the heart of your intended audience.
If you are attempting to make a living in the
music business, you get a vocal that can move your career.
I witness these scenarios all the time. Unless you have extensive experience singing professionally in the
studio, there is no way you could obtain this kind of information ... UNTIL NOW.
"Singing In The Studio" is going to be a part of required reading for all of my developmental artists from now on. The wealth of invaluable information contained in these pages is presented in a concise, unambiguous manner. Judy's forty-plus years of experience in every aspect of vocal performance is immediately apparent from the first page. Judy Rodman is the true definition of 'professional' ". - Ron Oates, veteran producer, pianist, arranger

But wouldn't it cause a singer to sing mechanically and without heart if they study a system like this?
NO!
In fact, the information in this package teaches a singer
how to free the voice of tension, fear and many other limitations even as passion
and power are applied.
What exactly is "Singing In The Studio"?
"Singing In The Studio"
(capturing vocal performance magic) is
a one-of-a-kind multimedia system for singers and production teams.
The multimedia package includes:
- A jam-packed 130 page book.
- 7 audio "interviews with studio pros" (about 3 hours of discussion about studio singing with top engineers, producers and session singers).
- 1 audio vocal warm-up; can also be used for warm-down after performance.
- 1 video demonstration of vocal warm-up exercises.
The price:
"Singing In The Studio" multimedia system is priced at $197.However, for a limited time for the launch of this product, I am slashing the price to...
As
soon as you complete your purchase, you will be taken to an instant download
page where you will have access to all the files immediately.
Isn't this a lot of money for a book, some interviews and a warmup?
There is a ton of professionally proven information in this
multimedia program, but bottom line:
What would it be worth to have information that would
eliminate even one singer's issue that sabotaged his or her vocal performance
in the studio? Or offered one tip that released a singer's freedom of
expression to create the vocal that blows previous attempts away?
The book is a compilation of years of successful work I've
done in every studio vocal situation you could imagine. To augment my own thoughts and experiences, I
include hours of interviews with other studio pros who have credits with many
of the biggest artists in entertainment history. The package also contains an
extremely effective vocal warm-up routine I use all the time to get voices
prepared for studio work. To make sure you do the vocal exercises properly, I
include a video showing how to do these exercises with the correct form. It
would take many hours of expensive vocal lessons to get a portion of what is in
this course.
For people who want
and need to get that great vocal recording, this package is priceless.
