Studio recording is an entirely different experience from either performance or rehearsal. You’ll hear new things, have new reactions, and learn a ton. That’s why I love to take my students into the studio. But they’re almost always always new to the experience, so I start by giving a few basic tips & tricks.
- Wear quiet clothes (and layers because studios get warm)
- Bring water to stay hydrated.
- Bring your music for reference.
- Deodorant good. Fragrances bad.
- Arrive on time & ready to work! 5 minutes early is 10 minute late…
- The most important part of this process is listening to and following instructions quickly. Pacing is what gets the sessions done.
- Singing with studio headphones on takes getting used to – you’ll probably singing with one ear on, one ear off.
- Bring your most flexible, open mindset so you can keep moving forward.
- You will get frustrated and you will overcome it.
