The Producer's
Guide to Singers
A voice course
for Music Producers
Develop more empathy with your singers
Surely Producers understand how to record singers, right?
Maybe, but do they know, feel and understand what a singer experiences in the studio?
This course lets them understand what singers feel and helps the producer to get more empathy, better vocal delivery, a more polished song ….and maybe even more gigs as the “Producer who singers want to work with”.
SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE
You don’t really know a skill until you have experienced it first hand.
You may be a producer who has never actually sung or recorded your own voice in a studio.
Can you really guide a singer, extract a great performance and offer support and advice from behind the control room window?
Now is your chance to learn how it feels and then take those lessons into the studio to improve your sessions! Become a Producer who really understands singers!
Why would a producer need to learn to sing?
That’s a very good question. We’re glad you asked.
Recording in a studio can be exhilarating and nerve racking all at the same time for all musicians.
But none more than singers. Nerves, environment, being in the spotlight, physiology and biochemistry all affect a singer far more than any other instrumentalist.
Trying to deliver a top vocal performance with all these factors is a big undertaking and requires skill, technique, encouragement, practice and commitment.
As a producer, it usually falls to you to get the best performance from your singers which requires good people skills, good engineering skills and a high degree of humanity.
Producers often don’t really appreciate or understand how it actually feels being a singer in the studio environment. Telling (or worse, yelling at) your singer to just ‘sing in tune’ is not the answer.
So what is the answer? Try it yourself, that way you know how it feels and can have a more meaningful conversation with your singer and help them to deliver a better performance. Take the course today.

Empathy goes a long way in the music recording process
Singing is an organic and physiological thing
Understanding how a singer can correct tuning issues, stylize a phrase to make it more relevant, adjust the lyric delivery to capture the line more meaningfully, or achieve a more energized sound in a take, can give you an edge in your recording sessions.
You will improve the way you guide singers through the session and will keep the mood a positive one which keeps everyone more productive and positive!
In singing everyone has a unique instrument
As every human has a unique instrument, no two people can produce the same sound. For a producer to really understand what a singer needs to adjust to achieve a specific sound, you really need to have at least a basic understanding of singing and vocal technique.
Developing empathy and understanding can make a huge difference to the singer and to the end result.
Everyone wants a better performance from a relaxed, focused, practiced, skilled singer; input, advice, encouragement and guidance can bring out the best performance from your singers.
