Vocal Production Class | Seattle

Vocal Production Course

Record, produce, and mix a quality vocal — mic technique, editing mastery, tuning & mixing vocals and a virtual studio visit with a vocalist at work. Sessions in-person in New York and Live Online.

Even though music producers are not expected to be singers too, the more we understand about vocal production and recording, the better the final product! This includes knowing how to motivate, coach, and produce our artists. Singing is not mandatory during these sessions - we understand! Feel free to just listen.

  • Vocal Instrumentation: Explore the voice as a versatile instrument. Uncover techniques to shape and enhance vocal tones, turning the voice into a dynamic instrument that adds depth and emotion to your productions.
  • Signal Chain: Navigate the intricate world of signal chains for vocals. Understand how to optimize your setup for clarity, ensuring that every nuance of the performance is captured with precision.
  • Performance Prowess: Dive into the heart of vocal performance. Learn how to bring out the best in a singer, capturing the raw emotion and subtle nuances that make each performance unique.
  • Editing Finesse: Refine your editing skills for a polished vocal delivery. Explore techniques to enhance timing and pitch while maintaining the natural feel of the performance, creating a seamless and engaging listening experience.
  • Harmony Harmony: Elevate your vocal arrangements with backing vocals. Discover the art of crafting harmonies that complement and enrich the main vocal, adding a layer of depth and dimension to your sound.
  • Mixing Vocal Considerations: Enter the realm of mixing with a focus on vocals. Explore considerations like EQ, compression, and effects tailored specifically for vocals, ensuring that your vocal elements sit perfectly in the mix.

It's not just about recording vocals; it's about crafting an experience that connects with listeners in a meaningful way.
