Recording vocals is an art all by itself. There are a lot of artist who aren’t
that talented when it comes to their voice. But, they make up for what they
lack vocally with technique. A bad vocal recorded is a bad vocal playing. If
the vocals are bad and they were recorded bad then the end result will be
bad no matter what you do. A lot of artist believe that everything can be
fixed in the studio when it comes to vocals. This truth is the first step to
good vocals is good recording techniques. There are three techniques that
you must learn. The first one is Microphone Technique and the second one
is Recording Technique and the third one is Vocal Technique.

why in recording studios you will find a windscreen on the microphone. It is
also the reason why no recording studio should be without a compressor
plug in or effect rack. Now when it comes to Microphone Technique there
are two things that you have to learn how to control. That is your distance
and your volume.
Recording Technique
An artist's Recording Technique is probably one of the most underrated
aspects of recording. This can add a whole new dimension to your voice if
done right. Here are a few valuable techniques that can take your verses to
the next level.

techniques for singers really wont help much unless your flow is real
melodic. Breathing Techniques for singers will help anybody in general.
But, if you find your voice's true tone and sweet spot those techniques will
help but it will not make a huge impact. Therefore, here are to techniques
that you should know.
