“If you are recording, you are recording. I don't believe there is such a thing as a demo or a temporary vocal. The drama around even sitting in the car and singing into a tape recorder that's as big as your hand - waiting until it's very quiet, doing your thing, and then playing it back and hoping you like it - is the same basic anatomy as when you're in the recording studio, really. Sometimes it's better that way because some of the pressure is off and you can pretend it's throwaway.” IfsWayBelieveSometimesHandsBigsWaitingCarDramaQuietSingingSittingPressureDon't BelieveStudiosTemporaryTapeVocalYou Like ItAnatomyRecordersDemosRecording Studio Author:Tom Waits
“You can alter movie singing so much because you go into the recording studio and, just technology for recording has gotten so good, you can hold out a note and they can combine a note from take 2 and a note from take 8.” TechnologySingingNotesStudiosRecording Studio Author:Anne Hathaway
“It's so different going in the studio and singing your own music and you don't really think about making sure that the message of the song or the idea behind the song comes across to people. Because it's in your head, it's in your heart, whatever, but it's... different when you're playing a character and you're singing as the character. There's just a lot more involved in that, I guess.” PeopleThinkingHeartIdeasDifferentCharacterSongBehindsInvolvedMessagesSingingStudios Author:Mandy Moore

“When I perform on stage I do achieve quite a variety of ways of singing. I was interested in trying to replicate that in the studio environment. I think it is an interesting alternative position, just to stretch people's imagination, myself included, as to who is actually singing the song. It's not to create alter-egos or characters - it always feels like me, even when the voice is extremely manipulated.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsTryingCharacterSongVoiceImaginationInterestingEnvironmentAchieveStagePositionEgoSingingStudiosLike MeVarietyAlternativesReplicateAlter Ego Author:Planningtorock

“The only recording studio was in Motown - it was called Tamla/Motown at that time and we used to audition there because Smokey Robinson was at that studio and Berry Gordy was the president. I remember asking Smokey to listen to my group and he did. For the first couple of years we were just singing background. We used to back up Marvin Gaye; Mary Wells was there then, Marv Johnson, the Marvelettes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Junior Walker and the All-Stars.” YearsFirstsWellsRememberUsedStarsPresidentGroupsCoupleSingingAskingStudiosBackgroundsMaryAuditionsJuniorsJohnsonBerriesWalkersMarvinAll StarsMotownRecording Studio Author:Diana Ross
