  • In today's video, Austin goes over how to approach writing vocals on an instrumental track. This video goes over how to find a selection of melodies, structure those melodies into a flowing vocal melody, find the theme and concept of the lyrics, and write the lyrics of a verse, pre-chorus, and chorus.
    If you want to see me write a full top-line from start to finish, check out our Lyrics and Melody Course!

      @@jimmyjay977 from personal experience i just usually track the melody with the piano as acompaiment and try to then produce a track on top of the simple piano you have as an accompainment, then if you want you can even discard the skeleton piano and keep simply the melody and the beat. like a sketch to a drawing which you erase after lining up with ink.

    I really love these reversed vocal sounds or the "oos and ahs" after the last sentence of the chorus. But I feel that last line could've been further driven home if it was said in the middle of those vocals and once more at the very end. Great video tho! Really helped me to see this process in a new light :)
