    In this video, Berklee Online instructor Prince Charles Alexander and Berklee alumnus Brian Walker continue to produce his song “Call Me,” along with engineer Samantha Stallings. Prince Charles makes some productive suggestions for articulations in the first verse. They do multiple takes to focus on the intention of the lyrics, the crunch and articulation of the syllables, and to illuminate pops on plosive syllable sounds.

    Every time they tell him to move away from the mic, he move right back.

    I think pocket is such an understated part of singing. I love the way it was brought out from the performance.

    He was to close to the mic and the should have been brought up about to inches. He’s got a nice tone but his breathing control needs to be worked on a bit.
    Mic placement is key.

    • @DionIsaiah
      @DionIsaiah Před 5 lety

      Yea way to close and also on the mic position. In my last recording session I stood about 6 inches from the mic.

    Can anybody tell me where I can get more videos like this, where the producer is guiding the singer as he records the song? Please that would be very helpful.

      This is exactly what the vocal production course is on Berklee Online. Takes every part of this process and goes into depth on it with more sessions exactly like this. Prince Charles is actually one of the course co-authors!
