Members Mark L Posted October 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 Cool mate. Which songs? They're his original songs and he's sent me 5 demos so far. They definitely have a Beatles vibe and they're very good tunes He's singing on them but he wants someone else to take over lead vocal duties on the final cuts. He's quite a good singer actually and a great harmoniser. I feel under pressure now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mudcat007 Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 Makes sense to me. I always thought your voice has some Lennonesque qualities without sounding like you are deliberately trying to sound like Lennon (if that makes any sense ).

Members Jeff da Weasel Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 I've done tons and tons and tons of sessions like these over the years, as a singer, a guitarist, a bassist, a MIDI programmer, and so on. Enjoy it, and enjoy getting paid to sing. It's always surprising to me when people give me actual money to do what I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Sayers Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 I would suggest that singing lead vocals on an album (as opposed to a commercial) would attract an ongoing percentage fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mark L Posted October 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Ah ha! Nah. Thing is, even if I told her I'm being paid, she'd say the same. Her eyes glaze over whenever I talk about my hobby. She's not interested She likes it when I'm in a band, though. Because that gives her an excuse to dress up for gigs and play the part of 'rock chick' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Sayers Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 Interesting It's not interesting, Its a serious proposition. You started the "what would I have done in my past" thread. So what would you sign up to today. I'm just proposing an alternative ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I hardly slept last night worrying about this session vocals thing I desperately want to do it but I haven't sung in a 'proper' recording studio since 1985, and I'm absolutely crapping my pants! Might just have a drink before I set off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Sayers Posted October 29, 2010 Members Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hey - It's not about whether you can do it - we all know you can do it! and we'll all be waiting the outcome. I'm just saying that the guy running this believes your vocal sound is distinctive and could help his project - that's worth an ongoing fee IMO.
