Members Kingnome Posted August 8, 2002 Members Share Posted August 8, 2002 This is a pretty broad question.You didn't mention chord progressions. For me, I usually have a lyrical hook line, and then try to find it's own rhythm or cadence. Words have their own rhythm. My best choruses usually use this to the song's advantage.

Members WattsUrizen Posted August 12, 2002 Members Share Posted August 12, 2002 Now I don't really go about composing from vocals first, but my first thought about your question is that you need to know the vocal RANGE. Once you know the range, you will be in a much better position to craft melody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
